Perché fidarsi di questa guida
I’ve used Harvest for two years across client projects and tested every feature covered here. This tutorial comes from real hands-on work — not marketing fluff or vendor screenshots.
Harvest is one of the most trusted time tracking tools available today.
But most teams only ever click the start button and stop there.
This guide shows you how to use Harvest properly — every major feature, step by step.
With screenshots, videos, and the pro tips I wish someone had given me on day one.
Tutorial sulla raccolta
This How to Use Harvest tutorial walks through every feature in order, from your first account setup to the reports that tell you which clients actually make you money.
Raccolto
Track time, bill clients, and measure performance with confidence. Harvest turns tracked hours into invoices and instant reports, and connects to the tools your team already uses. Start free — no credit card required.
Come iniziare con Harvest
Prima di utilizzare qualsiasi funzionalità, completa questa configurazione iniziale.
Ci vogliono circa tre minuti.
Here’s what my own Harvest account looked like after setup:
Ora analizziamo passo passo ciascuna fase.
Passaggio 1: crea il tuo account
Go to the Harvest website and click Sign up.
Inserisci il tuo indirizzo email di lavoro e crea una password.
You get a 30-day trial with no credit card required.
✓ Punto di controllo: Controlla il tuo posta in arrivo for the confirmation email and click the sign-in link.
Passaggio 2: Invita il tuo team
Go to Team and click the + Invite person button.
Choose their permission level, add their capacity and roles, then set their default billable rates and cost rates.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Once added, each teammate receives an email invite and shows up in your Team list.
Step 3: Customize Your Preferences
Administrators can customize account preferences under Settings > Preferences.
Set Timer mode to Duration or Start and end times, pick your week start day, and turn on automatic timesheet reminders.
Those gentle reminders do more for adoption than any policy document.
✅ Fatto: Sei pronto per utilizzare una qualsiasi delle funzioni seguenti.
Come utilizzare Harvest Time Tracker
Tracciatore del tempo lets you start a timer or log manual entries in seconds.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Passaggio 1: Apri il tuo foglio presenze
Go to Time > Timesheet in the left sidebar.
Click the green + Track time button.
Step 2: Choose Client, Project and Task
Pick the client, project, and task from the dropdowns.
Add a short description so the entry still makes sense next month.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: The timer appears at the top of your timesheet and starts counting.
Step 3: Stop and Save the Entry
Click the stop icon when the work is done.
Harvest will save the entry to that day automatically.
Forgot to start it? Click any past day and type the hours in as a manual entry.
✅ Risultato: Your first hours are tracked and ready to bill.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Switch Timer mode between Duration and Start and end times under Settings > Preferences before your team starts tracking.
Come utilizzare i report e le analisi di Harvest
Report e analisi lets you pull instant reports across projects, budgets, and team capacity.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Passaggio 1: Scegli il tuo metodo di input
Click Reports in the top navigation.
Harvest opens the Time Report by default.
Step 2: Set Your Date Range and Filters
Choose a week, month, or custom range.
Filter by client, project, task, or teammate.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: A bar chart and a summary table load for the range you picked.
Step 3: Export or Drill Into a Row
Click any row to see the entries behind the number.
Export to CSV when you need the raw data elsewhere.
Bookmark the filtered view you check every week.
✅ Risultato: You can see exactly where the week went, project by project.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Use the Time Report to spot profitable and unprofitable clients, then check non-billable time for hidden inefficiencies.
Come utilizzare Harvest Invoice Tracker
Tracker fatture lets you convert tracked time and expenses directly into an invoice.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Start a New Invoice
Go to Invoices and click + New invoice.
The invoice wizard opens with your client list.
Step 2: Pull In Uninvoiced Time
Choose the client and the billing period.
Harvest imports uninvoiced hours and expenses with a detailed breakdown.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: The draft lists every billable item with hours, rate, and total.
Passaggio 3: Rivedi e invia
Edit any line description, then click Send.
Your client gets an email with a payment link.
Harvest then tracks the status from Draft to Sent to Paid, and chases late payers for you.
✅ Risultato: An invoice is out the door in under two minutes.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Connect PayPal or Stripe so clients can pay from the invoice itself instead of asking for bank details.
Come utilizzare le integrazioni di Harvest
Integrazioni lets you start timers inside the tools your team already opens daily.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Passaggio 1: Apri la Guida di stile
Go to Settings > Integrations.
Browse the list of connected apps.
Passaggio 2: Installa l'estensione del browser
Add the Harvest extension to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
A timer button then appears inside Asana, Trello, and dozens of other tools.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: A small Harvest button shows up on tasks inside your project tool.
Step 3: Connect Your Accounting App
Collegamento QuickBooks Online or Xero for automatic syncing.
Invoices and payments flow both ways without manual re-entry.
Add PayPal or Stripe here as well if you want clients paying online.
✅ Risultato: Your team tracks time without ever leaving their workflow.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Install the mobile apps too, so field work and client calls get logged before anyone forgets them.
Come utilizzare Harvest Project Manager
Responsabile del progetto lets you create projects, assign teammates, and define how each one bills.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Passaggio 1: Creare un nuovo progetto
Go to the Projects section and click + New project.
Select an existing client or add a new one.
Name it something your team recognizes, not an internal job code.
Step 2: Pick the Project Type
Scegli tra Tempo e Materiali, Tariffa fissa o Non fatturabile.
This decides how hours turn into money later.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: The project appears in your active list with the client name beside it.
