• Have time tracking information: time spent and time estimated
• Be ordered by position

Subtask timer

• Each time a subtask is in progress, the timer is also started. The timer can be started and stopped at any time.
• The timer records the time spent on the subtask automatically. You can also change manually the value of the time spent field when you edit a subtask.
• The time calculated is rounded to the nearest quarter. This information is recorded in a separate table.
• The task time spent and time estimated is updated automatically according to the sum of all subtasks.
