# Adding Tracker events to a timesheet

If you're responsible for logging tracker events, you can easily include this information in your timesheet notes.

> **Warning:** Adding tracker event information to timesheets requires an Administrator to [connect Tracker to Timesheets](https://help.ability8.app/en/articles/28-connect-tracker-to-timesheets.md).

To add a tracker event to your timesheet:

1.  Record your timesheet details as usual via the Schedule or Timesheets list.

2.  Click the **Submit for Approval** button.
    
    > **Info:** If the **Open Tracker on Timesheet Submit** option was enabled in Family Settings by the Administrator, you will be taken directly to the **New Tracker Event** screen. Skip to step 4.
    
3.  To log an event, go to the **More** menu > **Tracker** and click the **New Event** button.
    
4.  Select the **Event Type** (left side) and log the event details in each screen.

6.  Select the **timesheet** from the list.
    
7.  If you're logging multiple events on the same timesheet, select the **Save and New** button and log the next event. Repeat this process for each new event.
    
8.  Once all events have been logged, click **Save**. Event details will auto-populate within the **Timesheet Notes** field.
