Adding and Accessing Timers

Timers can be added, or accessed, either:

  • From the Menu Bar - to add new Timers for specific Clients/Jobs that are not represented in your Favourites or History, or to manage existing Timers.
  • From your Favourites - to add or start an instant Timer for a Client or Job saved in your Favourites.
  • From your History - to add or start an instant Timer for a specific Client or Job you have already worked on.

The History option could be useful if, for instance, you need to record the duration of a phone conversation. If the call is regarding a Tax issue, then the appropriate Job can be selected on the Timer and a descriptive Comment entered, a record of the call can then be entered from the Timer into the Timesheet.

If only the Client is recorded, then any other required fields must be entered on the Timesheet line before it will pass validation.

Whichever access option you choose, a Timers window is displayed.
