00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.356
Time on specs.

2
00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:10.540
Writing a good specification takes time, and it’s worth knowing how much, both for this job and for pricing the next one.

3
00:00:10.674 --> 00:00:14.523
On any item, open its Time tab and press Time this item.

4
00:00:14.645 --> 00:00:20.208
Your timer starts on the project as specification writing, with the item named.

5
00:00:20.427 --> 00:00:23.916
It runs on the server, so closing the tab won’t lose it.

6
00:00:24.020 --> 00:00:29.283
When you’re done, stop and save, and the item shows everyone’s time on it so far.

7
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:36.538
The hours land on your timesheet, where you can also type them in, or use start and end times.

8
00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:42.768
The project’s Time tab adds them up: the specification writing on the job, and the hours on each item.

9
00:00:43.048 --> 00:00:51.036
And the hours report, by item or by project, shows how long each job’s specs really took, for quoting the next one.

10
00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:59.603
And if you bill by the hour, Invoice these hours turns the billable time into a draft invoice, priced by each person’s rate.

11
00:00:59.803 --> 00:01:01.628
That’s time on specs.

00:01:01.863 --> 00:01:06.541
