Watch it find the job, time a meeting and put the day's hours in order. Every step has a caption and a voice-over.
Open a job in Inventor and the clock starts. Move between parts, assemblies and a drawing, switch to another job, time a meeting, fill a short day, and see the day's hours per job with a short comment on each - with a caption on every step.
From the Download page to your first timed job: the download, Windows' "protected your PC" warning, the installer, the first start and the tray icon, then a job opened in Inventor.
How the job is read from the folder a file is saved in, and how to match your own folders: another numbering, customer folders, the test button, and what goes to (Other).
Timing a call or a meeting by hand, booking it to a job, entering one afterwards or ahead of time, meetings that repeat every week, and the "you were away" and "when did you finish?" questions.
Adding the workshop and customer time afterwards, taking hours out of recorded CAD time, booking gaps, leave and public holidays.
One line per job: descriptions, short comments that keep a history of what changed and why, tidying the day, time not allocated to a job, CAD and non-CAD time, Copy or Export CSV for your timesheet, and backing your data up.
Which jobs you worked on and when, over a week, a month or a year - then a report of any period, one job or all of them, with your comments as the history, as a PDF to send or an Excel workbook to add up.
Five minutes, step by step: how the job is found from the folder, what the strip's colours mean, tasks, lunch and the "you were away" question, the day summary with its short comments, Statistics and Settings. Jump to any part below.
