Time tracking configuration

Configuring the time tracking is quite easy, it only requires a few modifications of your board settings.

To set it up, go to Settings - Board Editor and edit the Lane types for each column.
3 lane types will trigger action for your timers.

• Queue / Waiting - idle columns in which the timer will pause
• In progress - a working column in which the timer will start
• Done - pulling cards into this column will stop the timer and remove it from the My Work list.

The columns for which you should set a lane type are the “doing” and “done” ones. Setting a lane type for them will let time tracking run seamlessly - without any additional actions on your part. All you will need to do is move cards through the process and the timer will start and stop itself.

You can apply the In Progress lane type to your “doing” column from the board editor:

Then modify your “done” column in the same fashion, setting its type to Done.

Set all remaining columns to Queue / Waiting if you wish for tasks to pause upon entering them.
You’re now ready to use Kanban Tool’s seamless time tracking!

Note, that you can always start timers manually too, regardless of a task location - just right-click it and select “Start timer”. Or, drag the task to an appropriate column for the timer to start.
