The timer can be accessed at any time by clicking the clock button at the end of the main toolbar. ### The time keeping window This will open the time keeping window. This will list all of the time entries made on the system and allows you to start a timer. To start a timer, click "Start New Timer". ### The timer Now your new timer will start from the moment it is opened. If a timer is opened on a case page then that case will be automatically populated, if it is opened elsewhere then a case must be selected. It is also possible to configure the description and billing details of the time entry at this point. Once you are finished click "Save Time". This will close the window and save the entry, but the timer will continue to run in the background. ### Stopping a timer When a timer is running you can view it in the timekeeping window. To stop a timer click the pause button. Timers can be started and stopped at any time from this page. Each timer will be recorded in the relevant case's "Time" tab as a time entry. This allows users to start a timer when they begin work and stop it when they finish in order to accurately keep track of the hours worked by each user. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.agilecase.com/user-documentation/time-recorder.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
