Adding and Managing Time Tracker Entries from a Dataform

You can add and manage Time Tracker entries from the Action Center of any dataform where time tracking has been enabled in the dataform properties.

Note:

You can also add a Time Tracker entry from the Time Tracker module dashboard which displays a list of time tracking entries (i.e., time records). For more details, also see Time Tracker Module Dashboard.
If you have an "in progress" time tracking record, the Time Tracker Stopwatch icon in the upper right corner of the ClientSpace menu bar changes from blue to red once you click Refresh on your browser to update the Stopwatch icon color.

You can click it to view a list of the last ten time tracking records associated with your user name. The first record in the list is the record with the active, running timer on it. Click on an item to open the record associated with the time tracking record. From there, you can view time tracking record in the Action Center where you can stop/start a timer or open the time tracking record and make additional changes. See Time Tracker Stopwatch.
