iTimekeep Integration
In this article:
This article introduces you to the integration with the iTimekeep time tracking system.
The integration with iTimekeep allows ZERO to collect and send either only assigned or both assigned and unassigned activity time entries for email conversations to iTimekeep. ZERO supports the following types of time entry calculations:
- Task Billing – activities from different conversations assigned to the same matter for the same day will be posted in iTimekeep as separate time entries for each day when those activities were recorded.
- Block Billing – activities from different conversations assigned to the same matter for the same day will be grouped into a single time entry in iTimekeep for each day when those activities were recorded.
- Activity Billing – activities will be posted in iTimekeep as separate time entries when those activities were recorded.
Note: Time entry calculation approaches are configurable. For now, ZERO calculates the time in the Task Billing counting method. However, if you want your time entries to be calculated using Block Billing or Activity Billing methods, please refer to your IT department for assistance.
After logging into iTimekeep, you will have access to a variety of features and tools to help you manage your time and activities. On the iTimekeep screen, you can manage the following:
- Enable iTimekeep - Toggle the Enable iTimekeep switch to On/Off to enable/disable the integration with the iTimekeep time tracking system.
