Filters and Export

The Statistics view of the History tab answers "where did the time go" for any period. Filters narrow it down to the types and tags you care about, you can save them for next time, and from the same place you export the result to a file.

Filters

A filter keeps only the activity types and tags you picked: "only work", or "only the things I tagged client A". It changes the statistics and the list of records alike, and the comparison with the previous period uses it too.

Tap the filter button in the History toolbar to open the filter menu:

Export — see Export below
Add filter — create and save a new filter
Cancel — turn the active filter off. Shown only while a filter is active
Your saved filters — tap one to apply it

Saving a filter

Open the filter menu and tap Add filter
Enter a name
Pick the activity types, the tags, or both
Tap Save

The filter is saved in the filter menu: tap it there to apply it, and next month pick it again instead of setting it up from scratch. An active filter is marked on the filter button.

Info

Without a premium subscription you can save up to two filters.

Export

Choose the period, and apply a filter if you need one
Open the filter menu and tap Export
Choose the format — CSV or HTML
Choose what to do with the file — Send by email or View

The file has every record of the period that passes the filter — type, start, finish, duration, comment and tags — followed by the totals by activity type. When the statistics are grouped by tags or by a list field, the totals follow that grouping too. Custom fields get columns of their own.

Export settings

Several options in Settings change how the file looks:

History order — ascending or descending
Separate groups column in csv report — puts the group hierarchy in its own CSV column
CSV duration format — how durations are written
Display seconds in CSV report — include seconds in exported times
Custom CSV — your own date format for the CSV file, for example dd.MM.yyyy
