## The Job Timer

Pipeline includes timers at both the job level and individual task level to accurately track time on site.

### Job-Level Timer

The job timer appears in the Details tab when you are on site:

* Shows **"JOB TIMER"** heading with a red **"RECORDING"** indicator
* Displays elapsed time in **h:mm:ss** format
* Use the play/stop button to control the timer

The job timer starts automatically when you arrive on site and stops when you depart.

### Task-Level Timers

Each task in detailed mode has its own timer (play/stop button). Use task timers when you want to track time against specific tasks.

### Floating Timer Widget

> **Screenshot:** The floating timer widget shown at the bottom of the screen during an active timer, displaying the job title, timer type (Job timer or Task timer), elapsed time, red pulsing dot, and stop button.

When any timer is running, a floating widget appears at the bottom of every screen showing:

* Job title
* Timer type ("Job timer" or "Task timer")
* Elapsed time (h:mm:ss)
* Red pulsing dot indicating active recording
* Stop button

Tap the floating timer to navigate directly to that job.

### Auto-Stop

Timers can be configured to automatically stop after a set duration. Configure this in **Settings > Timer Auto-Stop**:

* 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or no limit

This prevents accidentally leaving a timer running overnight.
