Any Users and Case Workers

You can time record in several different ways within Osprey. If you are looking to record time on your Matters using the Osprey Approach app, please go to the guide at the bottom of the page.

Viewing Today’s Summary

You can view the total time, value and units if time you have recorded today at any time by looking at the top of the screen.

Posting a Time entry

With your required client loaded, click the Time Recording tab to navigate to the Time Ledger.

Here you will have the option to either post a single time entry or multiple time entries.

Upon clicking Single Entry, you will be able to enter your posting details and click Post to post to the time ledger, or Save and Print to post to the time ledger and create a printable copy of the time posting.

You also have the option to post multiple entries if you wish. Upon clicking this, the time posting screen will list all of the available remuneration types – In the below example, we can see that there are three available for this particular worktype.

Simply fill these in as you normally would and then click the Post button.

Accessing the Time Ledger

After posting time, users will be returned to the time ledger.

If you need to revisit the time ledger, simply click the time Time Recording heading in the navigation panel.

Printing the Time Ledger

A printable copy of the ledger can be produced by selecting print, entering any filters if required, then clicking Run.

A preview window will appear, allowing the user to export the report to PDF, CSV or XLS

Undoing a Time Posting

To undo a posting, click the Undo icon. A confirmation screen will appear.

Timers

Timers allow users to accurately record how long they spend on a specific time, i.e. an online meeting or a telephone call, and can always be easily accessed.

To toggle the timer, click the Timer icon at the top right of the page.
