Color & Title (1)
The entry title defaults to the project name. You can add text (e.g., naming a project phase) and mark it with symbols (under "More Options") or emoticons.

Duration (2)
If you select one or more days within a week, you can create a recurring entry. Alternatively, you can create a continuous entry to skip absences or define a total sum of hours per day.
Select Person & Project (3)
The number on the right shows the unplanned remaining hours if the project is budgeted.
Select Service (4)
For simplicity, you can initially ignore the service during rough planning, as it is optional. Selecting the service offers the following advantages:
Select Service (4)
For simplicity, you can initially ignore the service during rough planning, as it is optional. Selecting the service offers the following advantages:
- More accurate calculation if the hourly rate is defined by service.
- The service is pre-selected for time tracking, and you can directly use the stopwatch.
- The number on the right shows the unplanned remaining hours if the service is budgeted. Budgeting individual services is independent of the project budget.
Hours per Day or Total (5)
The number of hours is freely enterable. The numbers on the right are for quick selection. An entry with 0 hours can be used for various information, deadlines, etc.
Instead of hours per day, you can also let MOCO evenly distribute a total sum of hours over a certain period. For example, using the From-To Entry.

More Options (6)
Here you will find options that can be used as needed:
- Symbols

- Option to mark the entry as tentative (does not affect workload)
- Change log: The history of actions is traceable at the end of the entry.
Add Person to Project (7)
If the selected person is not yet assigned to the project (for time tracking), this can be easily done here via the checkbox.

Extend or Shorten

English image not yet available...Recurring or Continuous
For recurring or continuous entries that skip absences, you create an entry series. This consists of individual linked sequences marked with a linking symbol.
Recurring: Weekly, bi-weekly, or every 4 weeks
If an entry – for example, on a weekday – is to be repeated, select "Recurring?" and an end date.
Continuously Even
If a project is to be planned evenly over a certain period, choose the start and end dates as well as the total hours – also whether absences should be skipped.

English image not yet available...Modify
A series can be moved or modified via drag & drop. When deleting or modifying, MOCO asks if the change should apply to this one, all, or this one + all future sequences. An individual sequence from a series entry can be adjusted and extended or shortened.
Detach from Series
With a right-click, a sequence can now be easily detached and moved to another person. For example, for vacation replacements.

The end cannot simply be copied from the last sequence with a right-click to create the "extension series entry" afterward.
Skip Absences
If an entry spans several weeks or months and should be evenly distributed, enter the from-to dates and usually select "Skip Absences" (see illustration).
