The Web Suite Timer is a stopwatch that is used to time activities and tasks. It tracks expended time automatically as you work. Timer remembers your data if you shut down the program or your computer loses power. Multiple timers can be open at one time and you can switch from one to another as needed. Web Suite asks if you want to stop one timer when you start a new one. As a timer runs, Web Suite rounds the time to 15 minutes or 0.25 hour increments. You can change these settings in the Global Settings-Time & Expense screen.
The Timer screen is divided into two tabs, More and Time.
Beep when timer reaches:
You can use this option to allow program to beep when the Timer reaches the time entered here by you in hours, for example, 1.5 Hours. Timer will beep to let you know about the elapsed time.
Adjusted Time:
When time is being recorded by the stopwatch, it gets filled in automatically. The time seen here is the adjusted time, after the smallest time increment is applied. Before logging the time to the Time Entry data table, you can manually change it here. Web Suite Timer gives you the ability to restart the Timer after the time has been adjusted.
For instance, you are recording time via the Timer and you are interrupted by a phone call and forget to stop the timer. Adjust the time using the Hours/Mins/Secs drop-downs (which are displayed when you click the Change Stopwatch link) and restart the timer.
