Using Timers

Start a clock, work, and save the result straight to your timesheet

A timer counts your time while you work, so you are not reconstructing your day from memory afterwards. Timers live on the daily timesheet.

Starting a timer

  1. Go to Time & Expenses and switch to the Daily Timesheet.
  2. Click Start New Timer next to the Timers in Progress heading. The clock begins immediately.
  3. Choose your Client-Project and Activity while it runs — you do not have to set these up front.
  4. Add a description so you remember what the block was for.

Timer Started

A new timer begins counting the moment you click Start New Timer — you can fill in the details afterwards.

Timer Activity Dropdown

Choosing an activity for the running timer. The clock keeps counting while you do.

Timer Running

A running timer with the client, project, activity, and description filled in.

The timer controls

Timer Controls

The three timer buttons — pause, stop, and reset — sit beside the running clock, with a save icon to the right.

Control
What it does
Pause
Holds the clock where it is. Click again to resume.
Stop
Ends the timing session and keeps the elapsed time.
Reset
Returns the clock to zero and discards the elapsed time.
Save
Writes the elapsed time to your timesheet as a time entry.

Running more than one timer

By default you can only run one timer at a time — starting a new one stops the current one. An administrator can change this at Settings → Timer Settings under Concurrent Timers.

Rounding

If your firm has set timer rounding, the saved entry is rounded when you save it. For example, with rounding set to five minutes, a two-minute timer saves as five minutes and a twelve-minute timer saves as fifteen. This is configured at Settings → Timer Settings.

Important: A timer running in a browser tab depends on that tab staying open. If you close the browser, use the mobile app for long-running work, or stop and save the timer before you finish for the day.
