Overview

You can add time entries, fixed fees, and expenses for a matter when viewing a specific matter on the "Charges" tab.

From the Charges tab, you can view a quick summary at the top of the page for the hours, unbilled, and billed information for your matter.

You can also:

  • Manage time entries, fixed fees, or expenses associated with the matter

  • Import charges

  • Export charges

  • Search and/or filter charges

  • Apply discounts to time entries or fixed fees

How to Add Time Entries for a Matter

You can add time entries, fixed fees, and expenses for a matter. Click the appropriate Add button to add your charge type.

For this example, we will create a time entry for the matter.

  • Go to the Matters list page

  • Select a matter in the table by clicking the matter's name

  • On the specific matter detail's page, click the "Charges" tab

  • Click "Add Time Entry"

  • Client and Matter selections will automatically be selected for your matter

  • Select the Member (Required - auto populated as the currently logged in user)

  • Enter Date (Required)

  • Select Billable (Required - Yes or No)

  • Select Task

  • Enter Description

  • Enter Hours (Required)

  • Enter Adjusted Hours (Required - auto populated when you enter Hours)

  • Enter Rate (Required - auto populated from rate assignment if available)

  • Click "Save"

You should now see your new time entry added to the table list. You may need to refresh the page to view updates.

Note: Time entries, expenses, and fixed fees can only be added to active matters. Once a matter has been marked as Archived, Completed, or Closed, no additional time entries, expenses, or fixed fees can be recorded against that matter.
