Starting and Stopping Task Timers

Overview
Track actual work time by using the built‑in timer controls right in your task list—no external stopwatch needed.

Steps

1. In Work → Tasks, locate the task row.

2. Click the Play (▶) icon in the Hours Logged column to start timing.

3. While running, you’ll see a live timer counter.

4. Click the Pause (⏸) icon to stop. Your elapsed time logs automatically.

5. To resume, click Play again; to reset, edit the task’s time log manually.

Tips & Best Practices

• Start timers only when you begin focused work to maintain accuracy.

• Use the timer for small tasks (<2 hours); for longer work, consider manual time entries in Timesheet.

• Train team members to stop the timer before switching tasks.

Troubleshooting / FAQs

• Timer icon missing: Check that “Track Time” is enabled under Settings → Time Log Settings.

• Elapsed time not updating: Refresh the page or check your internet connection.

• Cannot pause: You need “Edit Time Logs” permission in your role.
