Global Track Time Panel:

Global Track Time Panel displays all running timers as well as any time-entry records created. (Please note that technically a timer record is also a time-entry record with status as “Running”)

The panel can be opened by clicking the “Time Entry” button in the global ribbon.
This button will normally show up in off-white icon… However if there is any running timer then the color of icon would change to red (as shown in screenshot below).

The records in Track-Time panel can be filtered based on:
Period: Today / Yesterday / Last 3 days / Last 7 days / Last Week / Last Month / Last 30 days / Last 90 days / Last 180 days / Custom

Display Timers Only: Enabling this filter… will display only time-entries with status as “Running” (basically all timers).

User: This filter will allow  filtering time-entry / timer records by users. This option will be shown only if logged-in user has “Zap PSA Time Track – Admin” security role.

Various operations supported across “Track Time” panel are:

Copying an existing Time-Entry record to start a new Timer: To start a new Timer and have all details copied over…click the play button within a time-entry record…
