ANTE User ManualEngagement Allocation
Engagement Allocation shows tracked Time Tracker minutes over a date range, grouped by engagement — a quick read on where task time actually went across your engagements. Click any row for a per-employee breakdown, or export the range to Excel.
Every figure on this report is task-allocation time — minutes from closed Time Tracker segments, tracked purely for the sake of knowing where work went. It never reconciles with attendance/DTR time and must not be read as payroll hours. A segment that is still running is excluded from the totals until it closes.
Accessing Engagement Allocation
- In the sidebar, go to Workspace.
- Click Reports to expand the menu.
- Select Engagement Allocation.
Permission required: the Engagement Allocation permission (PROJECT_REPORTS_ENGAGEMENT_ALLOCATION_ACCESS). If the menu item is not visible, ask your administrator to grant it.
The Engagement Allocation Report
The report covers the last 7 days by default and lists engagements with the most tracked time first, including a No engagement row for segments on tasks that have no engagement assigned.
Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Engagement | The engagement code and name (for example "ENG-001 — Acme Retainer"), or No engagement for segments on tasks with no engagement set |
| Tracked Time | Total closed-segment minutes for that engagement across the selected range |
| Share | This row's tracked minutes as a percentage of the grand total across every row currently shown |
| Tasks | Number of distinct tasks under that engagement with tracked time in the range |
| People | Number of distinct employees who tracked time on that engagement in the range |
The table footer shows the Total tracked time across every row in the current range and filters.
Filters
- Date range — defaults to the last 7 days
- Employee search — narrows the report to one employee's tracked time
The employee search only lists people who tracked time in the currently selected range, so changing the date range clears the employee filter — pick your range first, then narrow by employee.
Viewing the Per-Employee Breakdown
Click any engagement row to open a dialog with that engagement's Total tracked minutes and every employee who contributed to it, sorted by minutes worked (highest first). Each entry shows the employee's name, employee code, task count, and tracked minutes for that engagement.
Exporting to Excel
Click Export to download the current date range and employee filter as an Excel workbook — one row per engagement-and-employee pair, with Minutes, Hours, and Tasks columns, plus a grand-total row and a subtitle reminding readers the figures are task-tracker allocation, not attendance or payroll hours.
Permission required: exporting needs the separate Engagement Allocation Export permission (PROJECT_REPORTS_ENGAGEMENT_ALLOCATION_EXPORT) — holding only the view permission lets you see the report but not export it.
About These Figures
Tracked Time here comes entirely from Time Tracker's own closed segments — it is a record of task allocation, not a time clock. It is deliberately decoupled from attendance/DTR and must never be presented as, or substituted for, payroll hours. A segment still running contributes nothing until it closes, so a range that looks "light" may simply have work still in progress.
For the day-by-day, per-employee version of this same data, see Time Tracker Logs. For the same range grouped by project instead of engagement, see Project Allocation.
Troubleshooting
Engagement Allocation is not visible in the sidebar. You do not have the Engagement Allocation permission. Ask your administrator to grant it.
Export does nothing or fails. Viewing and exporting are separate permissions — confirm you hold PROJECT_REPORTS_ENGAGEMENT_ALLOCATION_EXPORT, not just the access permission.
The numbers look too low. Running segments are excluded until they close, so time from a session still in progress will not appear yet. Also double-check the date range — it defaults to the last 7 days.
