Create Timers

The timer menu is available on every screen in Bill4Time. Look for the clock icon in the upper right corner. The Multi Timer is built into the program so you can start a timer and if the browser closes or computer shuts down, these timers will continue to run till they are paused or saved in the system.

To Create a New Timer:

1. Click on the Timer icon
2. Click the Add Timer link
3. Enter any relevant information, all fields are optional
4. Click Save.

You will now see your timer running in the timer menu

To Pause and Resume a Timer:

1. Click on the Timer icon to open the timer menu
2. Click on the pause icon to the left of your active timer. To resume, click the play icon.

To Convert a Timer to a new Time Entry:

1. Click on the Timer icon to open the timer menu
2. Click on the details of the timer to open the timer window
3. Click the Convert to Time Entry button

Pinning Timers:

You pin timers to quickly access commonly used client and matter combinations.

1. Click the pin icon in the timer modal to pin a timer
2. Pinned timers stay in your timer dropdown, even after converting them to time entries
3. After conversion, pinned timers reset to 0:00 but retain the client and matter for reuse
4. Unpin a timer by clicking the pin icon again in the modal or next to it in the dropdown
5. Pinned timers appear at the top of the timer dropdown list

Use pinning to reduce duplicate entry and streamline time tracking for frequent matters.

Any information you added to the timer will translate to the new time entry screen. You can now add any additional information and click Save & Close.

Your timer is automatically removed from the timer menu and saved in the system.

*NOTE* If the timer does not pop up after you click "Convert to Time Entry" then your browser is blocking this pop up. Go ahead and allow for pop-ups in your browser settings and this will resolve the issue.
