ShareDo has inbuilt time recording. This time recording can be used in either or both of the following circumstances:
- Passive time recordings: time can be recorded passively i.e. without user input. Passive time capture is designed to capture management information concerning the firm’s processes. For example, using passive time capture you can understand how long a specific process, phase or activity will take and ultimately calculate the cost of delivery.
- For billing purposes: passive time capture can be extended to specific codes for the purposes of billing clients. Like other data items in ShareDo, these codes available can be “striped” according to the type of work or the phase that a case is in.
In addition to passive time capture, ShareDo support a number of other time-recording productivity features, including:
- Automatic generation of fixed units based of specific events happening in the application, e.g. production of a specific document
- Flexible time coding – time codes can be adjusted according to the context of the case
- Automatic narrative generation based on case and activity context, including the prevention of time being submitted if reserved words are present
- Stopwatches – as each activity is undertaken so stopwatches are started, paused and stopped
- Integration of time records with common time recording and PMS and billing systems
- Maintenance of time targets at both a work type level and for individuals
