| Report
Spotlight
Timeslips time
and expense slip listing reports are available in many
variations in both detail and summary form.
You
can filter these reports on virtually any criteria
imaginable and you can include billable and non-billable
items on the same report.
In addition, the slip
summary listing provides many formatting options such as
overhead, estimated time and variance,and analysis which
may be turned off to streamline the report. An option to
strongly consider if adjustments are made to bills is
billed slip value, which compares the recorded slip
value to billed slip value.
It is also possible
to develop custom slip detail reports, including only
the data elements required by the firm.
Please
contact Allen
Hardon if you need assistance with reporting or
would like to share your reporting success.
