JBCL About Time Professional - Time Recording

Advantages:

This is much simpler and more flexible that using a paper timesheet
If you use the computer to record the time it is much more accurate and you do not have to watch the clock
Those who use an accurate online recording system have been found to gain around 30% more charged time.
A full history of time recorded is permanently kept and can be searched at any time.
Time recorded can be posted simply to BCL time recording systems

As with inquiry jobs or matters can be found either by code or by name or description.

For BCL Users
The program can be transparently integrated to Contacs Time and Cost, or to BCL Debtors Time and Cost.
The program is also integrated with Contacs Inquiry and so time can be recorded easily for the current matter that is being inquired upon.
There is a separate Help page for this.

For everyone else
The program can be run completely standalone, and provides full Client and Jobs lists that you can easily set up, ideal for anyone who does not have access to a time recording system.

This system is flexible: you can set it up to force users to confirm all details (chargeable time, and Cost Centres and Work Descriptions) as they go, or these can be optionally be added later. This means that users can record time the way they prefer to.

The system can be used in two main ways:

1 - Time is logged as you go from one task to another. This is the ideal way as by the end of the day there should be nothing more to do as all the time recording information is complete, and it can then be posted.

2 - Time is entered on the screen similar to a time sheet. This is useful when you are away from a screen or at a meeting and the time needs to be entered after the event. There are 3 different ways to enter time after the event.

These methods can be used interchangeably, and even at the same time.

Information available from Time Recording

Various reports are available on recorded data:

One report writes information much like a standard time sheet, and can be
used for manual input into any time recording system. Depending on how the
system is set up, the details of Cost Centres, units logged and chargeable
are already present. The amount of information in the reports can be
selected: the report can be detailed, or show summary totals, or just daily
totals for each employee.
A listing of time spent for any client is also available, which is useful for preparing invoices and answering queries.
The stored information may also be posted automatically to Contacs or to BCL Time and Cost.

Altering Setups

How to Change Company or Ledger Setups

Click the button "Setup" to set up the system options.

The settings are in two sections - those for everyone (All screens)

Here are the typical setups for running the Standalone version of About Time

(BCL users would choose which BCL system the online time recording integrates - either your Contacs company number or the BCL Accountants Time and Cost number.)

Setup-All screen

And For This Screen

Setup this screen

These options give fine control on how time is recorded as you go. Note:

-The defaults are all options turned on. This makes you record all details for each job as you go. Operating like this is very fast so try this first. If you find you prefer to not record everything as you go you can change this later.

-"Clock Starts when stop previous job". By default the system is always recording time for something. When you click the "Stop" button for a job, that time is used as the start time for the next job. If you prefer the next job time to not start until you click "OK" on it, then uncheck this option. You can always alter the start time for any job with the edit time buttons as well. - so the system has complete flexibility.

Click OK when finished and say Yes to save if you wish to save changes.

Note - make sure the employee rates per unit are loaded. These may not get automatically picked up from the BCL systems.

How to Use

Online Time Recording records the Job or Matter, the time started, the elapsed time and the chargeable time, Notes, and a Cost Centre and Work Description.

There are 3 main ways to enter time, and you can use them all interchangeably.

Clock - when you click Start and Stop the computer minds the time taken for you. This is the most accurate option, and the ideal if you are recording time as you go.
Standard Timesheet Edit - you see a list of time entries spanning several days, looking like a paper timesheet, and can double click an entry to edit details. You can also insert new records. This is ideal when reviewing Timesheet entries.
Diary Entry - where one day at a time is shown graphically and you can use the mouse or keyboard to select a range of time or double click an entry to edit the details. This option is ideal for entering time after the event, eg if you were away from your screen.

Here are some screen shots showing how to log time using the Clock:

Note the fields from Time Started upwards are filled in automatically, and you do not normally need to change them. You just specify which job you want to record time for.

1 - Choose the job or Matter to log time for. You can enter the name or code. If you type a name you get list to select from

select matter

Select the matter you want, and type in any notes you want to record against this job, then click OK (or press Enter to get to the OK button).

Start OK

Click OK -The job is now running.

