Tip # 10 - Manage all your timers with our Global Timer

If you ever want to manage the timers for all your tasks in one place, here's how to do that.

Where to find?

The Global Timer Widget is at the top right corner next to the Print icon. And you can view this timer widget from any page and manage your tasks and bugs timer.

What it does:

The Global Timer Widget in Zoho Projects shows all your active timers in one view. You can manage all the active timers for your tasks and bugs from a central location, which can be accessed from all the pages in Zoho Projects. You can start and stop timers for tasks or bugs from the Global Timer Widget without navigating to the respective task or bug view.

Access Privileges:

If you are an Admin for the project, you can monitor and view all the active timers for all the project users. Otherwise, you can view only your timer.

In addition, the Admin can remind the project users, about their active timers. And this notification from the Admin will be displayed as comments in the project Feeds of the user.

Client Users will not be able to view the Global Timer widget.

Note :

If you sign-out without stopping your timers, a warning message will be displayed with the list of active timers.

Post your comments as well as suggestions and reach out to support@zohoprojects.com for any help.

Thanks.
