• Next you'll see the oversight of all the tasks in the plan. You can choose to:
  • Mark all as done: This way all the tasks will be set to done. You can do this if you just want to set all the tasks to done and don't want different users to indicate when they have started and finished tasks. This way you can't time the tasks.
    
    
  • "Start": by clicking this button you indicate that a task has started. From this moment the timer will start for this task. you will see a "timer" icon in the timing square of the task.
