The following fields display on the Timer screen.
Beep when timer reaches:
You can use this option to allow program to beep when the Timer reaches the time entered here by you in hours, for example, 1.5 Hours. Timer will beep to let you know about the elapsed time.
Adjusted Time:
When time is being recorded by the stopwatch, it gets filled in automatically. The time seen here is the adjusted time, after the smallest time increment is applied. Before logging the time to the Time Entry data table, you can manually change it here. BillQuick Online Timer gives you the ability to restart the Timer after the time has been adjusted.
For instance, you are recording time via the Timer and you are interrupted by a phone call and forget to stop the timer. Adjust the time using the Hours/Mins/Secs drop-downs (which are displayed when you click the Change Stopwatch link) and restart the timer.
Employee/Vendor: (required)
The ID of the employee or vendor who is recording the time or for whom the time entry is to be made. Employees are tagged as EMP while vendors are tagged as VEN. An employee, who can access the time entry screens only upon login as a BillQuick Online user, will find this field pre-filled. In addition, this field is unavailable and non-editable.
Date: (required)
This is where you specify the date of the activity you are timing. You can either type a date; select it from the drop-down lists or the calendar available on the right. By default, BillQuick Online Timer will insert today's date from the operating system calendar.
View by Project Name:
When this check box is selected you can enter time in the Timer screen by project name. This means you can enter or type the project name into the Project field instead of the ID. This is useful for those companies where people are more familiar with names rather than IDs.
Project: (required)
Enter the ID of the project for which time is being recorded. You can
select the project by clicking 
that displays the list
of Projects.
Project Name:
This field displays the project name. This is a non-editable field, brought forward from the Project screen.
Activity: (required)
Either type or select the Activity ID by clicking
that displays the list of Activities. If you don't remember the ID, look
at the descriptions in the drop-down menu for the one that matches your
task. The non-billable codes are tagged as 'NB' while the billable ones
are tagged as 'B'. The Activity list also shows the minimum working hours
for per activity as specified in the Activity screen.
Activity Description: (required)
Description of the activity being performed. It is an editable field; you can add to the description to make the individual entries more understandable. The description will be automatically filled in when the Activity ID is selected. It is brought forward from the Activity code screen. Many BillQuick Online users like to add to the description field to make individual entries more specific. The more detailed description will transfer to invoices so your clients get a more complete work description.
Bill:
The Bill checkbox points out if the time entry is billable. The billable status is brought from Activity screen, but if the project is non-billable (those with Overhead or Marketing contract types), the billable status will be changed from billable to non-billable. Also if the project is over budget, billable time entries are not accepted. The over budget evaluation behavior can be modified in Project screen. The ability to change the billable status of a time entry can be defined per user in Security screen.
Xtra:
Any time beyond that specified in the contract should be marked as extra time. The billable value of extra time entries will not be deducted from the contract amount when the project is evaluated as over or under budget.
OT:
Overtime check box should be marked for overtime entries. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings. If Automatic Overtime is checked in the Employee-Detail profile, BillQuick Online automatically tags overtime entries when the total hours for the day exceed Standard Hours.
Flag 1/2/3:
When checked, they indicate that the time entry is flagged. The flags can be used to track any characteristic of the time entries that you want. Example: You can use a flag to mark time entries that are tax deductible. The label for the flags can be modified in Custom labels screen.
Memo:
Enables you to add a memo to the time entry
by typing unlimited text or using Auto
Complete shorthand codes. You can enter important notes related to
the time entry. Click Date/Time stamp 
to add a date/time
stamp to your memos. Right-click in the memo to make use of the many functions
available (for example, cut, copy, paste and undo).
B Hrs:
Selected, you can manually enter a value for the billable hours when you log the time to the Time Entry database.
Cost Rate: (required)
The hourly cost rate of the time entry. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings. Security settings are available in BillQuick Online to hide both the rate fields for certain users.
Bill Rate: (required)
The hourly bill rate of the time entry. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings.
Tax 1/2/3:
BillQuick Online sums Tax 1, Tax 2 and Tax 3 before computing the tax as part of the Bill Amount. With proper security permissions, the rates can be modified. The taxes will be brought forward according to what tax rate is assigned in Activity screen.
