Using the Timer to Track Time

Time tracking lets you track the hours you and other employees work. You can enter the hours worked manually, use the NetSuite time calculator, or use the NetSuite Timer.

You can use the Timer to time your break or to time your entire day's work.

If you use the Timer, you cannot navigate away from the Time Tracking page and the Timer popup window. If you do, the Timer is stopped and NetSuite does not save the elapsed time.

Using the Timer for your Break

To use the Timer for your break:

  1. Go to Transactions > Employees > Track Time.

  2. Enter the time tracking details as appropriate.

  3. Next to the Duration field, click the Timer icon.

  4. When the Timer popup window appears, click Start when your break begins.

  5. Click Stop when your break is over.

  6. Click Submit.

    The elapsed time automatically appears in the Break field. NetSuite rounds down to the nearest minute. For example, if the Elapsed Time field says 0:03:55, 0:03 appears in the Duration field.

  7. Fill in any additional information, and then click Save.

You can also use the Timer to time your entire day's work, rather than your break.

Using the Timer for an Entire Day’s Work

To use the Timer for an entire day's work:

  1. Go to Transactions > Employees > Track Time.

  2. Enter the time tracking details as appropriate.

  3. Next to the Duration field, click the Timer icon.

  4. When the Timer popup window appears, click Start when you begin working.

  5. Click Pause when you take a break.

  6. Click Start again when you come back from your break.

  7. Click Stop when you finish working.

  8. Click Submit.

    The elapsed time automatically appears in the Duration field. NetSuite rounds down to the nearest minute. For example, if the Elapsed Time field says 0:03:55, 0:03 appears in the Duration field.

  9. Fill in any additional information, and then click Save.

Using the Timer, NetSuite tracks your hours for you so you do not have to enter them manually.
