AutoTime is a time and activity tracking feature built into Smokeball that automatically captures time spent working in Smokeball. Never manually track time again!
AutoTime will help you spend less time tracking time contemporaneously or returning to remember everything you did. AutoTime users bill 10-30% more by accurately tracking more time in Smokeball.
How AutoTime works
As your work, Activity tracks time spent on Matter Administration, Events, Tasks, Documents, Emails, Messages, Memos, Intake Forms, and Archie.
Every night, AutoTime will take all your recorded activities in Activity and automatically create time entries for you.
You can review entries at any time by opening the Time & Cost Recoveries tab. Learn more about editing and manually finalising AutoTime entries.
