To enter units using the timer

The timer is displayed on activity slips for hourly activities only.

1. Click the Start button. If you haven't entered a start time in the Start Time field, your computer's current system time appears in the Start Time field and the timer begins ticking in the Elapsed Time field. The Start button becomes the Stop button.

If you've entered a start time that is before the current system time, the difference will be added to the elapsed time measured by the timer.

2. Leave the Enter Activity Slip window open to allow the timer to progress in the Elapsed Time field as you perform the activity.
3. Click the Stop button when you've completed the activity. The timer stops ticking and the current system time appears in the Stop Time field. The elapsed time is entered automatically in the Units field. The Stop button becomes the Start button.

You can edit the start and stop times, if you want. The entries in the Units and Elapsed Time fields will be updated automatically.

4. Click the Start button again if you want to resume timing an activity. The entries in the Units and Stop Time fields will be cleared. The timer will continue ticking, starting from your current elapsed time.
5. Follow steps 3 and 4 until you've finished timing the activity.
