Tempo: Time Entry in Minutes
April 8th, 2008
We had an interesting request not too long ago for Tempo. Basically this user was accustomed to logging his time in minutes instead of hours. He found himself having to calculate 90 minutes into 1.5 hours to make new entries in our system, and asked us if there was some way to accommodate this other method.
It's still a bit experimental at this stage, but if you put put an 'm' after the number in the hours box, it will get interpreted as minutes and converted for you by Tempo:
This also works when posting by e-mail. In addition, you can always use an 'h' after the number to clarify that you are submitting in hours if you wish.
