This article applies to legacy Work Orders in UpKeep.


In the current design of legacy Work Orders, you can log time for technicians either manually or by using the timer button. Occasionally, too much time may be logged, and adjustments are needed.

The steps to edit or delete time entries depend on how the time was originally recorded. See the detailed instructions below to make the necessary corrections.

🔧 Note: Time logged through the labor box cannot be edited directly. You’ll need to delete the entry and re-add it with the correct time.
