Once you open the Add Time Tracking: Start pop-up window, you can enter the required details:

  • The user associated with the time tracking event

  • The start date and time of the time tracking event

  • The type of event being record by the time tracker

  • Any notes associated with the event being recorded

Once you are satisfied with the data entered, click the Add button to add the time tracking. This will create an ongoing time tracking event.

If you need to stop an ongoing time tracking event, please see the Stop Time Tracking page for more information on how to accomplish this task.
