danwel offers seamless two-way synchronization with Google Calendar through our integrations system. To set this up, navigate to Settings > Integrations in your danwel dashboard and click "Connect" next to Google Calendar. After authorizing the connection with your Google account, you can choose which calendars to sync and configure your preferences.

Once connected, your planned time blocks in danwel will automatically appear in your Google Calendar, and external meetings or events from Google Calendar will be imported into danwel. This ensures you have a unified view of your schedule across both platforms. The synchronization happens in real-time, so any changes you make in either system will be reflected in the other within minutes.

danwel provides a flexible billing rate system that works at multiple levels. You can set default hourly rates at the organization level, which serve as the baseline for all work. For individual clients, navigate to the Clients section and set specific hourly rates that will override the default rates for all work done for that client.

For even more granular control, you can set project-specific rates that override both organization and client rates. This is particularly useful when you have different types of work for the same client (e.g., development vs consulting) or when you have special project agreements. The system automatically applies the most specific rate available: project rate > client rate > organization default rate.

Projects in danwel are designed to be the organizational backbone of your work. Start by creating projects under specific clients to maintain clear client-work relationships. Each project can have its own hourly rate, budget, and team member assignments.

Use the flexible labeling system to categorize work within projects. Labels can represent work types (development, design, meetings), priorities (urgent, normal, low), or any custom categories that fit your workflow. For development teams, consider linking projects to GitHub repositories to automatically sync issues and track development time. You can also create project templates for standardized workflows, which speeds up setup for similar projects.

danwel's time tracking is designed around a plan-first approach that improves accuracy and reduces forgotten entries. Start by using the visual weekly calendar to plan your time blocks in advance. This gives you a clear picture of your week and helps with time allocation.

When you're ready to work, you can easily convert planned time blocks into active time tracking with one click. The system will track actual time spent and compare it to your estimates, helping you improve planning accuracy over time. For billable work, make sure to mark entries as billable so they automatically flow into your invoicing system. The system learns from your patterns and provides smart suggestions for more efficient tracking.

danwel is built for team collaboration with comprehensive organization management features. As an organization owner or admin, you can invite team members with different permission levels: basic users can track their own time, while admins can manage projects, view team schedules, and access organization settings.

Team members can see shared project calendars, enabling better coordination and preventing scheduling conflicts. The comment system on tasks allows for team communication directly within the context of work items. Organization-wide reporting provides insights into team productivity, project progress, and resource allocation. All team members' work automatically contributes to project totals and client billing, creating a unified view of team efforts.

danwel provides comprehensive data export capabilities to ensure you always have access to your information. Through the Statistics section, you can generate and export detailed reports in multiple formats including PDF for client presentations, CSV for data analysis, and Excel for advanced reporting.

Export options include time tracking data filtered by date ranges, clients, projects, or team members. You can also export project summaries, client billing reports, and productivity analytics. All exports maintain the same structure and categorization as your danwel data, making it easy to integrate with external accounting systems or provide detailed client reports. For development teams, time tracking data linked to GitHub issues can be exported with repository and issue details included.
