To stop the timer, press the STOP button („X” icon). After the timer was stopped, the recorded time can be saved or the timer can be resumed.
In case of saving the recorded time, the worklog screen will appear and the user can make changes manually.

If every necessary data are given by the user and it is also saved, the recorded time will disappear form the „draft” field.
