How To

The Search Time & Fees window allows you to track Time, Fees, and Activities recorded during a selected period for the entire firm. By applying filters based on specific fee earners (Staff) or the staff member who created the Time or Fee entry, you can narrow down the displayed results and choose to further generate a printout for the search results. The Search Time & Fees window is useful for determining which matters a particular staff member is working on, as well as obtaining a more detailed view on time and fee entries in your invoices.