Note the time either started at when the previous job was stopped (unless you have chosen the Setup option for time to not start until you click OK). This means there is no hurry to get the client name selected or to type in notes. This is convenient for phone calls etc where you may not know who the caller is at first, or who is to be charged for this time. It also gives you time to collect notes etc before having to deal with the time details.

If for this job you want the clock to have not started at the end of the previous job, you can click the "Start Now" button and the start time gets set to when you click the button.

This system is designed for a minimum of key strokes and to be used one-handed while on the phone (as that is the way I have usually been using it for some 18 years).

ATP run

The Hide button is so you can easily Hide the time window once the clock has started. Normally once you have started a job, the next thing is to want the time window to be hidden, and use the screen for other work.

Finishing a job

If the time recording is hidden, look for the red clock on the task bar and click on it to bring the About Time window back.
To finish charging for a job, click the Stop Button. The time stops at the moment you click Stop.

Stop

Here you can confirm the elapsed and chargeable time (in minutes), and the Cost Centre and Work Descriptions.
You can press Enter to just move through each of these fields, and when you press Enter on the OK button, the time is saved, and the next job is ready to start.

Fill in the Cost Centre and Work Description details (for these you can also enter name or code - eg Tel for Telephone will show a list of matches). These codes are got straight from the Time and Cost system.

You are now ready to start another job.

Note - When entering time using the clock like this, the default operation is that the next jobs start time is the moment the previous one finished, that is every moment is to be allocated to some job.

When you select the next job, and click OK, you will see the clock has already been running since you stopped the previous one..
You can alter the start time - see "Altering start times" below

This means that you will also need some non-chargeble jobs, such as administration for time not allocated to clients.

Special Jobs

There are some special jobs, if you enter in the name of a Job/Matter as one of

Out Stop Lunch Tea Home

then this job is treated specially - time will not be charged, and while the time for lunch etc is recorded, it is not added to the working day total. Also you are not required to enter any of the cost centre or work descriptions for these.

Altering Start Times

You can override the start time - there are setup options about this, and there are buttons wo allow you to control the start time for a job, or you can enter the time that the job is to run from into the time box.,

You can enter time as for example 2:16pm 14:16 14:16:00 or 2:16 (This will default to pm)
If you click the Start Now button, the job will be set to start from that moment.
If you drop down the Quick Edit button you can choose from some simple options such as "Last job ran to". This is useful if the previous job had its time altered, and you want this one to start when the previous one finished.
Full time edit allows you to move both the start time of this job and the finish time of the previous job.

Resuming a previous job

This is easy! in the Job/Matter field press the Up Arrow . This will show a list of previous jobs and times, and you can pick the previous one you wish..
If you enter Smith then press Up Arrow, then it will look for previous jobs containing the word "Smith".
This feature is designed to make it easy to accurately record time while one the phone with only one hand free and with minimum key strokes.

How to handle interruptions:

if you have a phone call or someone talk to you while in the middle of a job, there are two ways to handle this.

1 - Stop this job and start another relating to the interruption. If it is a chargeable interruption this is the best. The previous job can be easily resumed afterwards.
This is described above in "Finishing a job" and "Resuming a previous job".

Note when you click "Stop" to stop a job that the clock records this moment you click stop as the time to start the next job, so you don't need to enter the details for it immediiately.
If for instance its a phone call, you are often quite busy at the start of a call, and it may take a minute to work out which client needs to be charged, and the notes to add, and you can add these when you have a moment while still on the phone or afterwards.

As long as you have clicked Stop on the previous job, then the clock is accurately recording time for this one.

2 - If it is just an interruption that does not need to be recorded, then just click the pause button, and you will see:

RunPause

One of the great features of the JBCL system is it records both elapsed and chargeable time. When the interruption finishes, click Restart and you will see now both clocks are running, but at different intervals. This is useful as when a client suggests a bill might be reduced you can look up to see how much time was elapsed and not charged - i.e. how much time has already been written off.

