Time Recording: Breaks
Intro
There are two options to apply “Breaks”:
• Option 1 with “Check-in, Check-out” is simpler to use.
• Option 2 with tasks is more powerful for reporting.
→ Also see “Automatic breaks”, this lets you automate entries for option 1.
→ Also see “Alarm settings”, alarms A3 and A4 can notify you when your break is over.
Option 1
“Check out” for break start, “Check in” for break end
→ Hint: Enable “Show break duration”
“Show break duration” detail settings
(1) Show “Total”: show cumulative break total
(2) Show “Block”: show worktime total of the preceding work units since previous break
(3) Show “Current break”: after checking out, and when worktime total is less than the configured time total, show a tentative “break” entry
(i.e. this is the on-going break)
(4) Ignore Break <= {total}: breaks less or equal than the given time total are excluded from break calculation (item 1 and 2)
→ Item 1 / 2 / 3 apply to “Day” view, item 4 aplies to “Day” and all other screens that show “Total break time” (e.g. “Week”, “Month”, report E3)
→ Item 2 and 4 are available since app version 7.89
Edit breaks
Use “Template” for default breaks
Break duration on reports
Option 2
“Switch task” with dedicated “Break” task
“Break” task applied - the “Total” does *NOT* include time for task “Break”
