Welcome back to SSTRA, your stupid simple time registration app! We're excited to introduce a powerful yet straightforward new feature designed to help you make even more sense of your logged time: SSTRA Reports. Logging time is great, but understanding where that time truly goes is where the real value lies. Our new Reports page gives you clear insights at a glance, without any complicated setup.
What Can You See on the Reports Page?
The Reports page is designed with simplicity in mind, offering two main summaries:
1. Total Hours per Project
Ever wonder which projects are consuming most of your time? This section gives you a clear list of all your projects (active and archived) and the total hours logged for each within the selected date range. It’s perfect for:
- Identifying your biggest time investments.
- Tracking progress against project goals.
- Understanding your work distribution.
2. Daily Totals
This summary shows you the total hours you've logged for each day, typically for the "Last 7 Days" or "Last 30 Days" (you can toggle this view). It helps you:
- See your recent activity patterns.
- Ensure you're consistently logging your time.
- Quickly review how much work was done on any specific recent day.
Filtering Your View: Focus on What Matters
To make these reports even more useful, we've included simple but effective date filters:
- Predefined Ranges: Quickly see data for "All Time," "This Week," "Last Week," "This Month," or "Last Month."
- Custom Date Range: Need to look at a specific period? Just select "Custom Range" and pick your start and end dates.
The reports will dynamically update based on your chosen filter, giving you precisely the information you need.
Dive Deeper: Interactive Drill-Downs!
Summaries are great, but sometimes you need the nitty-gritty details. That's why we've made the reports interactive!
- Project Details: In the "Total Hours per Project" table, simply click on any project name. The page will then display a detailed list of all individual time entries for that project, still respecting your main date filter. You'll even see a sub-total for the hours shown in that detailed view.
- Daily Details: In the "Daily Totals" table, click on any date. You'll see all the time entries logged on that specific day, across all projects.
To go back to the summary view, just click the "(Clear Details)" link in the heading of the detailed entries section.
Take Your Report With You: Email Summaries
Need to share your report or keep a copy? Click the "Send to My Email" button.
SSTRA will send a nicely formatted email to your registered address containing:
* The main summary views (Total Hours per Project, Daily Totals).
* If you are currently viewing detailed entries (for a specific project or date), those details will also be included in the email!
It's your data, your way.

We believe this new Reporting feature, while keeping things "stupid simple," adds significant value by helping you understand and manage your time more effectively.
