Creating entries

Create an entry by dragging

To create an entry, drag over the time you worked. The calendar can only save an entry once you have at least one project.

1. Press an empty slot and drag down or up. As you drag, the block snaps to 15-minute steps.
2. Let go. The New entry panel opens beside the block. On a phone, it opens from the bottom of the screen. Choose a project. If the project has phases, Phased selects the phase you last used there. Change it if this work belongs to another phase.

   If you have no project yet, Phased asks you to create one first.

3. Add a task or note if it helps describe the work. Both are optional. Press Add, or Enter in the note, to save the entry. If no project is chosen, the panel asks for one.

To repeat earlier work, start in the note. On a computer, the cursor is already there. Type a few letters and choose an earlier entry from the list. Phased fills in the note, project, phase and task, and the times stay as you drew them. See Note.

If you press an empty slot without dragging, Phased starts a 15-minute entry there. You can change its start time, end time or duration in the panel before you save. You can also resize it on the calendar later.

Move and resize

On a computer, move an entry by dragging its middle. Change its length by dragging its top or bottom edge.

1. Press the block and drag it to a new time or day.
2. Press its top or bottom edge and drag to change how long it runs.

Dragging on the calendar snaps to 15-minute steps. For an exact time, open the entry and type its start or end time. A typed time can use any minute.

• When you let go, a message with Undo appears for ten seconds. If you moved or resized the entry to the wrong day or time, press Undo to reverse it.
• Hold Alt (Option on a Mac) while you drag to copy the entry instead of moving it. See Copy and continue.
• A very short entry still opens when you press it, and you can still drag its bottom edge to make it longer. To move it, or to resize it from the top, first make it a little longer.

Split an entry

There is no separate split command. To divide one block of time, shorten the original entry. Then create another entry for the time that is left.

1. Shorten the original entry so it ends where the work changed. You can drag its edge or open it and change the end time.
2. Create a new entry over the time that is now free. Give it the right project, phase and task.

The two entries are separate. Each one can have its own task, note and scope. Both can also use the same task name.