Also often work is done for a client but not charged - this allows you to track this also.
Run Restart

Resuming a previous job - more details

Especially if you have interruptions, you often wish to start the clock again for a previous job. The system caters for this by allowing you to pick the list of previous jobs. All you have to do is press the Up Arrow in the Job/Matter field and a list of previous jobs is shown:

Start Previous

You can also filter this list - if you type "Adm" and press the Up Arrow you will only see previous jobs with names containing the letters "adm" such as Administration etc.

There are a lot of behind the scenes smart features - for instance the entry of cost centres and work descriptions is usually easy as the system looks for the values last used for this same matter or job and uses these as the default. This means you usually don't have to enter anything in these - it is already done.

To Index

Time Recording from Contacs Inquiry

If you click the Time Button in the bottom right of the screen, the online time recording window will come up with the current matter selected.

(Note if a previous job is still running, it will come up with the "Stop" screen for that matter before you see the new matter time starting)

Tips

Basic Tips and Points - especially for new users

You can find a job/matter by entering the code or part of the name.
You can also restart a previous job/matter by pressing the up arrow key to see a list of last jobs used
You can find Cost Centres and Work Descriptions also by entering the code or part of the name
The system will try to assign the same Cost Centre and Work Description as the last time this job or matter was used
Special Jobs are : Lunch, Out, Tea, Stop, Home (Time will be recorded but not counted as part of the working day).
The system keeps both elapsed and chargeable time. Chargeable time is the important one - as this is what gets posted.
A job or matter with elapsed time greater than zero and chargeable time that is zero will not be posted to Trust
All time is entered, saved, edited and stored as minutes (not as units)
Chargeable time is rounded up to whole units when posted.
Either Click or press the Enter Key to go through the fields to start or finish a job.
Press Pause and Restart to handle interruptions - this stops and restarts the chargeable time
Click "Stop" to stop a job and check the elapsed time, chargeable time, Cost Centre, Work description and save
Click "Start New" to save the existing job and quickly start a new one (you can complete details later)
You can set the clock to start either when the previous job finishes, or not until you click OK on the new job. This set in the "Setup" screen and "Settings for this screen"
To see time click the "Timesheet" button, and use either Standard or Diary options
Posting time at present has to be done from the Standard Timesheet screen.

Recording time as you go

Time can be easily recorded as you go.
It is easy to check and correct each entry as you finish it and start another.
It is easy to quickly start recording time for another Matter with one keystroke.
It is easy to pause recording for the current Job or Matter when an interruption occurs.
There are many options to fine tune how this works - for instance many users prefer to turn off the option "Clock Starts when stop previous Job" (When this setting is on the system will be wanting to record time against a matter or job the whole time the program is running - this is more brutal than many people want. When turned off, the clock starts and stops when you tell it to - this does mean you may have gaps in the day where no time is recorded). This option is in the setup screen under "setups for this screen", and is on by default.
Speed Tip - In most cases you can press TAB or Enter to go to the next field for speedy entry (eg recording time as you go, and editing TimeSheet Entries). That is you can use either the Enter key or the mouse to go from field to field, whichever is easier.
Speed Tip - In most cases you can press SHIFT+TAB to go to the previous field

Recording time after the event

The easiest way to add time after the event is using the diary page, where you can drag the mouse over a range of time, eg 10am to 11am, which automatically sets the time range to 60 minutes and then prompts you for the job or matter code. You can also double click any existing entry to edit its details.

You can also use the Simple or Standard Timesheet view to get a simple listing of time and edit time this way too. This view also allows you to view times over several days at once, and also where timesheet entries start too close together to be easily seen in the Diary page. (This can happen if for instance you start two jobs or matters within a minute or within one unit, in which case you cannot easily see both in the diary view).

You can easily switch from the Standard to the Diary view using the convenient coloured button on each screen.

Recording time against jobs or matters not yet in the system

The program does allow this, you can enter a temporary description for a job or matter and use it as normal, but you will have to put in the correct client matter code or job code before the time can be posted.

