Timeslips’ options affect how pre-bills, bills and reports will display data, as well as which data to include.   Every report has an OPTIONS button and a GLOBAL OPTIONS button:

Options buttons in Timeslips

The GLOBAL OPTIONS button affect all reports in the program.  Specify whether reports show the monetary symbol in current fields and thousand separators in numbers.

The OPTIONS buttons in each report control different choices.  The following screen-shot is of the Options page under “Generate Bills”.

Options button - Generate Bills

As you use Timeslips and run reports, remember to click the OPTIONS button to see what choices are available to customize your report.

Timeslips is not an aircraft nor is it a missile.  But it does have a navigator and as a Timeslips user, you can choose which type of navigator you prefer.    The two main types of navigators are:

Enhanced Mode:

Classic Mode:

If you have been using Timeslips forever, you probably prefer the Classic style.  If you are new to Timeslips, the default is the Enhanced Navigator.

SETTING THE NAVIGATOR PREFERENCE:

To specify which navigator you prefer, click on the very top menu bar “SETUP” and then click  ”PREFERENCES” .  There is a tab in Preferences for Navigator.  Select the mode and then from there, choose the template you prefer.  If using the Enhanced mode, it is more efficient to check the box to “Use Navigators Locally”.

Each user can choose their own navigator.  Try the various options … which navigator do you prefer?

Older versions of Timeslips also kept log files. Here are some examples of log files:

• BillAud.log:  If your firm uses electronic billing, this log file reports the errors (and successes) when exporting files to the electronic bill house
• Emaillog.txt:  This log file provides a report of all bills and statements sent via email.
• Dberrlog.txt:  Have you ever run data verification and forgotten to save the results, only to have to re-run it?  This log file contains the result of the most recently run data verification
• Convstatuslog.txt:  When Timeslips was upgraded, a conversion report is prepared and saved as convstatuslog.txt
• DocAccess.txt:  Bills and statements printed to file are documented in this report

These same logs are available in prior versions of Timeslips.  They are saved in the local workstation copy of Timeslips (usually c:\program files\timeslips).

Another little “Timeslips tidbit” for you!

It is my opinion that there are two types of people (in the world of data entry):

Mouse People vs. Keyboard People

In the process of writing this, I found a great blog discussing which is better (http://gigaom.com/collaboration/mouse-vs-keyboard-the-great-divide/).

For those of us who are keyboard people, Timeslips has some wonderful shortcuts to speed up data entry.   Here are a few of my favorites:

How can you find keyboard shortcuts?

1. From the HELP … ONLINE USERS GUIDE search “Keyboard”
2. Right-click on a slip list or transactions list or client list

For all of us who prefer the keyboard, I hope you learned something in this post.

This is one of those little known “tricks” to Timeslips.  There is a way to move the cursor to a specific field using the “Jump To” setup in slip preferences.

There are 2 types of data entry people:  Mouse and Keyboard.  Most people prefer one or the other.  This post has some extra special hints for those of us who are “Keyboard” people.

“Mouse ” people click in a field, enter their information, and then click the next field.  Keyboard people, on the other hand, press the “TAB” key to move to the next field.  Timeslips has the ability to move through the fields in a specific order.  It also has the ability to JUMP to a specific field by pressing F7 on the keyboard.

From the top menu click SETUP … PREFERENCES and highlight the “Movement Rules” on the Slips tab.  From there, it is possible to move the fields up or down in the order in which a user would “Tab” through the fields.

JUMP gives the user the ability to press F7 while in a slip, to jump to the next field with the check-mark in the “Jump” box.

Slip Movement Rules

It is also possible to assign “Hot Keys”.  For example, pressing Control and the letter “D” moves the cursor to the Description box.

When finished defining your own personal preferences, remember to click the “Save As…” button at the bottom (probably a safer bet to use your mouse for this… not the keyboard).  Everyone should have their own preference file either saved with their own initials, or saved on their local “C” drive.
