How to Use Time Tracking In Azure DevOps Services

1. Locate timer button on an Azure DevOps Services work item

On the Backlog tab, select a required work item. A dialog window opens where you can view and edit the contents of the work item. You will see the Start timer button next to the title of the work item.

2. Start timer on a work item

Click the Start timer button and TMetric will start recording your Azure DevOps Services working time. Notice that the Start timer button changes to the Stop timer button and displays the time spent on the work item.

If you are the workspace owner or assigned admin in TMetric and start the timer for the first time, TMetric pulls out from Azure DevOps Services and adds to your TMetric workspace:

  • work item name
  • work item ID
  • project name

The corresponding time entry appears on the Time page in the TMetric web app. You can easily navigate back to the Azure DevOps Services work item simply by clicking the link icon next to the task name.

3. Edit time entry, if necessary

A time entry with an external task can be edited. You can edit the name of the task and change a project without losing a link to the Azure DevOps work item.

To disassociate the task from the Azure DevOps Services work item, click the cross icon next to the task name in the bottom right corner of the time entry editor.
