Getting Started

Focus TimeTracker allows you to track your time spent on different projects and optionally upload these changes to an external system such as JIRA.

Basic Concepts

To get started you need to understand a few basic concepts:

• Customer: A customer is the top level grouping for all your time records.

• Project: Every customer has 0-many projects.

• Task: A project contains 0-many tasks.

• Timer: A stopwatch that tracks your time.

• Time recording: Once you stop the timer, a new time record will be saved along with a description of what you did. A time recording always belongs to a Task.

• Time rounding / normalization: A customer or project can specify a time rounding which will be applied before saving a time recording.

  For example, if you configure a 15 minute rounding, then a time recording of 10:07-11:40 will be rounded to 10:00-11:45.

  Time Rounding can be configured in the customer attributes:
