| Automatic and Manual |
Complete Time Tracking allows you to track your time automatically using a stop-watch time recorder or manually by entering the start time and end time or duration. Using a combination of the two is common as occasionally you need to manually enter previous time worked away from your computer such as meetings at the start or end of the day.
Our focus is on making time tracking easy. The compact main window is the heart of time tracking and provides easy access to configuring categories, editing recorded time, and generating reports.

|
| Continuous Time Recording |
| Continuous time recording allows you to simply switch between categories in automatic time tracking mode without having to stop and restart the timer. Time will automatically stop recording on the original category and start recording on the new category. |
| Instant Access |
With the unique window hiding feature in Complete Time Tracking tracking your time has never been easier. Complete Time Tracking provides immediate access to the time tracking window without obscuring other windows and without mouse clicks. The window hides off the edge of your screen, automatically showing itself when you move the mouse over it and hiding again when the mouse is moved away.
The time tracking window shows you at a glance the category that you are tracking time to, the current time, recorded start time, duration, income earned in real-time (if an hourly rate is set for the category), and the total time worked on the current day. You can also log work notes with the time and track work progress.
Automatic time tracking is as simple as 1 2 3:
- Move the mouse over the hide location to show the time tracking window.
- Select a new category using the popup category menu.
- Move the mouse away to hide the window and continue working.
The time tracking window shows the following items at a glance: Current time, start time and end time, duration of currently recording time or total duration for the current day and Income earned, updated in real time.

| Adjust Recording Time |
If you forget to start time tracking when you commence work on a category then this feature enables you to adjust the start time easily.
 |
|
The adjust time window allows you to easily change the start time after time recording has started. |
|
| Edit Recorded Time |
Previously recorded time can be edited simply and quickly. The category, user (Professional edition), start and end time, duration, hourly rate, percentage complete and work notes can all be edited.
Time gaps and overlaps can be easily identified and corrected.
The edit recorded time window allows you to adjust previously recorded time.
Note: User selection shown in this screenshot is only available in the Professional edition of Complete Time Tracking when logged in as a user with security access to view recorded time for all users. |

| Add Notes |
You can add work notes to the time recorded and set percent complete progress. When a category is marked as 100% complete it can be automatically hidden from selection.
 |
|
The screenshot on the left shows the work notes and progress. |
The selected category, time notes and category percent complete are recalled at your next time tracking session, allowing you to easily continue your work notes and update progress.
