Updated · 1 minute to read Download as PDF

With the Time pack on, every matter has a Time tab. Run the timer while you work, or add time afterwards, and your week fills in as you go.

  1. Set your year and targets

    Go to Settings › Time

    An admin chooses Financial year starts in, the Daily target in hours and the Activities people pick from, one on each line, then presses Save.

  2. Open the matter’s time

    Go to Matters

    Open the matter and press Open beside Time.

  3. Run the timer

    Press Start timer. It keeps running at the top of every Desk page while you work elsewhere. Press Stop and the time is saved on the matter.

  4. Or add time by hand

    Under Add time, fill in:

    • Date
    • Time, like 1:12 or 45m
    • Activity
    • Note, if you want one
    • Chargeable, switched off for time you won’t charge

    Press Save time. Press Change on an entry to fix it.

  5. See your week

    Go to Time

    Each day shows the time recorded against your target. Use Previous week and Next week to move around.

  6. Run the year report

    If you look after other people’s time, choose someone under Whose week, or press Year report. Pick the Financial year and Group by person, matter, client or activity, and press Download CSV for a spreadsheet.
