How to use/enable 'Started Working' and 'Ended Working' fields on the 'Export Task List' when doing a 'Finish Day'

[saraf]

At the end of the day, clicking on 'Finish Day' => 'Export Task List' brings up the following:

I can see 'Started Working' and 'Ended Working' fields there, but all of them are empty (have a '-')

What am I missing - how are these fields supposed to be used?

Also https://dev.to/johannesjo/getting-started-with-super-productivity-2791 mentions the following:

Evaluate your work days

Collect simple metrics to get a better grasp at what works for you and what doesn't. Can be filled on the "Finish Day" page and evaluated on the "Metrics" pages.

Where can one find the 'Metrics' pages - edit: I started using the software before seeing the youtube video. I did not have any project created. Once I created a Project - I got a 'Metrics' tab for it.

Thanks!

This depends on your export settings. You need group by "Date" or "Worklog".

Oh - I see!

I select group by 'Worklog' and now I see the same Started Working and Ended Working for all the Tasks/Titles.
Is this like a 'Started Working' and 'Ended Working' for the entire day - and not connected to the 'Titles and Sub Task Titles' on each row?

[johannesjo]

Yes, it is for the project of the current task and not for the current task itself. Start and End time are only recorded on a project basis currently mainly to keep the data model as lean as possible.

[saraf]

I see! So - the Started Working and Ended Working fields are the time I started working on the first task from the project during the current day, and the time I finished working on the last task belonging to the project on the current day. Is my understanding correct?

[johannesjo]

I think so! Not 100% sure it works correct in all cases. Haven't checked or touch this logic in a very long time :)
