How can I see my interactive timers?
To see your interactive timers (that is, the ones that haven’t been saved yet), just click on Timers on the left hand side.

Can I pause an interactive timer?

Where can I see how much time was spent on a project?
To see how long has been spent on a project by everybody involved in it, click on Projects and select a project 1, then click on the tab Time 2.
In this screen, you are also able to filter by task list and/or user 3; this will allow you to create more detailed reports (for example, how long a task took or how long a specific person worked on a task, and so on).
