			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we&#8217;ll talk a bit about the basics of using <a href="http://www.toggl.com/toggl_desktop.html">Toggl Desktop</a>.</p>
<p>Log in with your Toggl username and password, set the first day of the week and let&#8217;s get started.</p>
<p><strong>To start tracking time</strong> you have 2 options:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Click on the task name</strong> below &#8211; Toggl continues tracking for this task.</li>
<li><strong>Click on the project name</strong> below &#8211; Toggl creates a new task for the project. You can enter the description of the task in the box as usual.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/desktop3.png" alt="Toggl Desktop start using" /></p>
<p>Once the task is running, you can <strong>start or stop the timer</strong> by clicking on the good old Toggl button <a title="Direct link to file" href="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/toggl-button.png"><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/toggl-button.png" border="0" alt="Toggl button" width="23" height="23" /></a></p>
<p>Now, if you want to <strong>change task details</strong>, you can click on the <strong>Edit link</strong> in the running task box. This will open up the editing view, where you can change everything about the task (similar to Toggl web).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/desktop4.png" alt="Toggl Desktop earlier task" /></p>
<p>After editing the task, click on <strong>Save</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/desktop07.png" alt="Toggl Desktop edit task" /></p>
<p>Enjoy, and please don&#8217;t hesitate to give us feedback!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next in the <a href="http://timetracking.wordpress.com/tag/step-by-step/">series</a> we have the ending of a project. Once all work on a project is done, the only thing left to do is archiving it. This way you can clear up your screen for new important things.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get to it then. For example, let&#8217;s close the Application design project for Small client.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/closing01.png" alt="Finishing a project #1" /></p>
<p>To do that, you must first <strong>click on the project name</strong>. This will open up the <strong>Edit project view</strong>.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/closing02.png" alt="Finishing a project #2" /></p>
<p>Here <strong>click on the Close project button</strong> which will pop up a confirmation question.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/closing03.png" alt="Finishing a project #3" /></p>
<p>And you&#8217;re done! The project is <strong>closed and hidden</strong> from view.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/closing04.png" alt="Finishing a project #4" /></p>
<p>Now if you wish to see your closed projects, click on the <em>Show inactive projects</em> link and there you have it.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/closing05.png" alt="Finishing a project #5" /></p>
<p>From the Edit project view you can <strong>reopen the project</strong>, too, if necessary. And that&#8217;s all there is to it <img src='http://blog.toggl.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Completing tasks is the next big questionmark for many Toggl users after <a href="http://timetracking.wordpress.com/2007/08/15/helpful-hints-1-manual-time-entry/">manual time entry</a>, so this is what our next tutorial is about.</p>
<p>Marking a task as completed is useful to keep the <em>Tasks for today</em> bar uncluttered. This way you can clear away the tasks you won&#8217;t need to track time on anymore this day.</p>
<p>To begin, you have to have at least one task.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/completing01.png" alt="Completing a task #0" /></p>
<p><strong>Step one</strong> is very simple. Just click somewhere on the task to expand the view. You will then see the links for completing or deleting the task or changing its date.</p>
<p>Now click on the <em>Task completed</em> link.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/completing02.png" alt="Completing a task #1" /></p>
<p>In <strong>step two</strong> click on the <em>Yes</em> in the confirmation popup if you&#8217;re sure. This will mark the the task completed and hide it from the <em>Tasks for today</em> column.<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/completing03.png" alt="Completing a task #2" /></p>
<p><strong>Done!</strong> The completed task is now removed from the <em>Tasks for today</em> column and you have a link to the reports section (if the task had today&#8217;s date).<br />
<img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/completing04.png" alt="Completing a task #3" /></p>
<p><strong>We recommend to close the tasks daily</strong> and make new ones the next day. This way you can always get aggregated information from the reports.</p>
<p>There are some ideas to make the task-handling more seamless in upcoming releases but more of that later on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most frequent questions we get is about changing time of Open Task.  So here is a step-by-step tutorial about the issue.</p>
<p><strong>Step one</strong> &#8211; you need an <strong>open task</strong>. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s running or not.</p>
<p><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/time01.png" alt="Changing time #1" /></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Step two, click on the time</strong> (either running or stopped). This is what you should see. Click on the <em>Stop the time</em> link and let&#8217;s continue.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/time02.png" alt="Changing time #2" /></p>
<p><strong>Step three</strong>. <strong>Enter the new time</strong> for the task. Easiest is to use 23 for 23 minutes, or 1,5 for 1:30 hours. You can enter time in many ways &#8211; more formats are described in the <a title="Toggl FAQ" href="http://www.toggl.com/toggl_faq.html" target="_blank">FAQ</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://toggl.plannerhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/time03.png" alt="Changing time #3" /></p>
<p><strong>Final step</strong> &#8211; Press Enter or click anywhere on the screen to save the entry. That&#8217;s it!</p>
