Setting up clocks on Roll20

Screenshot of a detail of a Roll20 browser window. There are two large tracker clocks - a red coloured 20 segment one set on 8 at the left and a yellow coloured 6 segment one set at 3 on the right. The right-hand clock has four smaller 5-clocks set at 3 positioned around it at NW, NE, SE, SW.
The clocks...

This one is more of a note for future reference on how to set up the clocks of Roll20 for the future. I used clocks I'd bought in the marketplace from Lazarus the Cartographer.

  • Add in the clock elements using the "Game Addons" on the launch page for the game.
  • Launch the game. The clock elements will have their own pages you can ignore.
  • Make sure you're on the token layer.
  • Go to "Collection" on the right hand menu.
  • The clock elements will be under "Rollable Tables".
  • Click on the table entry and click the check box "Players can roll from Table".
  • Click on Token, which will add a multisided token to the page; position and scale how you like.
  • Click on the Token and then the Gearwheel icon
  • Give control to "All Players".
And you're done. 

Anyone in the game can now adjust the clock using a right-click on the token, selecting multi-sided and choosing the table entry displayed. It's nowhere near as simple to do as the Role VTT but works fine.
