New @ Laurel: Timer Integration, Work Code Assignment & More...

Hi there,

We're thrilled to introduce our latest features, find out more below.

⏲️ Timer Integration

This feature allows you to start and monitor timers directly within your entries, making the process seamless.

Starting a timer

1. Start a timer directly within your entry: When creating or editing an entry, after you've selected your initiative, click 'Start Timer'.

2. Start a new timer from the initiative header: Click the icon on the initiative header to start a new timer.

Stopping a timer

Once you're finished, pause or stop the timer by clicking 'Stop Timer'. Whether you're in the edit mode of an entry or glancing through the list view, a single click is all it takes.

View and filter your timed entries
Once you pause or stop the timer, the details are instantly recorded in the History panel. For a focused overview, use the filter option to exclusively see your timer activities.

Here's what you need to know:

• Duration adjustments are currently limited to the billing increment.
• If a timer is active when you close an entry, it will continue to run. Click 'Stop Timer' to pause it without going back into the entry.
• To start the same timer again, click into the entry and click 'Start Timer'.
• Once paused, the timer details will show up in your History panel.
• For quick access, start a new timer using the button in the initiative header.
