My warm up is 1 mile on an elliptical at level 3. It takes about 6 min to 6 min 30 seconds. The fit bit won't track till I get to 10 min. How can I  input time and distance and even level for tracking my exercise?

Even though your elliptical isnt recorded. The heart rate measurement will allow the Ionic to calculate calories burned and active minutes accurately. You can input manually in the app but you will lose the personal calorie burn and active minutes as it uses population averages to calculate these once you manually enter. If you want to manually enter go to the exercise tile (running man) and select the stopwatch icon in the top right. Start to fill the activity (eg ellipticsl) and select itoff the drop down list. Complete the form and submit.
