Introduction to the List
Manager
The TimeCache List Manager is where you can create, edit delete and
otherwise manage the lists you use to enter data in
TimeCache.
It gives you access to Client, Project/Matter, Billing category,
Markup, and Note glossary listings. For more information on the
specific types of listings that TimeCache uses, see details in the
TimeCache Listings section of TimeCache
Help.
To show the List Manager panel, choose , or click the List Manager
button in the toolbar.
Depending on which panel you're
viewing, the List Manager may offer different options
List columns
You can change the column widths in the List Manager panel by
dragging the column separators in the list header. If you lose a
column after resizing the List Manager panel, you can set the
columns to default values by Option-double clicking the list
header.
Managing the List Manager
There is a Hide Marked checkbox at the
top-right of the List Manager section that lets you hide any
listings that are checked in the leftmost column of each listing
type's list. Each listing type's "Hide" status is independent of
the others, so for example you could hide some Project listings
without hiding any other listing type if you wanted to. When you
hide a listing type in the List Manager, those checked listings no
longer appear elsewhere in the application.
There is also a Help button, with the
? icon, in the upper right corner. It
opens TimeCache Help to the List Manager section.
At the bottom left of the List Manager section is a group of four
buttons. The leftmost button with the gear icon displays a menu of
actions that can change depending on the
content of the current List Manager list. To its right is the "Add"
button with the "+" icon, which lets
you add listings. To its right is the
"Delete" button with the "—" icon,
which lets you delete listings. Finally,
there is an "Edit" button with a pencil icon, which lets you
edit the properties of any listing.
In the screenshot above, the Project listings sub-panel displays a
couple of additional elements. There is a Standard Hourly Rate field that displays a billing
rate for the selected project because this user's preferences are
set to include a per-project standard billing
category. To its right is an Edit
button for editing just the billing rate. Below those billing rate
items is a popup menu that lets you filter the list by Client in
order to see projects only for one Client, or for all as in this
case. Finally there is a View button which takes you to the Job
Sheet for the selected listing.
