<para>&karm; tracks time spent on various tasks. It is useful for tracking
|
|
billable hours and can report the hours logged by task and day.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This time history can be exported to a comma-delimited text file for
|
|
import into other billing and/or project management tools.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&karm; detects when your keyboard and mouse are idle and can associate
|
|
different tasks with different desktops, two tools that can help keep the
|
|
timer running on the correct task.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&karm; was originally written by Sirtaj Singh Kang. The word
|
|
<quote>karm</quote> means <quote>work</quote> or <quote>deeds</quote> in the
|

author's native Punjabi and is the same word (but a better transliteration)
|

as <quote>karma</quote>.</para>

<informalexample>
|
|
<para><emphasis>Problem:</emphasis> You are a free software consultant with
|
|
many clients. Some clients have multiple projects. During the course of a
|
|
day, you switch back and forth between different projects. You need to track
|
|
your time to generate monthly invoices.</para>
|
|
<para><emphasis>Solution:</emphasis> Create one top-level task for each client
|
|
and a subtask for each client project. For projects that require more
|
|
detailed tracking, create a list of project subtasks. Track time by
|
|
double-clicking on task you are currently working on.</para>
|
|
</informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>&karm; provides great flexibility in tracking your time, allowing
|
|
unlimited tasks and task depth. Time may be logged to any task, and more than
|
|
one task can be active at any given time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To create a top-level task, select
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<shortcut>
|
|
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>
|
|
</shortcut>
|
|
<guimenu>Task</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>
|
|
|
|
To create a subtask, pick the parent task and select
|
|
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<shortcut>
|
|
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>
|

</shortcut>
|
|
<guimenu>Task</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>New Subtask</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When &karm; exits, the task list is saved to the file specified in
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure KArm</guimenuitem>

|

<para><emphasis>Problem:</emphasis> To remain solvent, you must bill an
|
|
average of five hours a day. To stay on track, you watch your daily and

weekly totals.</para>

|
|
beginning of each work day and reset all timers at the beginning of each
|
|
week.</para> </informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>&karm; makes tracking time simple. To start logging time against a
|
|
task, double-click on the task. To stop logging time, double-click
|
|
the task again. Active tasks display a small clock in the <guilabel>Session
|
|
Time</guilabel> column.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Another visual clue of logging activity is the &karm; system tray icon.
|
|
When a task is active, the second hand in the icon moves. If you rest the
|
|
mouse pointer over this icon, the name of the active task will display in a
|
|
tooltip. If more than one task is active, the task names in the tooltip are
|
|
separated by commas.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&karm; maintains two timers for each task: one for the session time
|
|
and one for the total time. In the default configuration, &karm; displays
|

two columns for each timer, resulting in a total of four columns for each task:</para>

date range, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). All subsequent rows list the

time logged against each task. The last numeric column is the row total

to indicate the task/sub-task relationship. Top level task names appear
