Tracer user guide

Tracer is a simple time logging tool in the NDX Platform. You use it to record how much time you spend on your work, organise that time by client, project and task, and look at the results in a dashboard.

Tracer runs entirely in your browser. None of your data is uploaded to a server. When you want to work with colleagues, you exchange files instead.

Where to start

If you are new to Tracer, read Getting started first. It takes a few minutes and covers the two things you must know before you log any time: setting up your profile and keeping your data safe.
