Time Rounding Options

When committing timer hours, you can have the system automatically round up to the nearest increment:

OptionEffectExample
No roundingExact time is logged7 min = 0.12 hrs
5 minutesRound up to 5-min increments7 min = 0.17 hrs (10 min)
10 minutesRound up to 10-min increments7 min = 0.17 hrs (10 min)
15 minutesRound up to 15-min increments7 min = 0.25 hrs (15 min)
30 minutesRound up to 30-min increments7 min = 0.50 hrs (30 min)
60 minutesRound up to 1-hour increments7 min = 1.00 hrs (60 min)

Rounding always rounds up to ensure all tracked time is captured.

  • Hours: The decimal hours added when clicked (e.g., 0.25, 1.0, 2.0)

Common configurations:

  • Quick increments: 15m (0.25), 30m (0.5), 1h (1.0)
  • Meeting-based: 30m (0.5), 1h (1.0), 2h (2.0)
  • Task-based: 1h (1.0), 2h (2.0), 4h (4.0)
