Preferences: Hourly billing
Enable hourly billing by: TimeCache gives you three options for how you charge for your time. You can set hourly billing rates by the activity, by the client or by the project/matter. Billing by activity is the default and requires no action on your part. To enable billing by Client or Project rates, check this box.

Client/Project: To set TimeCache to use Client or Project billing rates, choose one of these options. Highlight the radio button that corresponds to your choice. If you choose Client, you'll need to enter a billing rate for each client, and likewise for Projects if you choose Project. In either case, you can still use other hourly billing categories as well.

Your choice of hourly billing affects the information required for Client or Project listings. You will want to set this option before entering data in a TimeCache file to make sure you enter the correct types of information for your listings.

Name for billing rate: If you choose Client or Project hourly billing rates, enter a default billing rate name in this text entry area. This is the name that will appear on screen and in reports in Billing Category columns.

Calendar shortcut: You can add an optional shortcut to use for entering your time in iCal. See Entering time from iCal for more information on importing time from iCal.
