Debt/Credits Types - Hourly
Hourly Debt/Credits keep track of time spent on a Project. You can set the rate in the Advanced Info panel of the Debt/Credit window.

A Hourly Debt/Credit is considered a Timer. You can run any timer at any time by editing the timer and clicking "Start" in the Advanced Info panel. You can also access timers via the Running Timer window and on Mac OS in the Status Item. A timer's total amount is calculated by multiplying the Rate x Total Hours. A timer keeps track of all times started and stoped. These times are referred to as "Saved Time Intervals." The can be edited, deleted, created, or ignored in the Advanced Info Panel of the Debt/Credit window.

Studiometry Tip - Don't understand the Running Timers?
Studiometry's running timers are used to track time while working on a Project. A running time has a Debt/Credit Type (with a possible default rate), a description, and more information associated with it. Running timers are just extensions of the Debt/Credits that are used to track all Items related to a Project.

Possible ways to start a Running Timer:
- Use the Running Timers Window, click the Start New button and select your Project.
- Select your Project in the Main Window Project list, navigate to the Debt/Credit tab, and click the Plus Button. You would then need to select Hourly (or whichever custom Debt/Credit Type you've made) from the popup menu.
- Mac Only - Setup your Status Item to automatically start a timer when selecting a Project.

Timers can either be Paused, Running or Stopped. When the timer is started, it will start counting up from 00:00:00. When the timer is paused it will remain in the running timers lists, but the visible ran time will revert to 00:00:00.

When a timer is started, Studiometry creates a new Time Interval, which can be viewed and edited in the Advanced Info section of the Debt/Credit Editing Window. Studiometry will automatically calculate the total time of all intervals and multiply it by the set rate to produce the total amount for the timer.

If you'd like to enter a custom time amount for a timer, simply click Ignore Saved Time Intervals in the Debt/Credit Editing Window and enter your desired Total Hours.

Default Timer Types
Default timers can be set specifically by Client, Project, and Employee. You can also set an overall Default Timer when none of the above are selected. The order of selection is:
1. Project
2. Client
3. Employee
4. Over Default Timer

If the Project doesn't have a default timer type set, Studiometry will check the Client, and so forth until it comes up with the correct timer. You can also set specific employees to override the default timer types when they are logged in, making Employee #1 on the list for just that employee.

Default timer types are used when creating a timer from the Status Item, actions in the Project list, creating timers from Contact Logs, and in the New Running Timer window.
