Kinds of work
Name what an hour was spent on. A task carries its kind, and every hour logged on it inherits it.
A kind of work says what an hour was: design, supervision on site, a meeting. A task carries one, and every hour logged against it inherits it.

On a task
In the task sheet, Kind of work starts as Not sorted. The kinds of the task’s specialization lead the list, and the rest are a click away.
Hours logged on the task take its kind. If your company lets people mark an hour as something else, the daily form offers Something else. Fix hours on Timesheets can change the kind of any line.
