I have to fields: "Time Spent" and "Total Time". Here is my scenario. A user wishes to have a simple time tracking system setup for tasks. He opens a record (form) and enters 3 in Time Spent and upon Closing the 3 also appears in Total Time. The next day he enters Time Spent 4 and Total Time is now 7. As you can see I want to add the Time Spent to the Total Time so they can track how much time they spend on a given task. Any thoughts? Thanks!...

There are many ways to approach this, the following is the first that comes to mind:

Have a User Input task with a read-only field for 'Total Time' and an editable field for 'Time Spent.' The user kicks off the action, enters the time spent, and click submit. The flow routes through an XOR gateway, adds the 'Time Spent' to 'Total Time,' and returns to the task. The user now has a task that shows the updated 'Total Time' and the field to enter another 'Time Spent' value. When the user is finished entering times for this task, the user clicks another button, 'Complete,' and the flow routes through the XOR and ends the process.
