This article provides details about your integration with Aderant Expert Time (hereinafter referred to as Aderant) timekeeping system as well as what functionality is available to you due to that integration. Having integration with a timekeeping system allows you to submit individual or multiple entries to your timekeeping system, as well as manage block-billing entries. Please, note that entries can be sent to Aderant manually or on a scheduled basis. You can adjust this setting anytime from your Personalization Settings. For details, see Sending Entries to Timekeeping System.
Additionally, integrating with Aderant enables the use of matter-specific rounding rules, resulting in more accurate billing. When the Aderant integration is enabled, the rounding rules set in Aderant are automatically applied to time entries. If no rounding rules are specified in Aderant, Apollo's default rounding rules will be used instead.
Sending an Entry to Aderant
To submit an entry to Aderant manually, simply click the Send button located to the right of the entry. The submitted entry will then be displayed in your Aderant.
Note: If you have submitted an entry to Aderant and later made changes to the same entry, those changes will be automatically reflected in your timekeeping system.
Sending Multiple Entries to Aderant
In Apollo, you can manually send multiple entries to your timekeeping system simultaneously. To do this:
- Select the entries that you want to send. The Send to Aderant Expert Time button located at the bottom right of your Review page is activated.
- Click the Send to Aderant Expert Time button. All the selected entries are simultaneously transmitted to your Aderant.
Sending Block Billing Entries to Aderant
Integration with Aderant allows you to manage block-billing entries. If block billing is enabled for a specific matter, the individual activities assigned to that client matter are displayed under the Block Billing label on your Review page. This allows you to treat all entries under the selected matter as separate entries, meaning you can select, reassign, or remove/restore them separately. However, you can only send them as a single-block billing entry, and your timekeeping system will also display them as a single-block billing entry.
Additionally, the total duration displayed in a block billing entry will be the sum of the raw durations of the individual entries. In case a rounding option is set, the total duration displayed in a block billing entry will be adjusted according to the applicable rounding rule after the raw durations are added together.
To send block billing entries to Aderant, click the Send button located to the right of the entry. The block billing entry will then be displayed in your Aderant.
