This tip is aimed at those users who bother their head each time they need to enter time spent on performing a certain task. Now you can use the timer that will automatically calculate how long you have been working on the task. The only thing you'll have to do is turn on the timer with one mouse click.

Helpful Hints
What should I bear in mind?
Don't close the Start/Stop Timer window (tab) while performing a task, otherwise the timer won't count time you spend on it.
What if I forgot to start the timer and have been working on a task for some time?
If you have spent some time performing the current task, enter the corresponding value into the Manual Time Input field, add the description for this time period and click the
'Add Time' button. The entered time will be added to the task.
