Has anyone figured out how to incorporate a timer?

WylieMcCoy

My team is used to entering their time into Harvest which has a desktop timer. They start it when they begin a task and stop it when they are done. Although I've been told and read Smartsheet doesn't have a timer, I did find reference to one on Smartsheet's website. https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2481036-track-time-on-day-view#toc-use-the-timer Has anyone used it? And/or has anyone found a work around?

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

I've developed client solutions with the help of helper sheets to track the duration with one or multiple start and stops.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Best,

If I understand what you're asking for correctly, I think this functionality already exists. It is, however, very difficult to find.

• Go to rm.smartsheet.com/me and select Time & Expenses
• Switch to Day view - This is the really unintuitive part.
• Add the task you want to add the time to. It now looks like this
  
  

Now hover your mouse cursor over the area to the left of the time box (where mine says 2.0) - This is the really really really unintutive part. Enjoy your new timer!
