# Connect Tracker to Timesheets

Allow staff to add logged events to timesheet notes.

If your staff are using Tracker to log various types of events, this information can be added to the staff member's timesheet notes by connecting Tracker to timesheets. This is especially useful for tracking medicine that is administered by staff during their shifts.

Timesheet notes are displayed in the Shift Notes section of the dashboard allowing other support workers to easily view them before or during a shift. Multiple logged events may be added to a single timesheet.

> **Success:** To learn how to configure Tracker for logging events, see our [help article](https://help.ability8.app/en/articles/29-set-up-tracker-events.md).

## Enable Tracker-Timesheet settings

1.  Go to the **More** menu > **Family Settings** > **General Settings**.
    
2.  Click the **Edit** button.
    
3.  Scroll to the bottom of screen and enable one or both of the following settings:
    
    -   To allow staff to link an existing timesheet and update timesheet notes when logging an event in Tracker, enable the **Change Timesheet Notes on Tracker** setting.
        
    -   To send staff to the Tracker screen to log an event after they submit a timesheet, enable the **Open Tracker on Timesheet Submit** setting. Note: This will occur every time a Staff user submits a timesheet.
        
4.  Click **Save**.
