Preferences: Retainer billing options
The settings on this panel let you customize how TimeCache displays information when billing against a retainer.

Text color for items applied to a retainer: Lets you set the color to be used in the Daily Log and Job Sheet panels to show entries that have been applied to a retainer.

Text color for retainer total warnings: Lets you set the color to be used in the Project Information view on Job Sheets to alert you that you're nearing the threshold you set for the retainer total on a project/matter (see below).

To change the color for either of the items above, click the rectangle showing the current color and choose a color in the Color Picker that appears, then click OK.

Threshold for retainer total warnings: Lets you set the point at which TimeCache warns you (with the color you choose in the item above) that charges applied to a project's retainer are nearing the retainer amount. For example, if you'd like to know when you've got $300.00 or less before you reach the retainer total, type 300 in this box. In addition to showing the retainer balance in the Project Information area of the Job Sheet in your warning color, TimeCache also displays a red exclamation mark (!) next to the total charges on any Job Sheets where the amount billed against a retainer has exceeded your threshold.
