How to round the final time
In zistemo, Projects have an option titled “Automatic adjustment of the time”. This means that if you will log hours on a specific project through the timer, the time will be rounded up. Please note that manual time entries won’t be rounded.
Mark this checkbox and choose the adjustment you prefer:
You have 6 options:
– “To the next 5 min” – time will be rounded to: h:05, h:10, h:15, h:20, h:25, h:30, h:35, h:40, h:45, h:50, h:55, h:00. For example, if the timer logged 1:12 – it will be saved as 1:15, 1:34 -> 1:35, 1:47 ->1:50, etc.
– “To the next 10 min” – time will be rounded to: h:10, h:20, h:30, h:40, h:50, h:00. For example: 1:12 -> 1:20, 1:34 -> 1:40, 1:47 ->1:50, etc.
– “To the next 15 min” – time will be rounded to: h:15, h:30, h:45, h:00. For example: 1:12 -> 1:15, 1:34 -> 1:45, 1:47 ->2:00, etc.
– “To the next 20 min” – time will be rounded to: h:20, h:40, h:00. For example: 1:12 -> 1:20, 1:34 -> 1:40, 1:47 -> 2:00, etc.
– “To the next 30 min” – time will be rounded to h:30 or h:00. For example: 1:12 -> 1:30, 1:34 ->2:00, 1:47 -> 2:00, etc.
– “To the next full hour” – time will be rounded to next full hour. For example: 1:12 -> 2:00, 1:34 -> 2:00, 1:47 -> 2:00.
When you will work on a project that has the adjustment on the timer activated, you will always see a note about it:
IMPORTANT: If you will save the time log, the actual time will be displayed in the timesheet table (without rounding).
However, it will be rounded in the invoice that you will generate for this project (read more on “how to generate an invoice” here)
For instance, the time for the above project will be invoiced as it follows:
Round time when timer is on pause
By default all time logs will be rounded, even if you just pause the timer. But for some projects it might be good if the pause won’t be rounded. Because of that, you can now deactivate that feature when creating a project where you set automatic adjustment of time.
Further, you can decide each time if you pause a time if you want that time to be rounded or not. The checkboxes will be active or not, based on the settings you made on that project.
