How to Easily Bill Every Billable Second, Minute, and Hour

t's nearly impossible to accurately track your billable time with only a start/stop timer. You're probably bouncing from email to phone call in rapid fire mode. The last thing you want to worry about is timekeeping, especially if you switch from one client to another as you reply to email messages. The solution is a timekeeping product that runs in the background of your PC, Mac, and/or smartphone, quietly making note of your activities.

Please watch our webcast with partner Rocket Matter — How to Easily Bill Every Billable Second, Minute, and Hour — in which we'll show how using this software makes the impossible possible.

Going forward, you use this Sync button within Chrometa to makes sure that your project list is in sync with what you have in Rocket Matter.  Just click it after you make changes within Rocket Matter to assure both project lists are in tandem.

(No existing Chrometa projects will be overwritten - new projects are only appended - so you don't need to worry about accidentally overwriting your existing Chrometa project list.)

Exporting Your Chrometa Timesheet to Rocket Matter

Once you have your Timesheet completed, you can export it to Rocket Matter with a single click.  (More on Chrometa Timesheets here).

To export your entire Timesheet, click the Export to Rocket Matter button located to the right of the Timesheet header:

Your time entries will be ported over to Rocket Matter, with the Annotation field from Chrometa becoming the Description in Rocket Matter.  (More on Annotations here).

All time entries sent to Rocket Matter are appended to your list of Billable Activity for each matter.  We do not replace any entries that already exist in Rocket Matter.
