How to create "Auto Text" abbreviations that pre-load on Time Entry Forms

The ‘Auto Text” tab allows you to save time.

The Auto Text setting can be found under Settings -> Customize -> Auto Text.

If you want to make a time entry, and you type the same phrase frequently, you can create an auto-text entry here, so that when you type in its abbreviation, the complete phrase will expand out in the field - this saves you time.

For example, you could set “-CM” to be the abbreviation for “Courthouse Meeting and Deposition.” To do this, select the “Hot Key” in the drop-down menu. This is the symbol you will always type before entering the abbreviation to alert eBillity that this is an auto-text entry. For instance, on a Time Entry Form, you might enter “-CM” in the description field, and that will expand to “Courthouse Meeting and Deposition.”
