Adding a New Docket

1. Click "+ NEW DOCKET" in the top-right corner of the Time Recorder.

2. Fill in the docket details — Client, Matter, task, status, rate, hours, fees, etc.

   tip

   The rate is automatically pulled from the selected matter, so you don't need to enter it manually.

3. Click "ADD DOCKET" below the description field to save.

Working with Active Timers

Professional users can run multiple timers simultaneously. Active timers appear in the top bar of eQ+ — click any timer to make it your primary.

Each active timer has three controls:

Button	What It Does
EDIT TIME	Adjust the elapsed time (e.g. change 2 minutes to 2 hours)
EDIT DOCKET	Modify the client, matter, and other docket fields
SET	Stop the timer and commit the docket to the database

When you click "SET", the time is rounded up based on your firm's settings, the timer is removed from the top bar, and the docket is finalized.
