Tracking Multiple Windows
Time-Aid tracks the active or focus window. So even though there may be multiple windows open, there is only one that is active. Time-Aid tracks just the focus window, and as you change windows, Time-Aid changes logging.
It is also worth noting that Time-Aid only logs the text in windows title bar, that is the text at the very top of the screen. Some important points regarding this logging process:
- The system DOES NOT log the content of the files you are working on, just the title bar.
- The text and detail of the title bar varies from program to program, so you will notice differing descriptions presented in your log.
- Pop-up windows such as Save As, Are You Sure and so on are also logged, since they become a focus window.

With Time-Aid I can now bill the properties for the computer and BlackBerry based work in about an hour, a savings of about 17 hours a month.

Our engineers swear by it now, and it saves our managers so much 'hassle' if you know what I mean.

The automatic logging is the key feature for me. The drag and drop just makes it easy. I worked a crazy week and Time-Aid / BlackTrack captured every minute. There is no way I could have manually logged all that.

We have been able to increase our billings with Time-Aid, as we now capture the exact hours worked on a specific project.
