| Note | Entry | Result |
|---|---|---|
. , : and spaces can be used as separators between hh:mm:ss | 1.20.3 1 20 3 1:20:03 1,20,3 | 01:20:03 |
Three numeric fields are read as hours:minutes:seconds | 1.2.3 1 2 3 1:2:3 1,2,3 | 01:02:03 |
Two numeric fields are read as hours:minutes | 1.2 1 2 1:2 | 01:02:00 |
A single numeric field (≤99) is read as minutes | 10 | 00:10:00 |
A single numeric field (≥100) is separated into hours and minutes | 120 | 01:20:00 |
h m and/or s can be used to indicate specific components | 1h30s | 01:00:30 |
| Named numeric fields can overflow | 120m | 02:00:00 |
The keyword p returns the end time of the previous event | p | 09:00:00 (if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) |
| Starting a time entry with a + sign, adds the time to the previous event | +10m10s | 09:10:10 (if previous event finishes at 09:00:00) |
| Leading zeros are not necessary | 2.2.2 2 2 2 2:2:2 2,2,2 | `02:02:02 |
| Separators can be used to indicate where zero is omitted | 10: or :10 | 10:00:00 or 00:10:00 |
Enter a full time-tag without separators (hhmmss; Note that you need six digits for this, otherwise it will be interpreted as minutes) | 123456 | 12:34:56 |
