Note: When entering time-on-time billing, depending on how many times you click, certain things will be selected in the date field.

  • If you click once on the date field, it will insert a cursor into where you click.

  • If you double-click, it will select either the 'day' section or the 'month' section etc. depending on where your cursor is pointing.

  • If you triple-click the date field, it will select all of the date so that you can write over it all.

The matter number will search the matters that have been created so far as you type either a number or name into it. The task gives you options of what kind of work it was e.g. billable, not billable etc. The fee earner is the initials of the person who completed worked the time being entered.

Before submitting time you must ensure that each time entry line has been approved, i.e. no missing fields or incorrect data. In order to do this ensure you tab through the fields until a green tick appears at the end of the line. If a line is entered and changes are made, remember to tab off that line.  If a line has not been tabbed off the submit button will appear 'grayed' out. 

After all the information is filled in, the entry will have a green tick Image Removed image-20240827-024231.pngImage Added  on the far right if every field has been filled in correctly. This also means that the entries have been saved in case you want to leave and edit them later. Returning to the time billing page, the entries that you have saved (green tick) will still be there until you either delete them or submit them. While the records are in this stage, the draft stage, they will still be available for invoicing.

...

Once the entries are completed (i.e. you have the green tick) and you want to bill them, select the blue ‘submit records’ button on the bottom left. This will make them available for invoicing.

...

Draft Time Entries:

For any time entries that are over 1 day old and still in the draft status, there will be an information message pop up on the Time Register page to remind you to submit this time.