Setup Options

For a new user the main thing is make sure an employee number is entered on the setup screen, and uncheck the option
"Clock Starts when stop previous Job" if you prefer. Once the correct employee code is in the system it will pick up the charging rates set up for that employee

Advanced

There are many advanced features:

-Time Edit You can edit a jobs starting time in many ways, either by directly entering the new time, or by the Time Edit buttons

    "Quick Time Edit" allows you to for instance set the start time to be when the last job was calculated to finish

    "Full Time Edit" allows you to adjust the finish time of the previous job and the start time of this job in one screen.
    This is useful when you forget to stop the clock for a job, and realise it has run too long and both the previous and     current jobs need to be corrected.

-Reports

There is a full searching and totalling feature. Time can be reported in minutes, units, quarter hours, hours or days.

You can select by date ranges, or by client name.

-Timesheets

There are two comprehensive ways to view and edit previous stored time. These are from the "Timesheet" button: Standard Edit and Diary Page edit

-The time recording screen shows running totals of time elapsed and chargeable for today, this month, and this year.

Graph

Number Minutes in a Work Day

This is for calculating the Bar Graph: the total length (100%) is the
number of minutes per working day, and the bar shows the progress of
the time spent since start of the day, time logged, and time charged as
a fraction of the work day.

This provides a nice summary of how your Time Recording is going for the day.

This provides an instant summary of todays time recording.
The total length of the bar represents the length to the work day,
as set up in the System Options.

The Red/Yellow bar represents the total amount of time chargeable today
as a fraction of the working day.

The Grey/Blue bar represents the fraction of the day
logged so far. Once this bar is as long as the work day, then a complete
days work has been logged.

The employee will aim to:

Have as high a proportion as possible of chargeable to non-chargeable time.
Have the logged time at least as long as a standard working day. If it is shorter at the end of the day, then not all time has been logged, or less than a days work has been completed.

When logging one job or matter, the total minutes logged for that job or matter are also shown, blue is total minutes, red is chargeable minutes.

To Index

Timesheet

To correct or complete previous entries, click the TimeSheet button.
Note you can do this while a job's clock is running, as seen here

Timesheet View
Diary View

TimeSheet Options

For a simple quick list of timesheet entries that spans a date range, use the second option.
For a visual look at the time data for a day in a diary format use the third option - this is fun to use.
All these options are interchangeable, and if you edit time details in each (notes etc) the screen to do is the same.

To find time and print reports or lists - choose the fourth option.

Simple TimeSheet Edit - Recommended option

This takes you to a TimeSheet screen:

Std Timesheet

Fill in the date range you want and click "Show Time". (you can enter dates as for example 29-apr-09 or 29.4.09 or use the arrow on the right or the date to select dates with the mouse)

To edit one entry, double click on it, or press Enter on the one you want.
You will see the editing screen is almost the same as the original Time Recording Clock screen.
Edit2

This editing screen has the same options for looking up a job by code or name, special jobs such as out or tea, and also for finding previous jobs by pressing the up arrow.
Cost Centres and Work Descriptions can also be entered by name or code.
Click "Finish Edit" when you are done.

Diary TimeSheet

This is designed to make editing of timesheet data visual, easy and fun. Note you can see one day at a time, and you can zoom in or out. The zoom function is because if you view a whole day from 8am to 6pm then some of the jobs may be so close together on the screen you cannot tell them apart.

Here is a view of the same data as shown in the other timesheet view above

8 Hour view:
Zoom 8Hr

2 Hour view:
Zoom 6mins

In both of these, each line is a 6 minute unit.

The third view is in single minutes - this is not needed often, but if several jobs follow each other in the space of a few minutes, this is the only way to see them.
Here each row is one minute.
Zoom minutes

Notes about the diary view:

The look:

The colours of jobs are shades of blue for non-chargeable jobs, and red/yellow/orange/green for chargeable ones.
The job or matter code and name is shown for each, and the description, and the number of elapsed and chargeable minutes.
The colours on the right edge of the page is whether the entry is complete - yellow is incomplete, green is complete, blue is posted.
The current time the mouse is on is shown at the top left of the diary.
You can jump to different parts of the day using the "Views" buttons. The default is 8am onwards.
You can zoom in or out to see more or less detail using the zoom buttons
You can also zoom by clicking in the left (time) column - this cycles through the 3 zoom levels.
Only click in the time column to change the zoom view
If you zoom using the time colum, the new zoom level will have the same time where you clicked.
Any rows where more than one timesheet entry starts (ie collisions) are shown in brown

