These values will then pass to the billing item.īilling timers can be paused by clicking the red pause icon associated with the timer. If custom codes are required, click the "Use custom UTBMS Codes" check box and enter your own. UTBMS codes can also be entered into the billing timer, as shown below. If you have already spent time on the task, you can input a value in the "Hours so far" text box. You can optionally add a billing item description. If the billing timer icon is clicked while in a specific matter or task, the client, matter and task will be pre-populated. If the drop down is blank, it means the matter has no open tasks. Once a matter is selected, the task's searchable drop down will show all open tasks for the matter.

Once a client is selected, the matter searchable drop down menu will show all matters associated with the client. When adding a client, a searchable drop down menu appears where you can search for any clients. Matters and tasks are optional, as a billing item can be created without links to a matter. Timekeepers can select a client, matter and task. Timekeepers can create billing timers by clicking on the clock icon labelled "Timers" at the top of any screen. In other words an active billing timer could be 60 hours long, resulting in three distinct fee billing items covering three concurrent days. Once midnight is reached, the prior day's billing item is finalized, and a new one for the current day is created.

Any billing timer that is still running past midnight local time will continue running until paused. Paused billing timers are removed from the billing timer popup window at midnight local time, and the "fee" billing item is finalized. Once a billing timer starts, a "Fee" billing item is created along with any details (i.e., who, client, matter, tasks, etc.). Billing timers can be added, paused, completed or deleted as needed. AppColl has a built-in billing timer allowing users to track their time for one or more tasks.
