Screencasts

This screencast shows how you can create a new project, a new subproject and how to create a time entry for this project/subproject tuple.







Create new time entry

A new time entry can easily be entered by tapping the left toolbar button. The project and sub project to be used for this entry have to be allready present. On the following screen you can enter the project, the sub project and start and end times for the new time entry. You can also enter a pause time and a remark for the entry.
Creating a new project

A new project can be created on the projects page by tapping on the + button on the lower left. Doing this a project details page appears. You now have to enter a project name. Tapping on the save button will store the new project.
By tapping an the blue arrow button at left of a project cell you "dig into" the project and now are able to create sub projects.

Creating a new sub project

On the sub project page (the title show the name of the top project) you can now create sub projects like you do it on the projects page. Tap on the + button at the lower left and a new view appears where you can enter the name of the sub project. Tapping save will store your changes. A new sub project is created.

Automatic time tracking (start/stop function)

By tapping on the blue arrow button you will get into the sub project times sheet where you can track the times for your porject/sub project pair.

Starting and stopping times

In mytTimes it's possible to track time by simply starting and stopping times for a specific task. You can either track times by tapping start/stop on a sub poroject or on a time entry itself. If you press start on a sub project which dosn't have an active entry, a new time entry will be created and startet. This entry is now active and running. The start time for this entry is set to now. If you later press the stop button on the same project, the time is stopped. The stop time of the entry is set to now. There will be now running time entry for the specific sub project.
You can also start or stop times for a single time entry. Than the begin or end time is set to the current time.

Tracking times

On the times page you can create time entries. Tapping on the + button new view appears. In this times view you can set the start time, the end time, the pause and the remark for the time entry. The duration of the entry will be calculated. The duration is computed using the difference between start and end time minus the pause time.

Calendar view (day view)

For a clearly represented view of all time entries of a day you can use the calendar view. All time entries of a day will be presented in time sheet (as you now it from the iPhone calendar). By tapping on an entry you can edit or delete this item, or just view it's details.
