Using
the Time Ticket Timer
How Do I...
You can time an activity by using the timer.
- To start tracking
time for an activity, select the Start Timer
button. The
field will record the time in second intervals.
- To stop tracking
time for an activity, select the Stop Timer
button.
You can start the timer again to continue clocking the duration.
This is a good idea if you want to record multiple interruptions in the
activity, such as lunch or an unexpected phone call.
After the timer is stopped, you can manually change the duration, if
necessary.
Time Ticket Timer Restrictions
There are a few time ticket restrictions you should be aware of while
the timer is running.
- You cannot save the time ticket or close the Time Ticket window while the timer
is running.
- You cannot close this company or exit Sage 50
while the timer is running.
- You can only have one timer running on a workstation
at one time.
- If you are operating on a network,
other users will not be able to access a time ticket that is actively
running on your workstation. Likewise, no one else will be able to apply
the time-ticket hours to payroll or sales/invoicing.
Tip: If you need to
keep the timer running in the background while you perform other Sage 50
activities, you can minimize the window by selecting the Minimize
button in the upper-right corner of the window. To reduce the Time Ticket
window to an icon on your Sage 50 desktop, select the Minimize
button. To restore the window, double-click the Time
Ticket icon.
