Time Tracking

Record the time you spend on a matter, either by logging it manually or by running the built-in timer as you work. Recorded time feeds straight into your invoices, so nothing billable slips through.

The Time panel

Open the Time tab to see every entry recorded on the matter. Each row shows the date, a description, the user who logged it, the duration, the rate and the resulting amount. Entries that have already been invoiced carry a green Billed badge. At the foot of the list you'll see the unbilled total — the hours and value not yet on an invoice.

Adding time manually

Click + Add Time to log an entry after the fact.

The inline Add Time form with description, hours, minutes and date — Adding a manual entry: enter what you did, how long it took, and the date.

Enter a description of the work, the duration in hours and minutes, and the date, then click Add. The rate is applied for you (see below), and the amount is calculated automatically.

Editing an entry

Click any unbilled row to edit it. You can change the description, duration or date and Save, or Delete the entry entirely.

Editing a time entry with Save, Cancel and Delete options — Click a row to edit its details, or delete it. Entries already billed can't be changed.

Note

Once an entry has been billed on an invoice it's locked, so it can't be edited or deleted.

Using the timer

To capture time as you work, click Start Timer on the Time tab. The timer keeps running as you move around the app — a live counter with a red dot appears in the sidebar, so you always know it's going.

The running timer shown in the app sidebar footer — A running timer shows its elapsed time in the sidebar, wherever you are in the app.

When you're done, click Stop Timer (the Start Timer button becomes Stop while a timer is running).

The Stop Timer dialog asking what you worked on — On stopping, describe what you worked on and choose Stop & Save to record the entry.

A short dialog asks what you worked on. Type a description and choose Stop & Save to turn the elapsed time into a time entry. You can also Discard to drop the timer without saving, or Cancel to leave it running.

Rates

Your hourly rate comes from your personal settings and is applied automatically to the time you record. If your rate is wrong, update it in General settings.

From time to invoice

Unbilled time flows through to billing in two ways: select entries here and invoice them, or pull them in while building an invoice. See Invoices. To review unbilled time across every matter, use the Unbilled Time view on the dashboard.
