Time Display Increments

The exact number of seconds elapsed is saved for a time entry record.  The manner in which the time is rounded up and displayed on the screen or in reports is affected by the selections described here.  The Elapsed time can be displayed in increments of 1 second, 1 minute, 6 minutes, 15 minutes and 100th of an hour.  An example of how the time: one hour, 12 minutes and 34 seconds will be displayed in each.

1 second  The elapsed time is displayed down to the second.  This is the only selection where the seconds are displayed.  The example time is displayed as:  01:12:34

1 minute  The elapsed time is displayed only in hours and minutes.  Any seconds will round up to the next minute.  The example time is displayed as:  01:13

6 minutes  The elapsed time is displayed in hours and minutes where the minutes are multiples of 6.  The minutes are rounded up to the next multiple of 6.  The example time is displayed as:  01:18 in the default format of hours : minutes and the time is displayed as:  01.30 in the decimal format.

15 minutes  The elapsed time is displayed in hours and minutes where the minutes are multiples of 15.  The minutes are rounded up to the next multiple of 15.  The example time is displayed as:  01:15 in the default format of hours : minutes and the time is displayed as:  01.25 in the decimal format.

100th of an hour  In this time increment display, you select the number of 100th of an hour increments to display the elapsed time in.  The number entered in the text box can range from 5 - 100.  This number is only used when the 100th of an hour is selected.  For instance, enter the number 50 to have the time displayed in increments of 30 minutes (i.e.: 50/100 hour or 1/2 hour).  Another instance, enter the number 10 to have the time displayed in increments of 6 minutes (i.e.: 10/100 hour or 1/10 hour).  Another instance, enter the number 5 to have the time displayed in increments of 3 minutes (i.e.: 5/100 hour or 1/20 hour).  If the number 50 is entered in the text box, the example time is displayed as:  01:30 in the default format of hours : minutes and the time is displayed as:  01.50 in the decimal format.

Time Format

Default Format  The default format to display the time in is:
    hour : minute  or  hour : minute : second

Decimal Format  Time can also be displayed decimally in hours and hundredths of an hour.  For instance, using time display of 6 minute increments, one hour and 12 minutes will be displayed regularly as:  01:12 and in decimal notation the time would be displayed as:  01.20
Decimal format is not available for time display increments of 1 second and 1 minute.

The time record that is inserted will have the current date and time as the start date, start time, stop date, and stop time.  The elapsed and paused time will be zero.  You can then edit the time record to contain the applicable time information.  The time information can be edited in the cells on the main screen or in the edit time dialog box.  See the Edit Time Entry section for more information on editing the Time Entries.


International Date, Time, Currency Customization

You must be using the 32 bit version of TimeSlice Lite to take advantage of the currency part of this feature.  Both the 16 and 32 bit versions of TimeSlice Lite will display the date and time in the International setting selected on your computer.

TimeSlice Lite will display the Date, Time and Currency as set in the Windows Control Panel - Regional Settings.  Chances are that you will not have to do anything special to your computer for the TimeSlice Lite 32bit version to display the date, time and currency using your Regional Settings.  See the Windows online help - Regional Settings for more information.

Changing Regional Settings

Use the Windows Control Panel to select the Regional Setting for your computer.  Select the Regional Setting for your locale.  Then allow your computer to reboot to have this change in Regional Setting take affect.  After you select a Regional Setting, you can further customize how you want the date, time and currency to be displayed.  If you need more explanation on how to customize a date, time or currency, while in the Regional Settings, click the '?' button in the upper right corner of the Regional Settings dialog box and then click on the area of the dialog box that you want more information about.

Be careful when changing the date, time and currency settings in the Regional Settings by text editing the values.  Any customization will be reflected in all the software running on your computer and how the software will display dates, times and currencies.  So, if you make a mistake in your text editing of these settings, these mistakes will be reflected consistently across your computer system and software which utilizes the Regional Settings.
