The battle timer
Time your work on a Quest with the timer in the header.
In Questify, timing your work on a Quest is called battling in it. The timer lives in the app header and is available on every page.
Start the timer
Click Play on the timer pill (Start the timer). The pill shows 00:00 when idle; once started it shows the running time.
You don’t choose a Quest up front: the timer is general, and you say which Quest the time was for when you stop it.
The timer runs on the server: refreshing the page, closing the tab or switching devices loses nothing. You can run one timer at a time.
Stop the timer
Click Pause (Stop the timer). The minutes are calculated from the server’s clock, and the allocation panel opens. It asks Which quest was this time for?:
Click Choose quest
Select the Quest you battled in opens. Search by Quest name or key (press / to jump to the search box), or pick one under Recently battled. The Quests I’m in tab lists the Quests you can time.
Click Choose quest in the footer
The footer names the Quest first: Logging time to … · QST-12.
Split the minutes
Give the minutes to your Steps on that Quest. See Allocating your time.
Which Quests you can time
You can log time to a Quest you work on: one you own, sit on the Council of, were selected for as a Hero, or hold a Step in. The All quests tab shows the others with a View quest button. To log time to one of them, claim a Step on it or ask its General to add you.
The Quest must also be able to take work: it is active, not completed or archived, and its Adventure has an active game board.
Time from the mobile app
Time logged from the AAU mobile app goes through the same rules and lands in the same place. It is recorded as coming from the mobile app (ERP). A session started from the app already names its Quest, so the allocation panel opens on it.
