Breakdown of hours worked over whole job

Hi. I've been working on an hourly job intermittently over the last year. I'd like, if possible, to get a summary of all the hours I've worked, broken down by memo. Something like this...

 

Memo 1... 3 hours

Memo 2.... 2.5 hours

Memo 3... 10 hours

etc.

 

I guess I could compile a list like that myself, by looking back through the whole work diary. But is there an easier way to do it?

Hi Richard,

 

If you go to Reports > My Reports you should be able to customize your report to add a Memo column or sort by Memo. You can also select a custom date range, which can go back up to a year. If it helps you can also export this report as a CSV and then edit it further to fit your needs.

 

Hope this information is helpful,

You could activate your client profile, post a job and hire a fellow freelancer to do it for you.

Really, the work diary is meant as a tool for short term use, so the client can review your work before approving payment. Beyond that (you and ) your client should have a proper way of managing the project. 

You you need the memos from one year back it means there are bigger issues you and the client should improve.

Thanks Andrea. I didn't realize the Weekly Summary report page was so flexible.

It never used to be, and it's only usefully flexible with a Plus Account.

I suppose that might be a good reason to get Plus--if I needed 80 connects a month. Anyway, I managed to extract the info I needed, without Plus, though I had to do some work on it in Excel, to do things like filtering out other contracts. (There doesn't seem to be a way in the web page to select just one contract.) So I guess it's not really very flexible, but it's better than I expected.

Great job, Upwork, on training your users to have low expectations 🙂
