1. How do I add an activity item manually?
You can add an activity item manually for any period you like. Simply select the project from the Project drop-down box:
And...click the 'Add Manual Activity' button as shown below:
The 'Activity Details' screen will appear and you can select the DATES / TIMES and Per Hour amount and then press the 'Save' button.
2. How do I edit an activity item?
You can edit a previously recorded activity by selecting the activity in the 'Project Activity' area (bottom left section)
| by clicking the |  |
button associated with that activity, the Activity Details screen will appear and you can |
| change the DATES / TIMES for that activity, then press the SAVE button | ||
.
Our Time tracking software has been designed to record the time for the activity. So for example say your working on a particular task and decide your going to take a coffee break, you press the STOP button, take your break and when you return press the START button which will start recording a new activity to show the new period. This then allows you to see exactly what times you stopped and started work as oppose to a total of time. If when you return your working on the same task then you can enter similar information, like "continued working on bills tax return" etc.
The reason we designed the software this way is so yourself and clients can get a report showing the exact periods of time you worked on a project and the tasks you worked on during those periods.
4. How can I add expenses and other miscellaneous charges?
You can add expenses and other charges to a project by, first selecting the project drop-down:
And...click the 'Other Charges ' button as shown below:
The 'Other Charges ' screen will appear (as shown below) and you can ADD, EDIT or DELETE. Fields includes the Date, expense/charge amount and some details of the charge, then press the 'Save' button.
4. Can I integrate my time tracker to another user's time tracker?
Currently our Time Tracking Software is standalone, although you can BACKUP your data and RESTORE on a different PC, but obviously it will restore over the old data and will not merge the data.
6. How do I add my own logo to the timeseets and reports in the time tracking software?
In the options screen, on the General tab, click the 'Load Logo' button
...And select your logo from a JPG or BMP file, press the open button and the logo should appear in the logo panel. Then click SAVE and try previewing a report and the logo will be displayed.
7. Does your time tracking software work on the Apple Mac?
Our Time Tracking software does not currently work on the MAC, maybe a MAC PC emulator program may be able to run it, but we don't have enough people interested in a MAC version to warrant producing a seperate version.
There is no option to DELETE a client in our Time Tracking software. Mainly because if you accidentally deleted a client you would loose ALL projects and task information for that client. If you have accidentally added a client and have not added any projects or time activity to it, then why not use it for your next new client? We see this a safetly feature as we would hate to see our clients loose their time tracking data.
