Configuring Timer and Timesheet Settings

Set rounding, billable defaults, and what your team's timesheet shows

Applies to: Billing

These settings decide how your whole team records time: whether entries round, whether time starts as billable, and what the timesheet grid looks like. Set them early, before habits form around the defaults.

Timer Settings

Click Settings > Timer Settings.

Timer Settings

Timer Settings: rounding, concurrent timers, overtime rates, and billable defaults.

If you want to...
Set this
Round timer time up to a set increment
Timer Rounding. The timer's time rounds up to the next increment: with 6-minute rounding, 2 minutes becomes 6 and 8 minutes becomes 12. It only affects new entries.
Let people run more than one timer at once
Concurrent Timers. It's off by default, so starting a new timer pauses the others.
Charge a different rate for overtime
Overtime Billing Rates. This adds overtime rate fields to users, clients, and projects.
Add tax to time entries
Default Time Entry Tax: a tax percentage for the whole firm.
Let people log time to a client with no project
Non-Project Related Entries. Type your own word in the box below it to rename the label everywhere.
Have the Bill box start ticked (or unticked)
Time Entry Billable Status Default
Allow or stop time entry from phones
Create Time Entries in the Mobile App

Timesheet Appearance

Click Settings > Customize > Timesheets. A live preview below the settings shows each change before you save.

Customize Timesheet

Timesheet options, with a live preview of the grid below.

  • Work Week starts on: the grid's first day.
  • Columns: show or hide Client, Activity, Billable Lock, and the Bill checkbox.
  • Days: hide days nobody works. This only changes your own timesheet. Each user picks their own days.
  • Notes: a message on everyone's timesheet, handy for deadline reminders.

Common Problems

  • Old entries didn’t change after you turned on rounding. Rounding only applies to entries saved from now on.
  • There are no overtime rate fields. Turn on Overtime Billing Rates first. See How Billing Rates Work.
  • Someone’s timesheet shows different days than yours. Each person chooses their own visible days.
