The Create a Time Entry toolbox item allows you to automatically generate time entries for specific users as part of a workflow. This feature is designed to handle complex time-keeping structures by adapting to your specific time categories and classifications.

Common Uses

• Automated Task Completion Recording
  When a specific task within a workflow is marked as complete, the system can automatically generate a time entry for the user who completed it. 
  Example: Automatically recording 15 minutes of "Review" time when a senior lawyer approves a document via a workflow transition.
• Standardised Activity Logging
  For high-volume, repetitive work where the duration is always the same, this tool ensures consistent time coding without burdening the fee earner. 
  Example: Logging a fixed 6-minute "File Opening" entry once a new instruction work item is successfully validated and moved to an "Active" state. 
• Event-Driven Time Capture
  Time can be captured based on system events rather than manual "start/stop" timers. 
  Example: Creating a time entry using the Start Time of an inbound communication (like a received email or portal message) to record the administrative time spent processing that item.
