How to Record Time
There are two methods for recording activities:
- Automatic Recording: Use a stopwatch to record time. When you press the start button, the start and end times are recorded automatically. This is ideal for when you are about to begin an activity.
- Manual Input: Enter the start and end times manually to record them.
Automatic Recording Method
Tap the recording menu at the bottom left to display the recording screen.
Select the category you want to record. Choose from the icon list the one you want to record. (If the category you want is not available, you can add it using the “+” button.)
Tap the “Start Recording” button.
Recording will begin automatically. The elapsed time will be reflected in the time table at the bottom of the screen.
To zoom in or out on the time table, double-tap on the time table. The scale will switch between three levels.
To end the recording, tap the “Stop Recording (Wasting Time)” button. Pressing the stop button will automatically record the work time. (Note: It may take about a minute for the record to be reflected.)
If you want to finish the current task and move to another task, tap the “Switch Task” button.
