### What is it?

If you want to keep your timesheets tidy, EasyTime can align all the work logs it creates.

For example, if you bill in 1-hour increments, EasyTime can create work logs at 9:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m. and so on.

Now, when [you look at your timesheets](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046349) during the day, everything lines up, and gaps stand out as exceptions that [can be easily identified](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4948091) and [dealt with](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046349).

### How to configure it?

Navigate to the [EasyTime Configuration Screen](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5374470). The [length of the billing interval](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4882447) or the "step" of the time grid is controlled by the "Minimal Unit of Time" parameter.

 Checking "Align time records to the closest time slot" will make EasyTime move the start of the work log to the start of the closest time interval in the hour, thus aligning it to the grid of the chosen intervals.

For example, with the minimal unit of time set to "15 Minutes", the 15-minute work log created when the user goes to view an issue at 1:17 p.m. will start at 1:15 p.m.

If the checkbox is not checked, the work log will start at the time when it was created, i.e. 1:17 p.m.

Check or uncheck the checkbox, and press **Save** at the bottom of the screen.
