Add a way to see the total time spent on subtasks
When I click on a task with several subtasks, it would be most helpful to have the time of subtasks totaled for the parent task. For example, if I am drawing a house plan (parent), it would be cool to have the 20 hours spent on the floor plan (child) and 15 hours on the elevations (child) be totaled as 35 hours spent under the parent floor plan task. This would make creating invoices much, much easier.
Thank you for the great software!

I did not know that collapsing shows total times. This works for me :-D!!
It would be nice to have this explained somewhere in the user guide, just to 'focus attention' to such a nice feature. -

Effort for One Task makes a viewer that shows only the efforts for the selected task and no other efforts for other tasks.
I should have realized that is another way to achieve what you want with even more detail…

Aaron,
Perfect!!! Awesome!!! That does it. Curious, what is the diufference between Effort, and Effort for one task. The two windows seem to show the same thing. Then again, I've only had this for a few days. Seriously cool software though. -

This is possible already, just collapse the parent and the column for time spent will show the sum total for all subtasks and any time tracked on the parent itself directly.
Please clarify if you want something more than this. I can edit your request to make it more clear. If this solves everything for you, let me know and I'll close the request.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
Aaron
