Creating a task
After logging in to your TimeCamp Dashboard choose Manage tasks from Tasks menu.
To create a new task, click on Add task button.
You'll need to fill out a quick form. Enter task's name.
Choose keywords
The next and most important step is to enter keywords. Those words should be directly connected to your task.
The best examples of keywords are:
- client's name - if you want to know exactly how much time you spend one particular client
- project's name
- name of the application used when you're working on a project.
TimeCamp will automatically detect if chosen keyword appears in window's title, url address or in the name of used application. Our system will assign the time to created task.
