How do I group my clients by category?
Select Setup, Custom Fields. At the Client tab click New and add a new field called Category. Select List as the field type. The Attributes window will open. You may make it a required field by checking the box “This is a required field.” Click New to add categories to the the list.

How to I "write-off" a client's balance?
A write-off is a specific type of transaction in Timeslips that reduces a client’s balance. See this handout on Timeslips Transaction Types for a fuller description and a description of all other types of transactions available in Timeslips.
How do we charge a client a flat fee?
Several types of Flat Fee Arrangement are available in Timeslips. These steps are for an Absolute Flat Fee where the client will be charged a fixed amount without regard to the value of the time slips.
Go to Client Information for that client. Select Arrangement and pick Absolute Flat fee.
Click the Edit button to enter the amount and the number of bills for which you want to charge the flat fee. Use Perpetual to charge the fee every month, Number of Bills to set a number of months, and Job to charge the fee once for the entire job.
With the Job option, you’ll need to set the status to Completed when the job is done and you want to go back to regular hourly billing.
