I have used Toggl Track daily for two years across client work and internal projects.

Every step below comes from my own account, not vendor screenshots.

De meeste gebruikers benutten slechts een fractie van de mogelijkheden.

Stap voor stap, met screenshots en professionele tips.

Toggl-handleiding

This How to Use Toggl tutorial walks you through each feature, from your first timer to custom reporting dashboards.

Toggl

See exactly where your hours go. Toggl Track records time from the web app, desktop apps, mobile apps, and a browser extension, then turns it into reports you can bill from. Start on the free plan for up to five users.

Aan de slag met Toggl

Complete this one-time setup before you track anything.

Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.

Here is my personal experience with the setup:

Toggl Track: Tijdregistratie | Review van 2022

Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.

Stap 1: Maak uw account aan

Go to the Toggl Track website and click Sign Up.

Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox for the confirmation email.

Step 2: Install the Apps You Need

Toggl Track runs in any browser as a web app.

You can also download the desktop and mobile apps, plus the browser extension for Chrome or Firefox.

De belangrijkste voordelen van Toggl

Controlepunt: You should see the Timer page with a play button on the right.

Step 3: Create Your Workspace and First Project

Open Settings and name your workspace.

Click Projects, then New Project, and assign a client to it.

✅ Klaar: Je bent klaar om een ​​van de onderstaande functies te gebruiken.

How to Use Toggl Automated Time Tracker

Geautomatiseerde tijdregistratie captures what you work on in the background, even when you forget the toggl timer.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Stap 1: Open de desktop-app.

Automated tracking only works in the desktop app.

Install it on the device where you do most of your work.

Step 2: Switch On Background Tracking

Open Preferences and enable Track activity in the background.

Toggl Track then records every app and website you use.

Nothing is shared with your team until you convert it into time entries.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl geautomatiseerde tijdregistratie

Controlepunt: Your recorded activity appears as coloured blocks on the timeline.

Step 3: Convert Activity Into Time Entries

Click the Timeline tab and drag across any block of activity.

Add a description, pick a project, and save it.

✅ Resultaat: No more guessing how much time went into a single task.

💡 Pro-tip: Your timeline data stays private to your account until you turn a block into a time entry.

Hoe gebruik je Toggl-urenregistratierapporten?

Urenregistratierapporten show you line-by-line activity for every individual time entry in your workspace.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Stap 1: Open het tabblad Rapporten.

Click Reports in the left sidebar.

You will see Summary, Detailed, and Weekly views.

Step 2: Pick Your Report Type

The Summary Report groups total time tracking data by project or client.

The Detailed report lists every entry with its date and description.

The Weekly Report gives you a fast recap by user or project.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl Urenregistratierapporten

Controlepunt: Your filtered results load with a total at the top of the page.

Step 3: Filter and Save

Filter by date, project, client, billable status, tag, description, task, or team.

Set a custom time range when the preset date options do not fit.

Click Save to keep it with your other saved reports.

✅ Resultaat: A repeatable view of where your team spends its hours.

💡 Pro-tip: Saved reports can be shared with clients through a public link that hides your internal rates.

Hoe gebruik je Toggl-facturering?

Facturering turns tracked hours into PDF invoices without a separate billing tool.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Step 1: Open the Summary Report

Go to Reports and select Summary.

Set the date range you want to bill for.

Step 2: Filter to Billable Work

Set the billable filter to Yes and pick one client.

Only work you can charge for stays on screen.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl-facturering

Controlepunt: A draft invoice opens with your hours and amounts already filled in.

Step 3: Generate the Invoice

Click the invoice icon in the top right corner of the report.

Add your logo, payment terms, and tax, then export the file.

✅ Resultaat: Client billing that takes two minutes instead of an afternoon.

💡 Pro-tip: Mark an invoice as paid inside Toggl Track so the same hours never get billed twice.

Hoe gebruik je Toggl-tijdregistratie en -analyse?

Tijdregistratie en analyses gives project managers real-time insights into teams, projects, and resources.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Stap 1: Open Analytics

Click Analytics under Reports.

Choose the workspace you want to review.

Step 2: Compare Estimates Against Reality

Select a specific project to see tracked hours beside its estimate.

Red bars flag work that ran over budget.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl Tijdrapportage en Analyse

Controlepunt: Your charts update as soon as new entries are logged.

Step 3: Export the Findings

Different types of export are available depending on the report.

Download CSV or PDF and share it in your next review.

✅ Resultaat: Clear evidence of which work is profitable and which is not.

💡 Pro-tip: Compare two date ranges side by side to see whether a process change actually improved productivity.

Hoe gebruik je Toggl-integraties?

