We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated Timer feature in our Timetracker app!
With the simple press of a button, users can now start and stop timers, enabling precise time measurement for each task or issue. The timer is available on the Timeline and Issue screens.
Using the Timer on the Timeline
Measure your work by starting the timer
You can switch to this mode using a toggle button on the timeline, which is available next to today's input field. You can “Start” the timer with the play button, then use "Stop" to stop it and create the worklog. Using the "X" (Reset) button, you can stop a running timer without creating a worklog.
The Timeline offers additional flexibility. Users can start a timer without associating it with a specific issue or any other data. This functionality serves as a quick logging tool, helping you record time spent even when details are pending.
With a running timer, you can still record worklogs manually
In the case of a running timer, it is still possible to record the worklog manually, users just need to switch back to manual mode using the mode switch button. Meanwhile, the started timer continues to measure time in the background, and users can switch it back to timer mode at any time.
You can continue your previous work
Another convenient function is that you can start a timer with the data of an already existing worklog. In this case, the Issue, Description, Billing status and Tag of the existing worklog will be selected for the newly created worklog, and the timer will start.
How to Use the Timer on Issue Pages
Users can start a timer on any Issue as well. If a timer is started on one issue, it remains visible when navigating to other issues or on the Timeline. This allows users to conveniently stop the timer and log the work from any issue page.
General operation and restrictions
A user can start and run only one timer at a time.
In order to create a worklog, the stopwatch must run for at least 1 minute. This requirement ensures that time logs accurately represent meaningful work intervals, maintaining a high level of data accuracy.
The timer operates with a maximum duration of 24 hours. After reaching this threshold, the timer will automatically stop. This restriction prevents timers from running indefinitely.
We hope you'll find these updates useful and enjoyable. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to us.
Stay tuned for more updates!
