Setup and start using Activity Tracker Plus
“Timer” is a new feature that we integrated into Activity Tracker Plus 4.0. Think of timer as your stop watch or a count-up timer. Using timers you can do the following
- Track elapsed time since an activity or task took place. You can start a timer and see how long its been in active status. For example, how long its been since I was born? or how long its been since I last watered my plants?. Elapsed time in a timer is always displayed in Years Months Days Hours Minutes format
- Track hours for multiple activities or tasks. Unlike the default Toggle view, Timer view will allow more than one activity or task to be in working status at any given time. You have an option to add the elapsed time in a timer to your total working hours in your time logs or monthly summary.
From your activity list page, you can switch between timer view and toggle view using keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + V or by clicking Menu –> Timer/Toggle View
