Logging time
Technicians log time directly from the ticket detail page. Each time entry includes:- Duration — Hours and minutes spent
- Description — What was done during this time
- Billable flag — Whether the entry should be invoiced to the client
- Date — When the work was performed
Billable vs non-billable
Mark entries as billable when the work should be invoiced to the client. Use non-billable for internal tasks, training, or work covered under a flat-rate agreement. Non-billable time still appears in reports for utilization tracking.Approval workflow
Time entries move forward through four stages. The flow is one-way — there is no rejection state, so review the entry before submitting.Draft
Technician creates the entry. The owner can edit or delete it at this stage; nobody else sees it for review yet.
Submitted
Technician submits the entry for approval. The entry becomes read-only for the owner and appears in a manager’s queue.
Approved
A manager or admin (someone other than the owner) approves the entry. Once approved it becomes eligible for invoicing.
Only approved and billable time entries are included when generating invoices.
Service agreements
Service agreements define the billing structure for each client:- Monthly recurring
- Hourly rate
A fixed monthly fee covering a defined scope of services. Time is tracked for utilization reporting but is not individually invoiced.
