# I cannot create time entries

## This is how you can create time entries on Memtime

Memtime is a powerful time-tracking tool that tracks your activities across programs, documents, emails, video calls, meetings, and even browser tabs on your device.

### Why Are Time Entries Important?

To make the most out of Memtime, you need to create time entries. These entries are the cornerstone of the system, as they allow you to group captured activities and assign them to specific projects.

If you're unfamiliar with creating projects, **[read this article](https://knowledgebase.memtime.com/en/how-to-create-projects-in-memtime?hsLang=en)** to learn more.

### How to Create Time Entries

Memtime offers two distinct methods for creating time entries, depending on how you use the tool:

#### 1. Basic User License

If you have a **Basic user license**, you can download **Memtime Projects** to create and manage your projects. Once set up, you can assign your time entries directly to these projects.

#### 2. Software Management Integration

If you use a **Software Management Program** that integrates with Memtime, you can import projects from your ERP and create time entries directly within Memtime. This option is available only for **Connect** or **Premium users**.
