Settings — Time Tracking

The Settings ▸ Time Tracking page sets your organization’s defaults for the running timer and billable time entries. It is admin-only (Owner / Admin). These are org-wide defaults; an individual timekeeper’s billing rate is configured separately.

Rounding

Choose an increment (e.g. 6 minutes = 1/10 hour, the common legal-billing unit) and a mode:

Mode	Effect
Up	Always round tracked time up to the next increment
Down	Round down
Nearest	Round to the closest increment

Set the increment to Off to record exact tracked time (the default). Rounding applies to every time entry — both when a running timer is stopped and when time is logged manually in hours + minutes. The Log-time form previews the result as “tracked → billed” so it is always clear what will be billed.

Other defaults

• Auto-stop previous timer — when on, starting a new timer automatically stops (and logs) any timer already running, instead of blocking you.
• Default activity — the activity type pre-selected on new timers and time entries (Document review / Task / Other).
• Require a memo — when on, every time entry must have a memo describing the work before it can be saved.

What this page does not set

The rate a timekeeper bills at is configured separately — through their rate matrix × rate class, with the per-matter default living on each matter’s Staff tab.

Symptom	Most likely cause	Fix
Billed time differs from tracked time	A rounding increment is set	Expected — check the “tracked → billed” preview, or set increment to Off
New timer blocked while another runs	Auto-stop previous timer is off	Turn it on, or stop the running timer first
Time entry won’t save	Require-a-memo is on and the memo is empty	Add a memo
