Review AutoTime History
When you select the AutoTime button, you will see AutoTime history for the past 31 days.
- If you want to review AutoTime history prior to this, use the Time & Expenses tab.
- Use the dropdown menu on the top of the left column to filter staff members.
AutoTime Preview
AutoTime Preview allows you to review any activity that has "0 duration" or activities that have not been assigned to a matter.
- This feature makes sure you have assigned any potential activity to the proper matters and billed for all potential billable time.
- Select the filter and change filters.
- Review or complete missing information. Note: You can choose to Exclude any of these entries from this screen as well by using the checkboxes in the right-hand column.
Manually Run AutoTime
You may not use this feature often, but you can choose to manually run AutoTime.
- This is helpful when you do not want to wait until AutoTime runs over night or there has been activity added retroactively that did not appear on previous AutoTime entries.
- Select the Auto Create Time Entries Now button and the desired date to convert any pending entries.