Selecting a time range

The current row and any selected rows are shown in grey
You can use the mouse to select - hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse up or down the diary - not in the time column (the left column)
You can use the keyboard to select - hold the shift key down and press the up or down arrow to select a range of rows
The selected time range is shown at the top left of the diary.
To finish selecting a range Release the left button (if using mouse) or release the shift Key (if using arrows)

Adding a timesheet entry

To add a new timesheet entry, select a range of times on a blank (white) part of the day. This will insert a new timesheet entry.
You have to select over more than one row to add a new entry. If you want only 1 unit, then move to another row and back again to reduce the selection to 1 row.
After the entry is added, the edit details screen will automatically come up so you can set the Job or Matter for it.

Altering the times of an existing entry

drag the top or bottom of the time up or down.
start selecting inside the current time range near the top or bottom and move either up or down as you wish

(You dont't have to start at the actual top row - if you are closer to the top it will move the top, if you are closer to the bottom it will move the bottom)

Jobs cannot overlap, so if you select a range that overlaps into another one it will only alter the time to the edge of the other one.

(If you want to move the start or finish times of a job into the previous or next jobs times, then move the other job start or finish times out of the way first)

When times are altered this way, the jobs time is always in whole units, (or whole minutes if you are in the zoom minutes view).

Editing details of a time sheet entry.

Anytime you can also double click anywhere in a timesheet entry coloured row to edit the details of the job.
This brings up the same edit details screen as for the Simple TimeSheet entry above.

Posting Time

Overview

1 - Record your time - using Start and Stop buttons, or entering time using the Diary Timesheet after the event

2 - Go into the TimeSheet Standard view and check the time details look OK.

3 - Set the Completed Date (use the button in the Timesheet Standard View)

4 - Post (use the post button in the same screen).

5 - A screen comes up with the timesheet entries to be posted, with the amounts of each. You can scroll up or down to see the details look OK. Click "Save" to save the time, you can also Print the time, or Cancel (Finish) without saving it.

(Note - Posting is only for those using BCL - connecting to Contacs Time and Cost or Debtors Time and Cost)

(Posting can be done for you by the accounts department if you use the Timesheet Manager Program)

Posting In More Detail

Posting Time is also done from the Simple Timesheet screen, in an office with many recording time can also be done from the Time Sheet Manager. This will check the time details are complete, then post the time. The posted date ranges are recorded in the BCL system so the system can check if the time has been already posted.

Also here are other functions to check time details are complete, and correct any errors or discrepancies in the time recording data.

To Post Time - (Mark 1)

Each Fee earner can post their own time through some simple steps

Make sure time entries are complete up until the end of yesterday - if any entries need to be added do this in the Timesheet Diary option
Click on the Timesheet button and select Standard Timesheet.
Select the date range you would like to post, or just view the whole week or month
Check that the time details are complete - the ones required are valid Job or Matter codes for each entry (except for lunch and out etc), Cost Centre and Work Description codes.
Time is divided into "Completed" time and "Active" time.
Completed time is when all entries are complete, and no more entries are to be added. These entries are ready to be posted.
Active time is where details are still being added, new entries may be added and details still may be incomplete. These will not be posted until they are marked as complete.
You do have to set the completed date- you can specify an earlier or later date using the "Completed Time is to:" field
The time entries are checked when you go to view Timesheet details.
Note if an incomplete entry is found, all time from then on will be marked as Active - this is to make sure time is only posted as a block of completed time.
Click the Post button
If any Time entries are not complete it will bring up a timesheet edit window for that entry so you can complete the details.
If you have to edit entries, keep clicking on Post and completing the time details until a message appears "Time appears to be OK"
The Post function works liike a wizard, it works itself out what date ranges are no yet posted and steps you through a few dialog and a screen with summary information about what s ready to be posted, all you need tochoose at each step is continue or cancel.
In general the Posting will find all time input since the last posting up until the end of the completed date that you have set - so you can still be completing time entries after this.
A list of the time to be posted is shown. If you are not sure it is correct you can say "Cancel" to not save this time for posting, and print the list and check it further, and try the posting again later.
A list of time to be posted can be printed using the "Print" buttton.
If there is time to be posted before the current posting month, this will have to be done manually - you can print the time details using the "Find Timesheet Information" and input the time details manually - you will have to alter the dates to fit the current month.
Note the time is queued to the Time and Cost input program and wihen that program is next run and tthe time is posted it will appear in the ledger and can be seen in the Inquiry program. (Posting the time usually only takes a second or so in the Time program). In general the Accounts department can run thie Time and Cost input and post program every day to make sure queued time has been posted to the ledger.

