About Timers Preferences
The Timers window has a list of active timed slips and lets you start and stop the timer for any of those slips. The behavior of the Timers window can be customized by choosing Billings > Preferences and clicking Timers.
Here, you can customize how you wish to display duration. You can specify if you want to pause the timer when your computer goes to sleep. This makes sure that Billings stops timing your active slips when you are not working.
You can select whether you want to allow only one running timer at a time. Billings can also detect when you have been away from your computer for certain amount of time. You can specify a threshold value which is the minimum number of minutes Billings should wait before alerting you that you were idle. You may set up Billings to do one of the following as the next course of action.
- Warn you and let you choose whether to continue timing
- Pause running timers
- Continue timing
