If you are working on multiple tasks simultaneously and wish to track time, then using a timer can be very helpful. For eg, you can start the timer for say Task T1. Let us say after a couple hours, you wish to switch to task T2Timers allow you to accurately track time spent on Work Items. You 'Start' the timer when you start working on the Work Item and 'Stop' it when you are done. You can also 'Pause' the timer if you temporarily stop working on a Work Item and 'Resume' it when you work on it again. For example, assume you have two Work Item; Task T1 and a Workflow W1. When starting on T1 you start its timer. After a couple hours you need to switch to W1. You can either click on 'Pause' for the timer for T1 OR and then 'Start' the timer for W1 or you can directly click 'Start' the timer for T2 W1 which will automatically pause the timer for T1 automatically. When you need to switch back to working on T1, simply click 'PauseResume' the timer for T2 and 'Resume' the timer for T1. You can have multiple tasks open in the timer window. At any given point the "active" task timer will be displayed first with the time in Red. 
When you complete working on the task T1, click on 'Stop'. To create a time entry with the time spent on T1, simply click on 'Fill Time'. That opens up a update progress and time entry for T1 for the current date with the hours populated from the timer. You can choose to modify the pre-filled amount if you wish. After you fill the time, the timer for that task is reset. If you wish to remove the task from the timer list, please click on the delete icon next to it.
