Everything you need to know about time tracking.

Time tracking has never been easier! You can set an hourly rate for yourself as well as all other users, create convenient time entries, track time from any device, generate invoices, and compare time entries across users and matters.

In your settings menu, find the hourly rate box and simply enter your going rate.

Each user can set their own default rate using the method above. Alternatively, the owner of the account can go to the "More" tab on the right-hand side, select "Users". Select the user for whom you want to set the default rate.

Click "+New" towards the top of the page and select "Time Entry". Select the Contact and Matter for which you want to create a time entry.

You can then use our built-in timer to track time with your client, or manually input the amount of time spent with your client.

You can select different users at different rates. You can add notes for each time entry regarding what you were working on.

Note: You may pause the timer and resume it as needed.

Through both our mobile site and app, you can seamlessly transition your time tracking from your computer to your mobile device!

Go to "Matters" and select the "Invoice" option on the matter for which you want to generate an invoice.

After you've selected "Invoice", simply click the "Generate Invoice" button.

You can view and compare the time entries by User by clicking here.

You can view and compare the time entries by Matter by clicking here.

When you create a Time Entry, change the Hourly Rate to $0.00. This is the only way the Time Entry will appear on the Invoice. 

Note: If you change the Time Entry setting so that billable is 'OFF', the Time Entry will NOT appear on the Invoice

Using the PracticePanther Timer just got easier with multiple timers.
To use multiple timers just follow the following steps. 

1) Go to the timer located on the right side of any page on PracticePanther.

2) When adding notes to the timer this is what will appear on the description in the time entry. After starting the initial timer a blue button will appear above saying "Start Another Timer". 

3) The second timer will appear above the first timer. The previous timer will pause momentarily while the new timer runs. Once you are done with the timer click "Save" and the time entry screen will appear.
