In today’s fast-paced world, knowing where your time goes is crucial for maximizing productivity and achieving your goals. That’s why we’re excited to highlight a fantastic feature within ProLaw Workspace: the built-in Timer!

Forget juggling external timers or trying to mentally calculate how long you’ve been working on a task. Workspace offers a seamless and intuitive way to track your time directly within the platform where you’re already working. This simple yet powerful tool can provide valuable insights into your work habits and help you become more efficient.

 

Ready to take control of your time? Here’s how to use the Timer feature in Workspace:

Getting Started: Showcasing the Timer

First things first, let’s bring the Timer into view. Look towards the top of your Workspace screen, to the left of your logged-in name. You’ll see a discreet Show timer button (it might look something like a small clock icon). Click it! This will make the Timer controls appear on your screen.

Controlling Time: Your Timer Toolkit

Once the Timer controls are visible, you’ll find a set of handy buttons to manage your time tracking:

  • Start the Clock: Click the Play timer button (usually a triangle pointing right) to begin tracking the time you dedicate to a specific task.
  • Take a Break: Need to pause your work? Simply click the Pause timer button (often represented by two vertical lines). The timer will stop, and you can resume whenever you’re ready.
  • Fresh Start: If you’re beginning a new task or need to discard the current tracked time, click the Reset timer button (typically a circular arrow) to set the timer back to zero.
  • Keep it Concise: Once you’ve started a timer, you might want to minimize the controls. Click the Hide timer button to tuck it away without stopping the tracking.
  • Dive Deeper: Expanding the Time Entry For more control and the ability to log your time, click the Expand timer button (it might look like an expanding arrow or a plus sign). This will stop the current timer and open the Time Entry window.ProLaw Workspace Timer Controls

Fine-Tuning Your Time in the Expanded View:

The expanded Time Entry window gives you even more precision:

  • Manual Adjustments: Need to tweak the time? Use the Up and Down arrows to manually increase or decrease the hours and minutes displayed on the timer.
  • Direct Input: For even quicker adjustments, click the Enter time button. This will likely allow you to directly input the desired time.
  • Saving Your Efforts: Once you’ve accurately recorded the time spent and filled in any other required fields (like task descriptions or project codes), be sure to click the Save button to log your time entry.
