Tracking time: timer & manual entries
The Time Tracker is your home screen. Capture time live with the stopwatch or log it manually — always cleanly under customer, project and task.
Step by step
- 01
Choose a mode
In the timer bar at the top, toggle between “Timer” and “Manual”. Timer for work in progress, Manual for logging after the fact.
- 02
Pick project & task
Choose the project (grouped by customer) and the task. Add a description if you like.
- 03
Start & stop the timer
One click starts the stopwatch; the counter runs live and survives a page reload. Stopping saves the entry.
- 04
Or log it manually
In “Manual” mode you enter the start and end time directly. If the entry crosses midnight, a “+1” next to the end time marks the next day.
- 05
Set billability
Per entry, a toggle controls whether the time is billable. The default comes from the hierarchy but can be changed per entry.
- 06
Review & edit entries
The list groups entries by day; the strip on top shows totals for today, this week and this month. Click a row to open the edit dialog; further actions live in the ⋯ menu. Overlapping times are flagged.
Does a running timer survive a reload?
Yes. A running timer is stored locally and keeps running after a page reload.
What happens with overlapping times?
iXTime detects overlaps for the same person. On manual save and on timer start you are warned, and the start can be rejected when overlap prevention is enabled.
