## Description

**As** a project member  
**I want** to to be able to track my time simply by clicking on start/stop buttons  
**so that** time is logged automatically based on actual time past/spemt

### **Acceptance criteria**

  - It's possible to start time tracking directly from a work package using a toolbar button
  - Starting time tracking starts a running timer, which will eventually be used for the "hours" value of logged time
  - When time tracking is running, there is an indication of current runninng time so the user is aware of how much time has passed.
      - On the active tracking work package, the toolbar button changes to show the elapsed time
      - The user account icon on the top right shows a stopwatch. Clicking on the account will show the running timer as well
  - Stopping time tracking displays the log time modal with the logged hours and the user value pre-set, for the current work package (or the one in which the user started time tracking)
      - The user is able to modify these values if she so wishes
  - Starting a timer on another work package shows a modal to confirm the user to first cancel the running timer. Confirming that shows the log time modal as above. Upon closing that, the other starts.
