Time rounding is a practice used to simplify and standardize recorded time values by adjusting them to a specific interval or increment.

This is often done to make timekeeping and calculations more manageable.

You can configure the rounding interval and choose how you want to round time entries in your settings:

1. Click on ‘Settings.

2. Select ‘Time Tracking.’

3. Choose from the following rounding methods:

    • Round to Nearest: With this option, when rounding time to the nearest 15-minute increment, we will round 20 minutes down to 15 or 25 minutes up to 30. For example, if you record a task that took 20 minutes, it will be rounded down to 15 minutes, and if you record a task that took 25 minutes, it will round up to 30 minutes.
    • Round Up to Nearest: Alternatively, if you choose ‘Round Up to Nearest,’ both time entries of 20 and 25 minutes will be rounded up to 30 minutes.

If you want to change the time or other information in a timer, you can do it in the My Timers section (whether in Daily or Weekly view).

  1. Find a timer you want to make changes to.
  2. Click on any textual element in the timer to open entry form.
  3. Then make the changes you want and save.

 Increasing the entered time

As an example, your entered time is 1:30. If you want to add 30 more minutes, you should type in 2:00 (not 0:30), that is, the total amount of time related to the timer.

Reducing the entered time

As an example, you have initially entered 2:20 for a task. If you estimate that the real spent time is 10 minutes shorter, you should enter 2:10, that is, the total amount of the time related to the timer.

Changing the date

If you change the date, all the data you’ve entered into the timer will be completely transferred to the newly chosen date.

Click UPDATE and the changes will be saved.

You can also delete timers through this form.

You only need to hover over or click on the timer and all options will be shown.

Where is the tracked time data stored
