Report

To let Brium know you are working on something, just tell him what it is.

For example, if you are replying emails, you would say:

If you started working on something but forgot to tell Brium, don't worry, just add how long you've been at it:

If you switched to a different activity and then continued working on the original one, but forgot to let Brium know, you can say:

Activities and keywords

You can prefix activities with keywords. These usually correspond to project names.

In the following examples the keyword is project foo:

Keywords make it easy to later categorize reports into projects or to assign them budgets in hours, but it's not mandatory to add them in order to use Brium.

This is especially convenient if you continue working on the same activity for several days.

Stop working

If you are done working you can tell Brium goodbye:

However, you don't need to say good bye every day.

If you usually work the same amount of hours every day, Brium will assume you kept working on the last activity you told him about until your work hours are fulfilled.

For example, assuming you work 8 hours a day:

If later you don't say bye to Brium, Brium will assume you worked 2 hours on replying emails and 6 hours fixing bugs during that day.

If you left but forgot to tell Brium:

If you forgot to say bye and you're done for the day, go in the next morning and say:
