Using the Timer

Add Time

On The Job is designed to be intuitive and easy to use right from the start. To start timing, all you have to do is create a new job in one of your clients, and add a new timing item either by using the menu items under the File menu or by clicking the “+” buttons located at the bottom of the window under the respective tables. Then just hit the play button!

Every time the timer is started, a new timing session is added. These sessions can later be viewed and modified by clicking on the "timing sessions" button in the item settings area.

If you want to quickly add time, or modify the duration of the last timing session, you can use the Quick Add or Quick modify buttons in the item settings area.

Double-clicking in the hours and date columns of a job item will have slightly different behavior depending on the state of the item. If the timer has never been run on an item, or has been run only once, double clicking will provide you with quick editors so you can easily change the values. If, however, an item contains multiple timing sessions, double clicking will cause the Timing Sessions window to open.
