Task comments: how to show them in reports and invoices
Everhour allows you to add detailed comments to your time entries to provide context for your tracked hours, view them in custom reports, or include them on client invoices.
How to Add or Edit Comments
You can add or update comments directly from the Time page using either the List or Timesheet view.
1. List View
Select any time entry on the List tab to add or modify its comment.
2. Timesheet View
Click on a time cell in the Timesheet tab to enter or edit a comment for that specific entry.
3. Direct Integrations
You can also attach comments directly within supported integrations (such as Asana, Trello, Basecamp 3, ClickUp, and GitHub) when starting a timer or logging hours manually. Learn more in our Integration Guides.
How to Include Comments in Reports
To display time entry comments in your custom reports:
- Go to Reporting > Create New Report (or edit an existing one).
- Open the Layout tab.
- Locate the Comments column on the right side and drag it to the active columns on the left.
To display the full text of each comment alongside tracked time, your report must also include both the Member and Task Title columns.
If these columns are omitted, the report will display a link instead, which opens a modal showing the comment history for that entry.
How to Include Comments on Invoices
Everhour supports dynamic time entry grouping on invoices using line-item meta tags. You can include entry comments directly on client invoices by selecting the Comment meta tag during invoice customization.
