Tabs3 – Chrometa

We have a special PC-version of Chrometa that syncs directly with Tabs3. Here are the steps to follow to download it to your PC - and hook it up with your Tabs3 account.

And we're happy to help you personally with setup. We provide complimentary installation and ongoing support. Just let us know!

Step 1 - Upgrade to Tabs 3 version 18 and Chrometa's Special Tabs3 Version

Update your Tabs3 version to the latest build of version 18
If you are already running version 18, you can get the latest build by selecting Help | Check for Updates in the Tabs3 program http://www.tabs3.com/support/update/v18upd.html
Update your Chrometa PC Time Tracker to: http://chrometa-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/chrometawin.exe

Step 2 - Create a New Chrometa-specific User ID in Tabs3

If, for example, your Tabs3 User ID is "Brett" - you should create another ID that is Chrometa-specific... such as "Brett2" or "BrettCHR" (8 letters max). And give it a password.

(You can do this via the System Configuration program.)

Then, in Chrometa (under Time - Summary) you will tell Chrometa to use this login.

This way, you'll be able to distinguish time entries imported from Chrometa versus time entries made directly in Tabs3.

Step 3 - Capture a Time Entry and Test the Export

Start Chrometa
Right click on the Chrometa icon from the system tray
Add your Tabs3 Timekeeper ID
Click on Sync with Tabs3
After the Chrometa icon stops spinning, right click on the Chrometa icon from the system tray
Click on Open Chrometa
Go to Projects
Check that your Tabs3 matters and clients are in Chrometa
Go to Time - Summary within Chrometa and categorize a time entry (from Unbilled Time) to a Tabs3 matter
Right click on the Chrometa icon from the system tray
Click on Sync with Tabs3
After the Chrometa icon stops spinning, check that the time entry has been added to Tabs3
