Clicking on the **Time Tracking** icon will open the grid to show the constituent's time tracking history. The **Total Hours**and **Last Time Tracking Date**are shown on the top left side of the grid.

In the new window they can allow the software to calculate the time for them by entering the dates and times, or they can click on **Enter Time** to manually enter the date and number of hours and minutes.

They have access to all the same fields as internal users do and can assign the applicable **Service Categories, Related Contact, Location**, and add **Comments**.

When they click **Update**the record will be saved in the database. Only an authorized internal user can edit the information.
