Timecard overview

Your own private timesheet: punch in, log stints, and see each week in your firm's grid.

Alpha tool. It's early and still changing: expect things to break, and keep your own copy of anything you can't lose. What alpha means

Timecard is your own timesheet. You punch in and out, or type your hours, against your own activity names. Timecard turns them into the weekly grid your firm's time system wants: pay type, job number and task code. When you've entered the week in your firm's system, you record what you submitted, and anything you held back carries forward.

Only you can see it #

A Timecard lives in one of your own projects, and only you can open it. Other people on the project can't, and neither can a firm. Its snapshots are yours alone too.

You can still show it to someone: turn on a view-only link under Share / Snapshots. Only you can turn links on or off. A link can also have a PIN.

The main screen #

From top to bottom, left to right:

The toolbar: Project ▾ (where it's saved), the Timecard's name, the tabs, a chip that reads In (the project) · only you or Local draft, then New, Import, Export ▾ and Share / Snapshots.
The tabs:
- Week: punch in and out, add time, and see the week's stints. See Punch in and out and Log time.
- Timesheet: the week as your firm's grid, and recording what you submitted. See Submit a week.
- Codes: your jobs, timesheet lines and activities. See Codes.
- Settings: weeks, pay periods, rounding, minimum and overtime. See Pay periods and rules.
The rail on the right: This pay period and Checks.

Start a new timecard #

From a project page #

On one of your own projects, click + New ▾, then Timecard. A blank Timecard is made in that project. Firm projects don't offer it. See Projects and schemes.

From inside Timecard #

On Timecard's home page, under Start fresh:

+ Blank: no codes or entries yet. Add your jobs and activities, then start logging.
Sample timecard: made-up jobs and three weeks of time, one week submitted with hours carried.

New in the toolbar also starts an empty Timecard. If the one on screen is only on this computer, it's replaced, so export a copy first if you want to keep it.

Save it to a project #

A new Timecard is a Local draft on this computer. To keep it and open it anywhere:

Click Project ▾, then Save to a project….
Pick one of your own projects and click Save. Or type a name under Or a new project and click Create & save.

From then on it saves as you work. Project ▾ also has Save a new cloud version. See Saving and versions.

Open existing work #

Timecard's home page lists the timecards in your projects. Click one to open it.
Project ▾ lists your other timecards too.
Open a Timecard file… on the home page, or Import in the toolbar, opens a Timecard file (.json). It opens as a Local draft on this computer. See Export and import.

Pull it out of a project #

Under Project ▾:

Pull out — keep the project's copy: this computer gets a Local draft; the project keeps its copy.
Pull out — remove from the project: it leaves the project entirely, and this computer keeps a Local draft.

Set it up #

On Codes, add your jobs and their timesheet lines, then the activities you'll log time against.
On Settings, set your week, pay period, rounding, minimum and overtime.
On Week, start logging.

AI assistants #

An AI assistant connected through the AI connector can read your Timecard a week at a time, log time, punch in and out, and set up codes for you. Recording what you submitted stays in the app.
