# Logging time with a timer

Starting the timer via Start on the task panel begins counting; the duration progresses in the top bar and is logged to the task when you press Stop. Each person has only one active timer.

- Project manager

- Project Member

## Steps

- Open the task's panel.

- In the Time section, click ▶ Start 1.

- The counter appears in the top bar with the task name and elapsed time 2; click Stop there when you finish your work.

> Result: Duration is rounded to the nearest minute (minimum 1 minute) and saved, and a '… saved.' notification appears.

> Tip: If you press Start on another task, the running timer saves the elapsed time up to that point, stops, and starts a new one. The timer continues on the server even if you close the page.
