Using the Timer

Timers 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 'Pause' for the timer for T1 and then 'Start' the timer for W1 or you can directly click 'Start' the timer for W1 which will automatically pause the timer for T1. When you need to switch back to working on T1, click 'Resume' for the timer for T1.

You can have only one 'active' (ticking) timer at a time and is indicated in Red. To add time click on fill time icon. This will open an Update Progress & Time window with the time pre-filled. You can modify the hours if required. After you fill time the timer for that Work Item is reset. To remove the Work Item from the list click on 'Delete' icon.
