Adding a timer entry

Time tracking items store the main information about your time tracking event, such as the name of the project/service, the rate at which you are billing for your time and the bookkeeping account you are using to track the sale of your time.

The timer entry is what tracks the time you spent on a task that you performed for the project. Timer entries are stored in the details of the time tracking item.

To add a new timer entry:

  1. Click the Items tab to open the Items List.

  2. Click Time Tracking tab to open the Time Tracking List.

  3. Create a new Time Tracking Item if this is your first time tracking time for a project/service, or if you are already tracking time under an item, click the View link under the Action column for that item. Show me

  1. In the description box, type in a description of how you are using your time for this entry.

This description will not appear on the invoice.

  1. Click Start.

The timer will appear and display your start time and the description.

  1. When you have completed your task, click Stop.

The time spent will be recorded. For multiple entries per item, the total duration of time spent will be added up for you and the total time spent will be added to the invoice.

  

Note: You can sign out of your WorkingPoint account and your timer will still continue to track time for you. This is helpful if you need to step away from your computer to complete your task and you want to log out for security.
