Build a time tracking application in 20 minutes

Come along with me as I make a complete time tracking application in under 30 minutes! Along the way, I'll explain a massive amount of Coda fundamentals, formulas, and tricks that are applicable to help you in any of your docs.

Coda Guy indeed 😉

Thanks for the tutorial. Clear and straight to the point.

Are you going to make a follow up on how to create the graphs?

Hello, thank you very much for the content!! A tip for a next video would be to use prompts in chatgpt to help create formulas in coda

Hi! How about the dashboard? How do we calculate all time spent in doing a project/task?

[mikeray]

This tutorial is very interesting because of the method you used to log times and the pause time tracking.

The time tracker I previously created had Start & Stop buttons (never thought about tracking Pause time) which added a new row for each Start/Stop session directly to my time tracking table which you have as DB Logged Time.

I think your method is more performant because the per session time duration is only being calculated once in the Timer table and then moved to the DB Logged Time table. With my method the per session duration is calculated on each row everytime the table is viewed.

I've never seen another using this method in a Coda time tracking app.

However, I do have one question. Does your method work with multiple workers?

It would seem to be an issue because multiple users tracking tasks at the same time would override the Start/Stop times.

I think a possible solution would be to create a separate row for each user/worker on the Timer table. Would that work?

Too bad I can't "like" this multiple times over 😊 Huge thanks!

So helpful, thanks! One hiccup - though my Coda settings, table/button formulas mimic yours it is adding the wrong time [zone] to my table. Coda and computer both set to Central, but button adds as Eastern...

Any particular reason why the the visual timer might be flickering even when the timer is not running? I can't figure out what it's doing. I noticed also that if you do not use the pause function, the time logged does not log the total duration, so if you just use start and stop with no pauses, it doesn't log any time at all in the time logged. Is there a way to fix this?

Hey I am Notion and ClickUp user, want to move to Coda, but not sure how to set up central dashboard, so I ll have different projects, databases (must be different for protecting data sensitive private from work related that employees see), but I want a central dashboard where I can see all tasks personal or work in same spot. Any video about it? Do not find lots of tutorials on Coda compared to Notion or Clickup. Thanks.
