Timer

Using a timer while working on a task allows you to get precise information on the efforts required to complete a task. An automatic time log reduces the risk of forgetting how long a task took, which can happen with manual logging, especially over long periods.

They are particularly helpful in focused work sessions, as they provide accurate and effortless tracking.

How to start a timer

1. Open Time log in any of the three ways possible (from the Time log field in Standard fields; from the Time log section in Task settings or from Task time tracker). 
2. Start a timer.
3. Stop it once you are done.
4. Click on Save. 

You can also check the time logged at the bottom of the page, when the timer is ON. 

After saving your Time log, you will also be redirected to the History tab 1.

Here, you can:

2 See all the time logs from everyone who is working on that particular task are recorded here.

3 Read comments

4 Edit time logs

5 Delete records if needed. 

Task timer tracker

The fastest way to start a timer is by using a Task time tracker 1. Once you open it, you will see a Timer tab 2. Unlike when you start a timer from Standard fields or Task settings, here you have to choose a task 3 first for which you are going to log time.

Then, you have to click on Start timer 4. Once you're done, click on Stop. Add comments 5 if needed, and finally click on Save 6.

You can then switch to the History tabs to check, edit, or delete entries.
