Time Type - Admin
Time types can be set up in the Thread Settings by the firm administrators, allowing you to apply relevant time types to time records.
Time types can be set as either Billable or Non-billable, dictating whether the time record with that time type applied could be included in a bill. You can also set a time value for time types, which would auto-populate the ‘Billable time’ field when the relevant time type is applied.
You can choose which time type should be applied as default, and use other time types for tracking time included in a fixed fee, spent on a specific type of work like reporting etc.
Creating Time Types
Time types can be set up in the Thread Settings by the firm administrators.
Select the settings tab
on the bottom left of your menu.
Select Matters and then Time Type.
To add a new Time type, click +Time Type in the top right corner.
A pop-up window will appear. Add a time type Name, switch the toggle on if the time logged with this type is Billable, toggle on if this time type should be Default for all new time records and enter a time value to be applied by default, if needed. Once all the time type settings have been applied, click Save.
Setting a time value (hh:mm) for a time type will automatically apply that value to the Billable time field on new time records. You can only set time values for time types set as Billable -> Yes.
Once you have created a time type, you can add it to time records. Learn more about time record details here.
Editing Time Types
You can easily edit the time type settings in Thread settings page.
Select the settings tab
on the bottom left of your menu.
Select Matters and then Time Type.
Select the time type you want to edit and click Edit in the top grey pane.
In the Edit Setting window, you can change the Billable and Default toggles, or the set time values.
You can only update the Billable toggle if the time type has not yet been used on any time records in Thread. Any time types that have time records against them will not allow the Billable toggle to be changed. When finished editing, click Save.
If you need to instead delete a time type, choose Delete option in the toolbar once time type is selected.
If the selected time type is set as Default, you will need to choose another time type as default first and then try again. Related Articles
