When you choose to start a timer using this menu option, you will need to pick which project you would like to log the time on.

You will also have options to select an individual task, add a description, and mark the time as billable.

Adding tags

When working with timers, you can add tags that will be attached to the time entry once you log the time from the timer, using shortcodes in the description:
