Overview
Use Laywork’s built‑in timer to automatically record how long you spend on each task—no manual entry required.
How to Start a Timer
Go to Work > Tasks.
Find the row for your task.
Click Start Timer in that row.
The timer will begin counting until you stop it or switch to another task.
How to Stop or Switch Timers
To stop: click Stop Timer on the same task row (or via the floating timer control).
To switch: simply click Start Timer on a different task; the previous timer stops automatically.
Tips
Only one timer can run at a time per user.
If you forget to stop, you can always trim or delete the entry later in Timesheet view.
