Advanced Keywords

For each project you can assign a Keywords (e.g. id, date, name). Sometimes, however, it is not enough to properly configure the task/project switching with standard keyword.

For this purpose, were introduced Advanced Keywords or Metatags.

How to use it?

To apply this mechanism just enter the appropriate marker before keyword, e.g.:

Marker list

[+]

Mandatory: The task will not be selected if all of its mandatory keywords are not detected, e.g.:

  • [+]Poster, 2011

Application will select this task only when in the window title, or in the application name the word Poster can be found (occurrence of the string "2011" togeter with the word Poster will "ensure" TimeCamp, that this task should be selected).

[1+]  At least one of these keywords must be detected to start task.
[-]

Negative: The task will not be selected if any of its negative keywords is detected, e.g.:

  • Poster, [-]sketch

TimeCamp will select this task when the word Poster occurs in the window title, but only if there won't be any sketch word.

[0]

Weak: By default when TimeCamp can't match any new task with keywords, it will continue to track time for last detected task (for about 20 sec, it can be configured in settings).

But there are activities (applications, websites) at which we usually finish work on a task and we want TimeCamp to select no task after them. To do this use weak keyword, e.g.:

  • [+]Poster, [+][0]mail.google.com

These keywords will select the task when words Poster and mail.google.com occurs in window title (or URL in browser). However, TimeCamp will immediately switch to no task when report window will be closed, and in the next activity won't appear in any of the defined keywords
