Task guide

Record time

Run a timer or fill the week grid, with each entry rounded, valued at once and checked against the rules the firm sets.

Run a timer

  1. Open Time, then Timers, and start a timer on the matter you are working on.
  2. Pause and resume as you are interrupted. You can keep several timers, with one running at a time. The running timer shows at the top of every screen.
  3. Stop it and add the narrative; it becomes a time entry.

Timers are kept on the server, so a timer started at your desk is still running on your phone. If you step away, the timer asks about the idle time when you return rather than stopping by itself.

Fill the week grid

Time, Week shows the week as a grid, one row per matter and activity. Type the hours for each day and add the narrative. This is how to catch up entries made away from the keyboard.

What happens when you save

  • The duration is rounded up to the firm's increment, six minutes unless the firm has set another.
  • The entry is valued at once from the rate in force on the work day, and the rate and where it came from are kept on the entry.
  • The activity decides whether it is chargeable; a narrative is offered for the activity you chose.

Fix an entry

Edit, copy, repeat, split an entry across matters, or transfer it to another matter with a reason. Once an entry is on a posted bill it is locked: it is corrected by a reversing entry beside it and a new entry with the right work, both visible.

Late time

Work older than the firm's window waits for approval by the matter's partner or your supervisor, who are told.
