Categories, Clients, Projects and Tasks

In TimeSlice context, Categories, Clients, Projects and Tasks are often referred to as Jobs.  Jobs help you assign attributes to time records, attributes such as a job name, hourly rate and a tax rate.  It's easier to keep track of how your time was spent and for whom when you assign a time record a job.  There is no set way to use jobs; use them as they best suit you.

Jobs have the following attributes as displayed on the Control Panel window.

Name
A name to help you in identifying the job.  It must be at least one character long, but any length.

Active
When you no longer need to assign a job to a time record, but do not want to delete it from TimeSlice, uncheck the Active checkbox.

Hr Rate
This is the hourly rate you assign to this job.  Hourly rates are used from either the categories, clients, projects or tasks, and are set from
the "Hr Rates from" popup menu.  If "None" is selected from the popup menu, then you can directly enter an hourly rate to each time record.

Tax Rate
Enter a tax rate for use with this job.
  Tax rates are used from either the categories, clients, projects or tasks, and are set from the "Tax Rates from" popup menu.  If "None" is selected from the popup menu, then you can directly enter a tax rate to each time record.

Color
Enter a color use with this job.
  Colors are used from either the categories, clients, projects or tasks, and are set from the "Color from" popup menu.  If "None" is selected from the popup menu, then you can directly enter a color to each time record.

Note
Enter any additional notes or comments about this particular job to help you.



Computed Values

Time Used and Charge Used.
These values are computed from the time records
associated with the Job.

Associations
Shows how many time records are associated with the Job.  This can aid in deleting or inactivating unused Jobs (when the association number is zero for example).
