Job Sheets overview
The Job Sheets section in TimeCache is the long-term storage area
for your time and expense data. This is where the data resides
after you have posted it from the Daily
Log.
There is one Job Sheet for each project/matter you track (but you
can only view one at a time). The Job Sheet shows the client and
project name at the top of the screen. If you need more space for
client names, you can move the project label and text by moving a
drag handle that appears just to the left of the label when you
move your mouse between the window's title bar and its list.
The main part of the Job Sheet panel is a list of all your entries
for the time you log. The list includes columns for the date,
category, note, hours and charges. Below these are totals for hours
and charges.
Active Daily Log entries
When you have an entry on the Daily Log for the project whose Job
Sheet you're viewing, you'll see those entries at the bottom of the
Job Sheet list. These active Daily Log entries are updated on the
Job Sheet as they change, and they are included in Job Sheet
totals, so that you have an ongoing picture of the current state of
a project even as you work on it. Because these entries have not
been posted to the Daily Log, they appear in grey, italic type.
These entries cannot be edited or deleted as regular Job Sheet
entries can be.
Alerts
If you have TimeCache Preferences set to track estimate amounts for projects, and you have
set an estimate amount for a project that you are nearing,
TimeCache shows a red exclamation point (!) to the right of the total charges amount to
alert you that you're reaching (or have exceeded) your estimate
threshold. The alert also shows if you are tracking a retainer for a project and you are over the
threshold level.
Extras
On the right end of the data list is a column which indicates
entries that have tax, markup rates or write-offs applied. When any
of these have been applied, a "+" appears in the far-right column
for that entry. Otherwise the entry's line displays a "-".
Marking entries
There is a column on the far left of the data entry list where you
can mark individual entries.
Resizing columns
Job Sheet list columns can be resized by moving the mouse over the
list header area until a pair of double-sided arrows appears, and
then clicking and dragging. The furthest left and furthest right
columns cannot be resized.
You can reset column widths to default setting by Option-double
clicking the list header.
