I suggest that you implement timers in field form, so that the user easily can track, review and accumulate the time spent on a given task in infoqube.
Thanks for all your efforts,

Thanks for the suggestion. 2 questions:
How would this work ?
Could a numeric duration field, linked to the status bar timer, be used ?
1. Well, from a user perspective it'd ideally be a field with a play and a pause button wherein the numeric value of a timer was displayed and changing in real time. Linking it to calendars and gants definitly would be neat. I could se uses for countdowns and alarms too, though. I have no idea about the implementation from a developer perspective, so I'm happy for anything I get though.
2. Displaying the timings in the calendar and gants would be neat, so a durationfield sounds good. Depending on how it's implemented this might be a good enough solution.
This would probably be pretty easy for a user with VB skills to code at this moment. It would require the creation of 1 to 4 "date" (generic term) fields, depending on how you want to use these timers exactly, with some VB scripts doing various date-time calculations.
(Since there's already a time in the status bar, maybe this could be linked to it in some way ... but this is another story as users don't have access to the timer's "code").
If you tell us more about how you'd like to use these timers, maybe something could be done shortly.
