The documentation for MyoClocker will be written in the near future.
Until then this readme file will highlight some of the less obvious features.
1. Right click in the lists to bring up popup menus for quicker access to
functions like insert, delete and edit.
2. Pressing the Insert, Delete or Enter keys will insert a new record,
delete the selected record or edit the selected record respectively
while in a list.
3. The consulant that you select on the Project screen is simply the default
consultant for the work done on that. That consultant does not have to be
the only one who does work for that project.
4. Standard rate is the default billing rate for the project. This can be
overridden in the Task screen.
5. Active fields hide the records without deleteing them when Active Only
is selected from the View menu.
6. For those of you not familiar with accounting terms, posting invoices
and time sheets is the process that builds the invoices or time sheets
for a specified date range.
7. You cannot delete anything that is related to a posted invoice or time
sheet.
8. Posting the same date range or overlapping date ranges will not result
the same work showing up twice on two different time sheets or invoices.
9. Cancelling an invoice is equivalent to deleting it.
10. A work record is posted to an invoice or time sheet when it's end date
falls within the specified dates.
11. BEFORE POSTING INVOICES THIS MUST BE DONE: On the Configuration screen,
the Lead Consultant is the consultant whose name and address show up on
the invoices. This doesn not have to be a real person but instead you
could make up a fake consultant with the name of your company instead
of a person's name.
12. BEFORE POSTING INVOICES THIS MUST BE DONE: On the Configuration screen,
the Invoice Type is the way in which the detail on the invoices are
summarized. For example, use the following structure. And suppose each
task has a total of 5 hours of work underneath it.
Joe's Donut Company (Client)
Human Resources System (Project)
Programming (Task)
Documentation (Task)
Accounting System (Project)
Programming (Task)
Documentation (Task)
Here is examples of how the detail on the invoices would print out for
each of the invoice types
