HOW-TO

Modify Time Entries

There are two ways to modify the time entries displayed for the selected date:

Method 1 - Modify Time Entry Window

1.Double click on a time entry in the list, select a time entry and click the Modify button, or right click a time entry and select Modify Time Entry from the popup menu. The Modify Time Entry window will appear and looks like this:

 

screen-edit-time-modify-med

 

2.Make the appropriate changes to the time entry.
3.Select OK to accept your changes or the Cancel button to cancel your changes. If you select OK the modified time entry will appear in the main Edit Time Entries window.
4.Select OK in the main Edit Time Entries window to save all time entry changes.

 

Method 2 - Inline Editing

1.Select the specific value that you wish to modify within the list, such as the end time for a specific time entry, then single click again or press the F2 key to enter edit mode.
2.Type the new value and press Enter or click outside the value that you are editing to complete the change.
3.Select OK on the Edit Time Entries window to save all time entry changes.

 

Notes:

The Charge and Cost columns are automatically calculated from the duration and hourly rates and cannot be directly changed inline.
The Modify Time Entry window must be used when changing the category or user that the time entry was recorded to.

 

Duration Rounding

If manual or automatic duration rounding are enabled in the program options a Rounded column will appear next to the Duration column on the main Edit Time Entries window and a rounded duration data field will appear next to the Duration field on the Modify Time Entry window. You can override the actual duration and any automatically calculated rounded duration by entering a value into this field. Note however that detail reports still show the actual start and end times for the time entry. A manually rounded duration of zero effectively "cancels out" the duration and charge amount of a time entry.

 

Change History

 

The date, time and user that created the time entry and that last updated the time entry are displayed with the time entry details.
