Timelog
How do Time units work? How does conversion between days and hours work?
Time units are pre-defined units for a project. You can choose to use either hours or days. If during the course of a project you decide to change the time unit, you need to update all of your past entries.
Conversions between days and hours is based on the conversion rate set by Administrators within the account. The default conversion rate is 10 (1 day= 10 hours). Conversion rates are used when a report mixes records in days with records in hours (if for example a project is using hours and another project is using days).

In the report generation section, in the select options what do the terms 'Not assigned to anyone', 'Records without project' and 'Records without category' ?
The Timelog and Timesheet application allows you to enter a time record for a particular work item without associating it to a member of the project, or to a category. So those selections allow administrators and managers to generate reports for such records.
Please note that the ‘All' option includes records which are not associated with any member.

Why is it possible to enter negative time records or null time records?
A negative time record may be useful in certain cases, If you use Timelog to establish the amount of billable hours to a customer, you can use negative time records to adjust the total amount of work load being billed without changing the individual time records for the project.
Entering null time records can be useful in the following cases:
- Communicating to a customer that he is not being charged for a particular work item
- To indicate that a particular activity did not use up any workload
- To keep a record of an activity which is to be billed at a later time.
