Timers & Labels

Before work becomes a Time Log, GreenVee gives you two ways to capture it: a live running clock (the Active Timer) and, once stopped, a historical Timer record. Time Tracking Labels then let you tag logged time for filtering and reporting.

Active Timer

The Active Timer is the live, running clock you start from the Time Tracking page. It is synced across all of your devices, so starting a timer on your phone shows it running on your laptop too.

Field	What it stores
Started at	The exact moment the timer was started
Date	The calendar date the timer belongs to
Start time	The time of day the timer was started

Only one Active Timer runs per person at a time — starting a new one replaces whatever was running. While it runs, the elapsed time ticks up live on screen.

Timer

When you stop the Active Timer, GreenVee writes a Timer record — a stopped, historical entry with a fixed start and end time.

Field	What it stores
Date	The date the timer ran on
Start time	When the timer was started
End time	When the timer was stopped

Timers are listed on the Time Tracking page until you deal with them: convert one into a Time Log (optionally attaching it to an existing log for the same day), or delete it if it was a mistake.

For Field Workers

Start the Active Timer when work begins, stop it when you finish — you don’t need to remember start times later. Once stopped, use “New time log from timer” to turn it into a proper Time Log, or add it to a Time Log you already started that day.

Active Timer (running)  →  stop  →  Timer (stopped, historical)  →  Time Log

Time Tracking Label

A Time Tracking Label is a colored tag that can be applied to Time Logs for categorization.

Field	What it stores
Title	Label text (e.g. “Travel”, “Billable”, “Internal”)
Color	A color for visual identification
Description	Optional free-text note about what the label is for

Labels are many-to-many — one Time Log can carry multiple labels, and one label can appear on many logs. They are used for filtering and reporting (e.g. “show me all travel time this month”).
