For professionals staying organized managing tasks efficiently and keeping track of time are essential. However we all experience days when even the simplest tasks, like time tracking can feel overwhelming. That's why we're excited to introduce our brand feature; Favorites.

Understanding Favorites

Favorites serve as a way to access your frequently used time entries making your time tracking experience smoother than ever. Once you mark a time entry as a favorite it will prominently appear at the top of your Timer page. To begin tracking time just click on your Favorite. While one click time tracking isn't groundbreaking news the Favorites feature takes it up a notch with its enhanced efficiency.

With one click on the "Play" button you'll start a time entry.. Here's where the magic happens; clicking on a favorite will automatically initiate time tracking for that entry with all its important details already filled in-such as project information, task details, billability status or tags.

Currently available exclusively for web and Android platforms to users, on the Starter plan; however more platforms will soon integrate this feature. So consider upgrading your plan to make the most out of it.

To get a guide, on how to manage your items you can explore our Knowledge Base.

The Benefits of Using Favorites

1. Easy Access to Time Entries

Whether its a task or a time entry with a description Favorites can be your shortcut. Moreover each favorited time entry comes with keyboard shortcuts. By pressing the corresponding number on your keyboard your timer will activate.

2. Organized Time Tracking Records

Imagine a situation where a major client asks about inconsistencies, in the Weekly Report. The hours are there. They're scattered under names. With the help of Favorites you can ensure consistency in your time entries by grouping activities. This not keeps your reports organized. Also reduces unnecessary client inquiries.

3. Improved Focus

If theres a task that you've been avoiding adding it to Favorites will serve as a reminder. Every time you visit your Timer page that task will be there encouraging you to prioritize what truly matters.

4. Flexibility and Control

Favorites are designed to adapt to your work routine regardless of its intensity level. While autocomplete suggestions can be helpful using Favorites gives you control over managing your preferred items.

You have the freedom to choose and manage, up to 10 favorites as you wish. The decision to add or remove them is entirely, in your hands.

I have been a software developer since I was 12 and I think this shaped my approach to solving problems. What I do first, is untangle them – and my favorite tool for that is a whiteboard. This is what I’m passing on to the company. I am proud that easy.bi develops intelligent SaaS solutions for businesses that help optimize business processes in a faster and more efficient way.