Integraties let you start the timer from inside the tools your team already uses.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Stap 1: Installeer de browserextensie

Add the Toggl Track extension to Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

It powers over 100 integrations on its own.

Step 2: Enable the Tools You Use

Open the extension settings and switch on Jira, Salesforce, or Asana.

A start button then appears on every task inside those apps.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl-integraties

Controlepunt: A small Toggl button sits next to each task in the connected tool.

Step 3: Track Without Switching Tabs

Click the button on any task to start tracking against it.

The task name becomes the entry description automatically.

✅ Resultaat: Time tracking that fits your workflow instead of interrupting it.

💡 Pro-tip: The extension also offers idle detection, which is a great feature when you step away mid-task.

Hoe Toggl-factureerbare tarieven te gebruiken

Factureerbare tarieven let you charge different amounts per client, project, member, or task.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Step 1: Set a Workspace Default

Open Settings and enter your default hourly rate.

Every new project inherits it unless you say otherwise.

Step 2: Override the Rate Per Project

Open a project, click Billable rates, and enter a custom amount.

You can go further and set a rate on a single task or team member.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Factureerbare tarieven in-/uitschakelen

Controlepunt: Your Summary Report now shows an amount column beside the hours.

Step 3: Mark Work as Billable

Click the dollar icon on any time entry to flag it.

Non-billable work still gets tracked but never reaches an invoice.

✅ Resultaat: Accurate revenue figures without a spreadsheet.

💡 Pro-tip: Rate changes only apply going forward, so set rates before a project starts.

Hoe gebruik je projectramingen en -meldingen in Toggl?

Projectramingen en -waarschuwingen warn your team before a project quietly runs past its budget.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Step 1: Add an Estimate

Open a project and click Edit.

Enter the hours you expect the work to take.

Step 2: Break Big Work Into Sub Projects

Large jobs are easier to manage as sub projects and tasks.

Give each one its own estimate so nothing hides inside a single number.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl-projectramingen en -waarschuwingen

Controlepunt: The project bar turns amber as tracked hours approach the estimate.

Step 3: Create the Alert

Go to Alerts, pick the project, and set a threshold such as 80%.

Choose which members receive the email.

✅ Resultaat: Vroeg warnings instead of end-of-month surprises.

💡 Pro-tip: Set the first alert at 50% so you still have room to renegotiate scope with the client.

Hoe gebruik je Toggl-projectdashboards?

Projectdashboards pull your most-watched numbers into one screen you can check at a glance.

Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.

Step 1: Open the Project Dashboard

Click Projects, then open any active project.

The dashboard tab loads first by default.

Step 2: Choose What to Display

Add widgets for tracked hours, billable amount, team activity, or task progress.

Drag them into the order that matches your bedrijf doelen.

Zo ziet het eruit:

Toggl-projectdashboards

Controlepunt: Your widgets fill with data from the last seven days.

Step 3: Switch to Calendar View

Use the calendar view to see the same work laid out by day.

You can copy events from your own calendar into your workspace as entries.

✅ Resultaat: One screen that answers where the week actually went.

💡 Pro-tip: Set access rights so only admins and project managers can edit dashboards others rely on.

Veelvoorkomende fouten bij Toggl die je moet vermijden

Mistake #1: Tracking Everything Under One Project

❌ Fout: Logging all work against a project called Admin, which tells you nothing later.

✅ Rechts: Create a new project per client and use tasks for the work inside it.

Mistake #2: Skipping the Description Field

❌ Fout: Leaving entries blank and trying to remember them at invoice time.

✅ Rechts: Type what you are doing before you hit play, even if it is four words.

Mistake #3: Setting Billable Rates Too Late

❌ Fout: Adding rates after a month of tracking, then wondering why amounts read zero.

✅ Rechts: Set default billing rates when you create the project, before anyone tracks time.

Probleemoplossing voor Toggl

Problem: The Timer Kept Running Overnight

Oorzaak: Idle detection was switched off in the desktop app.

Repareren: Open the running entry, edit the end time, then enable idle detection in Preferences.

Problem: A Team Member Cannot See a Project

Oorzaak: The project is set to private, or their access rights are limited.

Repareren: Open the project, switch it to public, or add that person to the project team.

Problem: Reports Show Zero Billable Amount

Oorzaak: Entries were never marked billable, so there is no rate to apply.

Repareren: Bulk-select the entries in the Detailed report and toggle billable on.

📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, contact Toggl support.

Wat is Toggl?

Schakel Track is a time tracking tool for freelancers and businesses that measures hours spent on projects.

Think of it like a stopwatch that files its own paperwork.

Most people use Toggl Track to bill accurately and to see where the week went.

For example, an agency can track time per client, then invoice straight from the report.
