Counter

The Counter Field Type allows a Software Developer to create a counter that either goes up from 00:00 indefinitely, or down from a set number of seconds stored in the field. The Software Developer is given the option to execute actions along the way, at intervals of every so many seconds, and when the counter, counting down, hits 00:00.

You can set the time to start counting down from by storing a value in seconds in this Field through automation.

A Counter Field will display a minimum of 4 digits: XX:XX when counting down and under one hour of time on the Counter. When set to count up and given a negative number of seconds, the Counter will display red.
