Time Tracker can be used to measure the time you need to complete a task, whether the task is made on the task menu or the task outside the task. You can enter calculated times using the timer or enter them manually using Manual Time Entry.

Here are the steps:

A. Using Timers

  1. Enter the Company Menu.
  2. Click "Tasks".

    Important
    The timer can automatically run if your HR applies a timer rule that automatically starts when you clock-in and automatically stops when you clock-out. Make sure you are aware of the policies provided by your company.

  6. Then the task progress information will appear as follows. The "Clock" icon in the Time column indicates that the time calculation for completing the task uses a timer.
