Brightpod has both manual and automatic timer time tracking options. You can record time manually for tasks and/or pods. When using the timer, the time must be associated to a task.  All team permission levels can track time manually, and only clients cannot use the automatic timer.

To manually add time to a specific task , it can only be done from within the task details:

To manually add time to a pod, there are 3 places: the global + option, in task details, or from a pod’s Time page.

If you are using the automatic timer, you must associate your time to a task and a pod. The automatic timer is available in the same 3 places: the global + option, in task details, or from a pod’s Time page.
