How to Use Time Tracking In Pivotal Tracker

1. Locate timer button on a Pivotal Tracker story

On the Stories tab, select a required story. A dialog window opens where you can view and edit the contents of the story. You will see the Start timer button on the right side of the window.

2. Start timer on a story

Click the Start timer button and TMetric will start recording your Pivotal Tracker working time. Notice that the Start timer button changes to the Stop timer button and displays the time spent on the story.

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

story name
story ID
project name
labels

Labels are mapped to the tags existing in the TMetric workspace. If the Allow creating tags on a fly option is enabled in the TMetric workspace, then the labels are automatically created.

The corresponding time entry appears on the Time page in the TMetric web app. You can easily navigate back to the Pivotal Tracker story simply by clicking the link icon next to the task name (in our case ID is #152195741).

3. Edit time entry, if necessary

A time entry with an external task can be edited. You can edit the name of the task, change a project and labels without losing a link to the Pivotal Tracker issue.

To disassociate the task from the Pivotal Tracker story, click the cross icon next to the task name in the bottom right corner of the time entry editor.
