Timers

Timers can be used to automate time recording.

Access to Timers is dependent on a configuration setting in Star PDM (see Timer preferences).

Available only to logged-in users who are posting their own time.

Not supported for Non-chargeable time where no Job or Client is required.

A Timer can be set running as soon as you select a Client or Job. When you have finished working, you can then stop the clock, add a Comment (optional), and click Send - this creates a new entry in your Timesheet with the recorded time and optional Comment populated automatically.

Time entries are converted from the timer's minutes and seconds to the appropriate hour or unit value, as pre-determined by system settings.

You can have as many timers on screen as you have Jobs to do, or are in progress. By creating individual Timers for each task, starting and stopping them as you turn your attention from one task to another, you can record time accrued on each task throughout the day.
