After you enter your email address, you will be prompted to log in either via Ruddr or by using Single Sign-On as configured by your organization. 

Once logged in, you will see the Ruddr icon in your navigation bar, as well as the time entries added for that day. (Figure 2)

Time Entries

When you open the desktop app, you will see any existing time entries for the current day. (Figure 3) Here you can edit the time entries or start the timer for existing time entries by pressing the play button on any individual entry. You can also switch to view / edit time for other days.

Adding a new time entry 

If you need to add a new item, you can do so by clicking the + button on the bottom of the screen. You will be able to enter a new time entry for either project time or time off. (Figure 4) The new time entry will default to project time and you can start a timer. If you are just looking to record the hours worked, you can add those hours to the time field and will have the option to save.

If a project isn't available under your project list, you will need to be added to the project by your Project Admin. 

Editing a time entry

If you need to make edits to the projects listed, clicking on the project line will open details for you to edit. (Figure 5) Here you can input hours worked or the start / end time if needed.

Submitting Your Time Sheet

In order to submit your time card, you will need to log into the Web App version and submit from there. You can view instructions in the Help Center on submitting on the Web App. 

Desktop App Settings

Under your profile in the Desktop App, you have quick access to the Web App version of Ruddr and the Help Center, which is full of helpful articles on how to use Ruddr. (Figure 6)

If you are logged into the desktop app and are not seeing a particular project or task, use the Refresh action menu to update the cached list of projects / tasks available in the app.
