Enter time in the timesheet grid

LiveFor: All staff

Spreadsheet-style entry for the whole week with the keyboard.

The grid is the quickest way to put in a week’s time without touching the mouse.

  1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T from anywhere in BMS, or Add Row on your timesheet. The cursor lands in the blank row at the bottom of the grid.

  2. In Client / Work, start typing a client or job and choose it.

  3. In Task, type a task code or name; Role is optional.

  4. Type hours into a day, such as 1:30 or 1.5. Tab moves across to the next day, Enter moves down, and the last row adds a new one.

  5. Add a Comment if the entry needs one.

The timesheet grid with five rows and a blank row at the bottom reading Add a row: search clients, Code or task and Role.
The blank row at the bottom starts a new line.

Each cell saves as you leave it; Rate and Charge fill in from your firm’s rates. The bin at the end of a row deletes it.

Still need help?

Ask your firm's BMS admin first: they can see your access level and your firm's settings. Clients of a firm should contact their accountant.
