With the implementation of 7pace's web app, Timetracker now tracks time on a server, meaning that even when your work is finished and you close your browser at the end of the day, 7pace Timetracker continues tracking time in the background.
Note that you can configure settings for 7pace Timetracker's Web and Windows/Mac desktop apps in the Time Tracking section of the Settings page.
When you re-open 7pace Timetracker or the Windows or Mac apps, you see the actual tracked time from when you click the Start Tracking button. 7pace Timetracker uses tokens to enable this functionality. You'll need to authorize our application to download the Windows or Mac apps, use our web app, and access other features within 7pace Timetracker.
There are two ways to authorize:
OAuth
Personal Access Token
(For more information on both, click here).
OAuth is a seamless authorization method since the token refreshes itself automatically and frequently. The only potential drawback occurs if something goes wrong during the refresh tokens process, rendering your token unusable and requiring you to issue it again. With the Personal Access Token authorization method, you have to manually reissue the token, but it remains valid for up to one year.
When you first open 7pace Timetracker, the following authorization screen displays:
Click Authorize now.
The following permissions screen displays. Follow these instructions to authorize 7pace Timetracker.
Pair the Windows or Mac apps with your current account and use the 7pace Timetracker web app. If your token has expired or been deleted, you may also see this yellow badge.
Click Authorize and follow the prompts to re-authorize.