To Post Time - (Mark 2)

A new module has been added called "Timesheet Management" which will allow the Accounts department to overview the timesheets for all the employees, check the time and post the time. This will streamline most of the steps from the Mark 1 posting so that the Fee earners do not have to do most of the steps apart from inputting the time.

Fee earners
The fee earners do have to specify which time is completed, this is done on the time sheet. By default time is marked as complete until the first incomplete entry, or to the end of yesterday. If a fee earner wants time further back to still be open for editing, they can do this with the "Completed time is to:" field, and enter an earlier date.

The fee earner should view the time entries using the standard Timesheet view, and set the "Complete Time is to:" option. Completed and Active entries are shown with either "C" or "A" at the right end of the entry.

Accounts Department

The accounts department can process all the entries for each employee. Click the " Timesheet" and the click on the "Timesheet Manager" button. The Accounts department can complete any incomplete entries, alter the completed date, and post the time. The TimeSheet manager can show the same Standard and Diary Timesheet views as the Fee earner.

Timelord Posting

Here is an example of time automatically being analysed and posted - completed time has been set to 7 Sep was detected, so the posting range was automatically altered to start 2 Sep to 7 Sep. Note if incomplete entries are found, the dates will be altered back to the day before the first incomplete entry.

The next screen seen is the same as for the mark 1 posting:

Post1

The posting is like a wizard, and will guide you though the stages.
Note here, there is no entries for 1 Sep, the actual first entry is on 2 Sep, but the posting will pick up any entry after 1 Sep at 17:39:18 which is just after the last entry posted previously.
The posting is smart - it works out previous date ranges posted and posts the next completed block.

Post save

If there is anything about the time you are not sure about, you can click "Print" and "Cancel" here - ie print out the time that will be posted, if you want to check the details first.

To Post these entries

Click "Save" to save this time for posting., then "Finish" (The cancel button changes to "Finish" after you have saved).
Go into the Time and Cost input program and post the time which is now queued ready to post.
The time now shows in the Time and Cost.

You can then pick another employee and do the same steps for them.

Advanced use of the Timesheet Manager:

(This section is only relevant to those posting time onto a Time and Cost System - such as BCL Time and Cost).
There are a couple of very useful additions to the Timesheet Manager:

1 - You get an indicator of when there are unposted transactions in Time and Cost that need to be posted.
This shows in red at the bottom of the screen.
The button at the right can start the posting, or you can do it as normal through the BCL menu.
TL Front screen

2 - Under the Posting Info button, if you double click on any posted entry, it brings up the details of the time behind that entry. You can check the number of entries and total minutes tally up.

This looks like this:

The highlighted row shows posting for employee 1 for 16 Feb for 12 entries totalling 90 minutes chargeable.
Details 1

If you double click on this row, you can see the details:
This shows the original time as recorded (top section) and the time as it was posted (lower section).
It will very easy to check the time has posted correctly.
Post Details 2

Reports/Finding Information

The time history is permananent and can be searched in many flexible ways.
The easiest way to find time history is to search for clients by name.
Note - a convenient way to analyse jobs into sub-categories is to use a keyword at the beginning of the Notes field. This can be searched for within one client.
Time can be reported on in minutes (default), or units, or decimal quarter hours, or hours or days
Time history can be selected by a date range
