TimeSheet

Juris TimeSheet is a personal productivity tool for the legal professional. It automates timekeeping as related to specific clients and matters. It takes the hassle out of reporting time to the firm. It gives the timekeeper the freedom of tracking and recording billable time anywhere, anytime-in the office, at home, on the road, etc.

Facts and Feature List

 

• TimeSheet is completely portable and perfect for the legal professional using a notebook computer-docked when in the office but used offline when out. No phone connection is needed to track and record time; yet the user has full look up and validation capabilities. Completed time slips can be sent by e-mail to the Accounting Department or sent as a file upon re-docking to the firm’s network.
• TimeSheet opens in a Diary view. You have the option, however, of using a spreadsheet view.
• Five digital clocks, in the bottom right-hand quarter of the Diary screen, let you easily keep track of up to five matters that you are working on concurrently. As you work on these projects, you can turn the time on and off as appropriate, using a right-hand mouse click. Other active projects can be posted to your Diary and reopened to add more time and more description for work performed.
• Depending on permissions granted to particular timekeepers, TimeSheet users have drill-down access to client/matter information, including on-screen copies of archived client bills. This inquiry capability puts traditional backroom information in the hands of the legal professional for improved client/matter management.
• There are several ways to open a new time slip. For example, double click on the appropriate entry line of the Diary or click on the new document icon in the tool bar. Better yet, to open a time slip with the clock running, click on the lightning bolt in the tool bar. This is an “interrupt function” and it always opens a slip with the clock running regardless of Option settings. And it suspends the clock on any open time slips.
• You can enter the appropriate Client, Matter, etc., if known, but most users prefer to use the Finder button to look up and select the appropriate codes. For example, look up Client by clicking on the Finder button to the right of the Client field. Once you begin using your TimeSheet system, it builds a short list of those cases you worked on most recently. TimeSheet will first open the short list. If you don’t find the Matter you are looking for on the short list, click on the Lookup tab for the Client/Matter Finder feature.
• TimeSheet interfaces to Palm Pilot and Pocket PCs using Time to Time Pro for Juris® from Tom Thumb Software.
• The Month-at-a-Glance view gives you an instant picture of billable and non-billable time reported to date.
• TimeSheet includes powerful querying and filtering of data, as well as quick and easy information lookup “on the fly” while entering time.
