Tasks

Problem: 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.

Solution: 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.

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.

To create a top-level task, select Task->New (Ctrl+N) To create a subtask, pick the parent task and select Task->New Subtask (Ctrl+Alt+N)

When KArm exits, the task list is saved to the file specified in Settings->Configure KArm. When it next opens, it reloads the task list from the same file.
