Time Record

A time record represents a discrete unit of work performed by one or more members.

Properties

Time records have the following properties:

• Date and time when the work commenced
• Short description that appears on itemised invoices
• Matter on which the work was performed (this can be left blank, but the time is not billable until completed)
• Notes (in Markdown format)
• Product used to categorise work for billing purposes
• Subject of the work (e.g. a particular document or other item)
• Related contacts and/or documents

Creating

Depending on the configuration of the subscription/business, performing some activities will cause time records to be automatically created.

Time records can also be manually created.

Billing

Time records are expressed as a total duration (in minutes); they do not have inherent billable value. It is only when a scale is applied (either by inclusion in an invoice or manually for reporting purposes) that a charge is calculated.

Depending on the product that a time record is associated with, this value may be billed as-is or marked up/down to align with the charge policy. The sales metric apportions time on a pro-rata basis.
