The following are descriptions for the fields on the Timer-Time tab:
Date: (required)
This is where you specify the date of the activity you are timing. You can either type a date; select it from the drop-down lists or the calendar available on the right. By default, Web Suite Timer will insert today's date from the operating system calendar.
View by Project Name:
When this check box is selected you can enter time in the Timer screen by project name. This means you can enter or type the project name into the Project field instead of the ID. This is useful for those companies where people are more familiar with names rather than IDs.
Project: (required)
Enter the ID of the project for which time is being recorded. You can select the project by clicking 
that displays the list of Projects.
Employee/Vendor: (required)
The ID of the employee or vendor who is recording the time or for whom the time entry is to be made. Employees are tagged as EMP while vendors are tagged as VEN. An employee, who can access the time entry screens only upon login as a Web Suite user, will find this field pre-filled. In addition, this field is unavailable and non-editable.
By default, the employee or vendor can be selected by clicking that displays the list of Employees and Vendors.
Activity: (required)
Either type or select the Activity ID by clicking that displays the list of Activities. If you don't remember the ID, look at the descriptions in the drop-down menu for the one that matches your task. The non-billable codes are tagged as 'NB' while the billable ones are tagged as 'B'. The Activity list also shows the minimum working hours for per activity as specified in the Activity screen.
Project Name:
This field displays the project name. This is a non-editable field, brought forward from the Project screen.
Activity Description: (required)
Description of the activity being performed. It is an editable field; you can add to the description to make the individual entries more understandable. The description will be automatically filled in when the Activity ID is selected. It is brought forward from the Activity code screen. Many Web Suite users like to add to the description field to make individual entries more specific. The more detailed description will transfer to invoices so your clients get a more complete work description.
B Hrs:
Selected, you can manually enter a value for the billable hours when you log the time to the Time Entry database.
Cost Rate: (required)
The hourly cost rate of the time entry. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings. Security settings are available in Web Suite to hide both the rate fields for certain users.
Bill Rate: (required)
The hourly bill rate of the time entry. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings.
Tax 1/2/3:
Web Suite sums Tax 1, Tax 2 and Tax 3 before computing the tax as part of the Bill Amount. With proper security permissions, the rates can be modified. The taxes will be brought forward according to what tax rate is assigned in Activity screen.
Filters On/Off:
Turns on/off all filters set in the Filter screens. Check the check box to apply filters to the drop-downs.
Bill:
The Bill checkbox points out if the time entry is billable. The billable status is brought from Activity screen, but if the project is non-billable (those with Overhead or Marketing contract types), the billable status will be changed from billable to non-billable. Also if the project is over budget, billable time entries are not accepted. The over budget evaluation behavior can be modified in Project screen. The ability to change the billable status of a time entry can be defined per user in Security screen.
Xtra:
Any time beyond that specified in the contract should be marked as extra time. The billable value of extra time entries will not be deducted from the contract amount when the project is evaluated as over or under budget.
OT:
Overtime check box should be marked for overtime entries. The rate is automatically brought forward based on the project settings. If Automatic Overtime is checked in the Employee-Detail profile, Web Suite automatically tags overtime entries when the total hours for the day exceed Standard Hours.
Flag 1/2/3:
When checked, they indicate that the time entry is flagged. The flags can be used to track any characteristic of the time entries that you want. Example: You can use a flag to mark time entries that are tax deductible. The label for the flags can be modified in Custom labels screen.
