Hi,  
I’m trying to start using Chronograph, but I can’t find where to create a new one to start using it.  
On the page of the developer I can read what I can do with it and I can find several examples, but nowhere the instruction how to create a new Stopwatch, Timer or Transition.  
I’ve looked at Variables, at the configuration of Chronograph, etc.  
So please show me the way 😊  
It’s probably that simple, that I’m overlooking it 😄  
Greetings,  
Rene

It’s created as soon as you give it a name, like in this Then-card.

Hi Rene,

It is mentioned though 😉, but okay, it probably should be followed by “_by entering a unique timer name_”
