Does the timer keep running if I close Pike?

Yes. Start it, close the tab, and stop it later from your timesheet or the task. You can run one timer at a time.

Can I change hours after they are approved?

Not on your own. Once a manager approves your entries, you can no longer edit them. Admins and managers can still make changes from the admin view.

How do I mark work as non-billable?

Set it on the task. The hours your team logs there then stay out of billable utilization and margin.

Can I export timesheets?

Yes. You can download your own entries as CSV, and admins can export the whole team as CSV or Excel.

Does time off affect bookings?

Yes. Approved and pending leave come off that person's capacity, and you get a warning if you try to book over it.
