The Add Entry dialog is where you make new entries into a unitlist.

You can get to this dialog two ways:

1) Calling it up directly via Add Antry - Add Entry

2) Including timing information via Add Entry - Record Entry.

 

Add Entry

To add a new entry to the list, click Add Entry - Add Entry.

 

 

Date

Enter the date here, the default is the current date.

 

Value

Enter a decimal work value here; you can even use values like 1,12345 (or 1.12345, depending on your local settings).

 

Offset

Enter an offset that will be added to or subtracted from the entered value. Just type - before the number for negative values.

 

Subtract

If checked, the value entered will be subtracted from the other values in your list.

If unchecked, it will be added.

 

Add to templates

If checked, the entry will be added to the entry templates.

 

Summary

Enter a short summary that describes this entry. If you have enabled summary autocompletion (see Manage Project/Autocomplete), previously saved summaries will be suggested.

 

Details

Here you can enter any details you like about the entry. If you have enabled Details Snippets, pressing Ctr-Space will open a list of available snippets to enter.

 

Add more

If checked, clicking Add to List will not close the dialog, but reset all fields and allow you to add another entry.

 

 

Templates

Click the Templates tab to see a list of your previously saved entry templates.

Double-click any entry to put its values directly into the Add Entry tab! This is a super quick way of making it easy to enter often-used entries.

 

 

Record Entry

If you're just starting a period of work, you can have Keeping Time look on the clock for you.

Choose Add Entry - Record Entry and the Timer will open. If you hold Shift while clicking Record Entry, the timer will start automatically.

 

 

Value

Enter the value you want your entry to have in the field to the right of the summary. You can of course change this later, too!

 

Start/Stop

Press the Start button and the timer will start. Click Pause to stop the timer, or click Commit to close the timer.

The timer information will be entered into the Details field in the list.

Enter the Summary for the time in the text field in the middle. You can leave this empty and add it later!

You can click the Expand button to enter information for the Details field. Again, you can leave this empty.

Note that in this mode, when the Timer is connected to the Unitlist, additional features as described in Timer are not available.

 

Add Entry

Once you're done working, click Pause and the Commit button on the far right (or click Commit directly). This will open an Add Entry dialog (see above), with the recorded time already filled out for you.
