Abstract:
User input can be received at a client computing device. The user input can request one or more contacts for a user profile in a work tracking system that is remote from the client computing device. In response to the user input, information on one or more user profile contacts associated with the user profile in the work tracking system can be retrieved. At least one of the user profile contact(s) can be linked with one or more corresponding existing contacts in the client computing device. Work unit information (such as time information) that is associated with one of the user profile contact(s) can be captured in the client computing device and reported to the work tracking system over a computer network.
