We display the most micro-level detail for each Favorite’s label.

  • If you only have a Project entered for the time entry, we will show the Project name.

  • If you have a Project and Task entered, we will show Task name.

  • If you have project, Task and Description entered, we will display the Description.

To start a Favorite via the keyboard, just press the number that corresponds with the Favorites position on the bar. For example, in the example above, pressing 1 will start a time entry for Responding to Client Emails. Favorites can be re-ordered by dragging and dropping them to their desired locations.
