Simply start typing the name of the case and it will appear in the auto-match, or click Browse All to view a list of all active cases. If you are adding a more generic event that should not be linked to a case (staff meeting, lunch meeting, etc.), check the box next to This event is not linked to a case.

Sharing - Choose who you would like to share the event with. Learn more about Sharing Calendar Events.

When calendar events have been created and saved, they can be edited at any time by going back to the event and clicking on 'edit'. Also, events can be deleted by following the same steps but choosing 'delete'.

Create Time Entries through Calendar Events

A time entry can be added within previously created calendar events. The button will appear unless the event is an all day or multi-day event.

You will be presented with the ‘Add Time Entry’ icon and once clicked, this will have the case, date, duration and description pre-filled based on the event information. Any fields that are empty can be filled in for the time entry.

Click ‘Save’. When the time entry is saved on the event, it will be saved to the case file where it can be viewed, edited, removed, or placed on an invoice. You can also view the time entry from your recent activity feed.
