Here’s how the Quick Entry box makes clever assumptions about your entries so you can save yourself typing and hair-pulling:
- Enter “15”, and it logs 15 minutes.
- Enter “1”, and it logs 1 hour.
- Enter “1 day”, and it logs 8 hours.
You can override the Quick Entry assumptions by using “h” and “m” to indicate hours and minutes.
Behold! A few more Quick Entry tabulation examples.

*Note: these tabulations are for a project with a default billing increment of 15 minutes. Noko will round up those annoying 3-minute tasks for you! If you’ve set your billing increment to “none,” or some other value, your rounding may vary. Adjust your billing increment on the Settings & Tools tab of your Noko dashboard. Play around with the Quick Entry box, and it’ll quickly become your time tracking & billing BFF.
