Visit timers allow you to automatically capture time spent onsite and avoid time-consuming manual entry.
To use the timer, open a visit and click the “start timer” button.
Once you start a timer, others can see in the “time spent” section that a timer has been started for a given user and what time it was started.
When the visit is done, you can click “stop timer” to end the timer. Marking a visit complete will also end all timers on that visit. Once the timer has been stopped, you can edit or delete the hours from the “time spent” section.
A user can only have one timer running at a time. For example, if you have a timer running on Visit A, then starting a timer on Visit B will automatically stop the timer on Visit A.

After stopping the timer, you can also edit and hours that were entered if you stopped or started the timer at the wrong time.
