Using the Timer
The Timer allows you to track time from anywhere in Kantata OX without leaving the page you're on or disrupting your workflow. To begin, simply click the Timer icon from the main app bar.
You can pause and restart the Timer by clicking on it. If you don't pause the timer, it will continue to track time even when you sign out of Kantata OX, change browsers, or switch devices.
Users with Punch Clock account permissions are only able to start the Timer. They then must log any accumulated time against a Project and Task before they can restart the timer.
If you’re on the go, you can also access the Timer from your mobile device.
