Add a timer

This would be great. We switched to WF from other software that had that feature. It really is the only thing I miss about the old software. :)

I used it in another system and miss it. It was a wonderful feature for individuals needing to track time on tasks. You could load your current projects, or the projects you're working on that day, start/stop the timer app and could jump around through multiple projects while the timer recorder your workable time. There's a struggle now with getting users to log time "live" after working on tasks, and capturing the real amount of time it takes for said tasks.

This is something that just came up on our Team meeting.

Can this be voted on?

Anyone needing a quick work-around on a Mac might consider using Timer by Apimac:

I have no affiliation but I used this daily myself when I was working in Web QA. I had it attached to a keyboard shortcut (actually a dedicated set of X-Keys buttons) so I could quickly start and stop a main timer, and could spawn extra timers as needed.

We are really trying to find a solution like this but am having trouble. A lot of the integrations outside of WF have some pretty bad reviews. I am hoping we can bump this idea to see if WF is open to implementing.

Our team wants this too. Used to have it in a previous tool, Function Fox, and when migrated over to WF everyone really misses it! I think there are multiple ideas for this. @WF - can we combine into 1 to pool votes?

Hello to all Workfront users that are still missing a native task timer feature in the system.

We use Workfront for over 10 years now and since then staff is complaining because there is no task timer integrated.

One of our developers developed a Google Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tasktimr/eonllkkdpiadjpocfddnclhflaehdpda) to reduce the pain. Works fine for us as long as new releases of Workfront do not clash with our code - what happend with the last release again.

Therefore I really want to bring up the discussion again to the Workfront Product Team.

Maybe we can find some more voices!

Hello,

My coworkers and myself have been wishing for a Workfront native timer since we started 3 years ago. Our current time tracking process involves a 3rd party timer and manually transferring our time into our Workfront timesheets, projects, and/or requests. Unfortunately, this is a very redundant process and I do not think it reflects the Workfront mission of efficiency.

I understand developing a timer may be a difficult task as there are many ways to manage and build this out, but I believe a large amount of the Workfront community would appreciate the addition greatly. Especially those who are working production roles where they touch many different tasks in one day.

I have asked all of my coworkers with access to these forums to upvote this. I suggest anyone that wants this functionality to do the same.

Thanks!

I agree with the comments recently made below as well. Having moved over from a system where this was possible to Workfront where this is not currently available natively is a major sticking point for our team. We would appreciate a solution here that allows us to log more accurate time data, more efficiently via a timer.

Thank you!
