TimeReport is a weekly time sheet program for Palm. The program keeps track of
the time you have spent on different projects or tasks. To enter a time for a
project, simply tap on the project and day and enter the time.
Installing
Use HotSync to install the file TimeReport.prc on your Palm handheld. The first
time you start the TimeReport program after an upgrade the TimeReport database
is be sorted. If you have a very large database this may take a few seconds.
Using TimeReport
When you use the program for the first time you should define some tasks. Tap the
"Edit Task" button and the "New" button to open a task dialog window. You can now
enter a name for a task. The name will be shown in the left most column in the
week view. You can also enter some more information for the task, a company name,
status code, art code and project number. The status code is used to calculate
separate week sums for the "F" tasks and "IF" tasks. The information in the other
fields are currently not used, but in the future the information will be
transferred to a PC during a HotSync operation.
The week view
You can now start reporting time. Tap in the left most column in the week view to
insert a task. A popup menu appears there you can select a task. If you normally
reports time on the same tasks each week it may be convenient to let the program
automatically insert the tasks in left most column. Select "Save as Default Week"
in the Options menu to save the current week as a template for all new weeks.
You can switch week by a tapping on the week arrows or pressing the scroll
buttons. It is also possible to go directly to a week. Tap on the "Go to..."
button and select a week. Use the small scroll arrows to scroll the rows and
columns in the time table.
To enter a time for a task, simply tap in the cell for a day and a task. A time
dialog box appears where you can enter a time.
Time dialog box
In the time dialog box you can enter the time for a task. Enter the work period
and optionally a lunch period and the program will show the total time in hours
and minutes below. Before the total time entered in the week view it is rounded
to nearest half hour. In the preferences dialog you can select to round the time
do nearest 6, 12, 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
The start and stop button may be used to insert the current time as the start or
end time for the work period.
It is also possible to make a quick entry of a time by tapping on one of the
buttons with a predefined time at the bottom of the dialog box. You can change
the values of the quick entry buttons in the Preferences dialog.
The month view
It is also possible to view all times reported for a month. Tap on the month
symbol in the lower left corner to open the month view. This view shows the total
time for each task and week during a month. Highlighted weeks are full weeks. The
first and last week in a month is normally not a full week.
You can switch month by a tapping on the month arrows or pressing the scroll
buttons. It is also possible to go directly to a month. Tap on the "Go to..."
button and select a month.
Tap on a week number to open the week view for the selected week.
Exporting data
Currently there are no conduits for synchronizing the TimeReport program with a
PC program. The only way to export data is to create a memo in the PalmPilot.
Select "Export Week to Memo" or "Export Month to Memo" in the "Record" menu to
create a memo for the displayed week or month.
If you have the Palm programs PalmPrint or SDS Mail you can also print or email
the data from TimeReport. Select "Print Week" or "Mail Week" in the "Record" menu
to print or mail a week. SDS Mail requires a working internet connection as well.

30 days you must pay the shareware fee if you want to continue to use the
