Timer button as a column in tables
Hi all,
My company recently started using Wrike for project management and timesheet generation.
I really like the Timer feature, since it enables me to log different tasks throughout the day. I was wondering though, would it be possible to add the timer button as a column to the tables with task rows?
This would enable users to quickly log time to summarized tasks, without having to open the individual tasks first. For instance, I have some specific "Support" tasks, which I have to start and stop throughout the day for several minutes each time. Right now I have to open each of the tasks to start the timers. I already have a dashboard that displays these tasks, so it's already somewhat easy to do, but would be even easier if I wouldn't have to open the task and just select the play button in the overview row corresponding to the task I want to start (and stop).
Something like this:

Noting that I support this suggestion! Our team is looking to implement the timer feature in the near future and my biggest hesitancy is accessibility. I think it would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to have timer be its own column on the table view!
Welcome to the Community, Dennis van der Hulst! That’s a great suggestion, thanks for posting it. And Kelsey Rudolph, thank you as well for sharing your feedback. I’m forwarding this suggestion to the Product Team. If there are any updates, we’ll be sure to share them 👍

This is a great suggestion. I was looking for this functionality, and came upon this thread. We sometimes have to be very agile and juggle between tasks. Not having to open the individual task every time will be a great help. Thanks for the visualisation Dennis. I have a custom "dashboard" with my weekly focus, and having the ability to start/stop the timer right there in table view will be a nice time-saver. 🙂
