Recording your time in LawVu enables you to capture the time spent engaged on particular matters.

Before you can utilize the time entries feature, ensure that you have the Record time entries permission switched on in your profile. If you do not, contact one of the LawVu administrators in your organization to get it enabled.

There are two ways to create a time entry:

Using the Create Menu: Navigate to the Create menu and click on the Time Entry button.

Using the Hub Icon: Hover over the Hub icon and select Time Entries from the dropdown menu. From there, simply click the + Add time entry button.

You can log time either for yourself or on behalf of someone else by selecting their name from the Person dropdown.

Then search for the matter you want to allocate the time to in the search bar.

Select the appropriate activity from the dropdown list. The options in this list can be edited by your administrator. Learn how to do this here.

Book the time spent against the selected matter either in time units or minutes. Note that a default unit equals six minutes. For example, we can either enter "15" in the UNIT field or "1:30" in the H: MM field.

You can also select whether the time is billable to the client or if you want to auto-post the entry to a time batch.

Alternatively, you can also add time entries from a matter as long as you are a member of that matter. Click on the clock icon from the Matter toolbar. This opens the time entries modal. Follow the same process as described previously.

When posting time entries from a matter, ensure 'auto-post entry' is enabled, as they will only reflect in the matter once they are posted.

You can make changes to already posted time entries from Hub -Time entries grid: unpost, make changes, and then re-post them.

Using the Hub Icon: Hover over the Hub icon and select Time Entries from the dropdown menu.

As the modal opens, it displays a list of your recent time entries. Use the filter dropdown in the top-left to display them on a Daily, Weekly, or Monthly basis. The arrow buttons can be used to quickly cycle through the selected viewing options (i.e. flick forwards and backward between the days or weeks).

To post to a time batch, you will need to select the individual time entries and click Post.

Once done, the status will update to Posted and will reflect in the active time batch.

To delete a time entry, go to the Hub > Time Entries and find the appropriate entry you would like to delete.

Do note that you can only delete a time entry only when the status is Entered. If the status is Posted, you need to Unpost it first, then Delete.

There are a number of different states available for time entries :
