How to post Daily Log data
After you've filled out a day's worth of entries in the Daily Log, you need to post them to their respective Job Sheets by choosing Daily Log>Post Data, or by clicking the Post Data icon in the toolbar.

When you choose this command, TimeCache warns you if you have entries with no billing categories assigned. TimeCache does not post entries unless they have a client, project/matter and billing category assigned. If you have Daily Log entries that do not have billing categories, you can cancel the procedure and add billing categories at that point if desired.

After your entries are posted, TimeCache asks if you want to change the date. If you do, TimeCache clears the Daily Log entries. If you were warned that there were entries with no billing categories assigned, TimeCache does not ask if you want to clear the Daily Log to avoid deleting incomplete entries that you may want to post.

You can also set TimeCache to clear the Daily Log every time you post data.

Posting only some Daily Log entries
Another option is to post only entries that have been checked at the far left of the Daily Log list. You post only marked entries by choosing Daily Log>Post Marked Entries. When you choose this option, TimeCache posts any entries that have been checked, and then deletes them from the Daily Log. It does NOT prompt you to change the date after successfully posting them.

Watch out for duplicates!
Posting data more than once for any date adds that data to previous entries on Job Sheets. It does NOT replace data previously entered for that date. When you post data, TimeCache first checks to make sure you haven't already posted entries for the date appearing in the Daily Log date field. If you have already posted entries for the displayed date, TimeCache warns you about duplicate entries before proceeding and asks you to confirm that you want to add the current batch.

You can set TimeCache Preferences to protect against duplicate dates. When you do, any time the Daily Log date is set to a date for which you have previously posted data, TimeCache disables the Post data command in the Daily Log until you either change the date in the Daily Log to one which has not had dates posted, or you choose Re-enable posting from the Daily Log menu. In addition, the Post data icon in the Daily Log toolbar is disabled and shows a warning to remind you that the Daily Log is set to a date for which you have already posted entries.
