Tracking time in Redmine. How does it work?

The TMetric extension adds the Start timer button in the header of a task in Redmine.

Click the button and the time spent on a Redmine task will be logged in your TMetric account. The task is listed on the Tracker page in the TMetric Web Application. The name and ID of the task are same as in Redmine.
