  1. Features

Smart Time Entry

When entering times in an event block, Ontime allows some shortcuts

Note
Entry
Result

You can use the h m s keywords to facilitate time input

10h10s

10:00:10

Ontime accepts . , : and spaces as separators between hh:mm:ss

0.1 0 1 0:1 0,1

00:00:01

The keyword p returns the end time of the previous event

p

(if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) 09:00:00

Starting a time entry with a + sign, adds the time to the previous event

+10:10

(if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) 09:10:10

A single numeric field is read as minutes

10

00:10:00

Two numeric fields are read as minutes:seconds

1.2

00:01:02

Tree numeric fields are read as hours:minutes:seconds

1.2.3 1 2 3 1:2:3 1,2,3

01:02:03

When not using separators, ontime tries to infer

1 12 123 1234 12345 123456

00:01:00 00:12:00 01:23:00 12:34:00 12:34:05 12:34:56

Any time overflow is considered

0.120

00:02:00 (120 seconds)

0 append is not necessary

2.2.2 2 2 2 2:2:2 2,2,2

02:02:02

You can use a separator as short for 0

10: or :10

10:00:00 or 00:10:00