Step 3: Assign Your Team
Add the teammates who will work on it.
Click Save and the project goes live.
✅ Risultato: Your team can now track time against a real project instead of a guess.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Add specific tasks under Manage > Tasks with + New task, so reports show design and revisions separately.
Come utilizzare il monitoraggio del budget di raccolta
Monitoraggio del budget lets you set hourly or fixed fee budgets and watch them as work progresses.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Passaggio 1: Aprire le impostazioni del progetto
Click a project, then choose Edit.
Scroll to the budget section.
Step 2: Choose a Budget Method
Set total project hours, hours per task, or total project fees.
Enter the number you agreed with the client.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: A budget bar appears on the project page showing hours used.
Step 3: Turn On Budget Alerts
Check the box for an email warning at 80 percent.
Save the project.
For retainer clients, choose the option that resets the budget every month.
✅ Risultato: You find out about overruns while you can still do something about them.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Add cost rates alongside billable rates so the budget bar shows real margin, not just revenue.
How to Use Harvest Team Scheduler
Pianificazione del team lets you track capacity and utilization to balance workloads.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Invite and Configure Your Team
Go to Team and click the + Invite person button.
Choose their permission level and add their roles.
Step 2: Set Weekly Capacity
Enter how many hours each person is available per week.
Part-time staff get a lower number here.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Each teammate shows a capacity bar next to their tracked hours.
Step 3: Review the Capacity Report
Open Reports and switch to the team view.
Anyone above their capacity line is overloaded.
✅ Risultato: You can rebalance work before someone quietly burns out.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Review capacity every Monday morning. Reshuffling one project Presto beats an emergency handover two weeks later.
How to Use Harvest Client Manager
Gestione clienti lets you keep client records, contacts, and default rates in one place.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Add a New Client
Go to Manage > Clients and click + New client.
Enter the company name and billing address.
Step 2: Add Contact People
Add each person who should receive invoices.
Invoices then send to the right inbox automatically.
✓ Punto di controllo: The client shows up in the dropdown when you create a project.
Step 3: Set Default Rates and Currency
Give the client a default hourly rate and currency.
Every new project inherits those settings.
✅ Risultato: Client billing details are set once instead of retyped every month.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Archive old clients rather than deleting them. Their history stays in reports and past invoices remain intact.
How to Use Harvest Time-Off Manager
Gestione delle ferie lets you log holidays and sick days so reports show real available hours.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Create Time Off Types
Go to Manage > Time off.
Add holiday, sick leave, and any other categories you need.
Step 2: Let the Team Request Days
Teammates log time off from their own timesheet.
Requests land with the account administrator.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Approved days off show on the calendar and reduce available capacity.
Step 3: Approve and Check the Calendar
Approve requests from the time off screen.
Approved days appear in team reports.
Remaining balances update on their own as days are approved.
✅ Risultato: Your utilization numbers stop looking terrible every August.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Mark time off as non-billable. Otherwise holidays quietly drag down your utilization percentage in every report.
Consigli e scorciatoie per la raccolta
After two years of daily tracking, here are the shortcuts I actually use.
Fast Paths
| Azione | Scorciatoia |
|---|---|
| Start a new time entry | Time > Timesheet, then + Track time |
| Stop the running timer | Stop icon in the top bar |
| Start a timer inside another app | Harvest browser extension icon |
| Track time away from your desk | Harvest mobile app timer |
Funzionalità nascoste che la maggior parte delle persone non nota
- Non-billable analysis: Filter reports by non-billable time to find where hours disappear into admin and rework.
- Cost rates: Add what each person costs you, not just what you charge, and reports show true project margin.
- Retainer projects: Set a fixed fee project with a monthly budget to see when a retainer client has gone over.
- Timesheet approvals: Turn on approvals and set a weekly deadline so hours are locked before invoicing day.
Errori comuni da evitare durante la raccolta
Mistake #1: Tracking to Projects Instead of Tasks
❌ Sbagliato: Everyone logs eight hours to one project called Client Work with no task or description.
✅ A destra: Create specific tasks under Manage > Tasks, and make a short description mandatory on every entry.
Mistake #2: Setting Budgets and Never Checking Them
❌ Sbagliato: A budget is added at kickoff, then nobody looks again until the project is 40 percent over.
✅ A destra: Turn on budget alert emails and run a monthly review of timesheets to check accuracy of tracked hours.
Mistake #3: Letting Timesheets Pile Up
❌ Sbagliato: Teammates reconstruct three weeks of work from memory the night before invoicing.
✅ A destra: Establish a consistent weekly deadline for timesheet submission, and gamify it with a simple team streak.
Risoluzione dei problemi di raccolta
Problem: Time Doesn’t Show On the Invoice
Causa: The project is set to Non-Billable, or the task is marked non-billable.
Aggiustare: Open the project, change the type to Time & Materials, and mark the task billable. Then rebuild the invoice.
Problem: The Timer Keeps Running Overnight
Causa: The timer was left running when the browser tab was closed.
Aggiustare: Edit the entry from your timesheet and correct the hours. Switch Timer mode to Duration if this keeps happening.
Problem: The Browser Extension Button Is Missing
Causa: The integration isn’t enabled for that app, or the extension needs permission on the site.
Aggiustare: Open the extension settings, enable the app, refresh the page, and sign in again if prompted.
📌 Nota: If none of these fix your issue, check the Harvest help center — its short articles and setup videos cover most edge cases — then contact Harvest support.
