Time Insights gives firm leadership real-time visibility into how work, billing, and revenue move through the practice. All data reflects team-wide activity (not a single user), allowing you to evaluate firm-level performance, compare roles and time periods, and spot operational trends.

Firm Owners and Admins can use these dashboards to shift from reactive reporting to proactive management — identifying billing gaps, workload imbalances, and potential revenue risk early.

To access All Insights

  1. Go to Activities in the left navigation

  2. Click Insights

  3. Select All Insights

You can also customize the dashboard by rearranging charts and selecting a reporting period.



1. Firm Billable Target Progress

The Firm Billable Target Progress chart helps firm leadership track how the firm is performing against its overall billable targets over time. It provides a clear view of expected work versus actual work completed. By highlighting performance trends and gaps early, it supports more informed staffing and planning decisions and reduces unexpected shortfalls at quarter-end or year-end.

What you’re seeing at a glance

  • Bars

    • Total Billable Time — billable work recorded across the firm for each period

    • Firm Billing Gap — remaining billable work needed to meet the target. A positive gap indicates the firm is behind target for that period

  • Line

    • Firm Billable Target — the firm’s expected billable goal for the selected period. Calculated as the sum of individual billable targets set for users by themselves or by a firm admin

  • View options

    • Switch between Hours and Amount

    • View Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually

    • Navigate to previous periods to review historical performance

How to read the chart

  1. Start with the current period.

  2. Compare the Total Billable Time bar to the Firm Billable Target line.

  3. Review the Firm Billing Gap bar to see how much work is still required.

If the Total Billable Time reaches or exceeds the target line, the firm is on track for that period.

You can click values in the chart to drill down and analyze performance further:

  • Firm Billable Target / Firm Billing Gap

    • Timekeeper

    • Timekeeper Title

  • Total Billable Time

    • Client

    • Matter

    • Matter Originating Timekeeper

    • Matter Responsible Timekeeper

    • Timekeeper

    • Timekeeper Title

    • Practice Area

    • Matter Type (Pipeline)

How to use this chart

  • Monitor firm-wide progress toward billable targets

  • Identify early warning signs when billing gaps begin to grow

  • Determine whether gaps are driven by roles, practice areas, clients, or specific matters

  • Rebalance workload, staffing, or targets proactively to stay on track


2. Firm Time Performance Overview

The Firm Time Performance Overview chart provides a firm-wide perspective on how your team’s time is spent and how effectively that time converts into billable work. It helps leadership understand overall workload, the balance between billable and non-billable activity, and whether firm utilization is improving or declining over time.

What you’re seeing at a glance

  • Stacked bars

    • Show the firm’s total recorded time

    • Split into Total Billable and Total Non-Billable time

  • Line

    • Displays the Firm Utilization Rate (%) — the percentage of recorded time that is billable. Higher utilization means more of the firm’s effort converts into revenue

  • View controls

    • Toggle between Hours and Amount

    • View data Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually

    • Navigate to previous periods

This view allows you to evaluate both workload volume and billing efficiency at the firm level.

How to read the chart

  1. Review the overall height of each bar to understand the firm’s total workload for the selected period.

  2. Compare the billable and non-billable portions within the bar to evaluate how time is allocated.

  3. Follow the utilization line to identify efficiency trends over time.

A rising utilization trend typically indicates that more of the firm’s effort is translating into billable value.

You can also click a value to drill down and analyze performance by:

  • Client

  • Matter

  • Timekeeper or Timekeeper Title

  • Responsible or Originating Attorney

  • Practice Area

  • Matter Type (Pipeline)

This helps identify which roles, teams, or practice areas are influencing utilization.

How to use the chart

  • Monitor firm-wide utilization regularly

  • Detect increases in non-billable work early

  • Compare performance across roles, teams, or practice areas

  • Use trends to guide staffing, delegation, and workflow decisions

By providing a single firm-wide view of time efficiency, the chart helps balance billable and operational workload, supports data-driven staffing and resourcing decisions, and improves long-term revenue performance through better utilization.


3. Firm Billable Value Breakdown

This chart shows how the firm’s recorded billable work converts into billed revenue over time. It helps leadership understand how much work is being generated, how much has already been invoiced, what remains unbilled, and whether discounts are reducing realized value.

What you’re seeing at a glance

Each bar represents the firm’s total billable work for a selected period and is divided into:

  • Firm Billable Time — total billable work recorded across the firm

  • Firm Invoiced Time — portion of that work already invoiced

  • Firm Uninvoiced Time (WIP) — billable work still waiting to be invoiced

  • Firm Discounts — reductions applied to billed amounts

View options

  • Switch between Hours and Amount

  • View data Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually

  • Navigate to previous periods to review trends

This allows you to evaluate both effort (time) and financial impact (revenue).

How to read the chart

  1. Start with Firm Billable Time to understand total work generated.

  2. Compare it with Firm Invoiced Time to see how much has converted into invoices.

  3. Review Firm Uninvoiced Time to identify pending revenue (WIP).

  4. Watch discounts, which reduce realized billable value.

Large uninvoiced portions or increasing discounts may indicate billing delays or potential revenue risk.

You can drill down from any value to analyze performance by:

  • Client

  • Matter

  • Timekeeper or Title

  • Responsible or Originating Attorney

  • Practice Area

  • Matter Type (Pipeline)

This helps identify where invoicing delays occur, which matters generate the most WIP, and where discounts are frequently applied.

How to use this chart

  • Monitor how efficiently billable work turns into invoices

  • Identify invoicing backlogs before they impact cash flow

  • Review discounts to understand potential revenue leakage

  • Use drill-downs to assign follow-ups to the appropriate teams or matters

This chart is especially useful during monthly billing reviews and financial planning. It connects operational work directly to revenue outcomes, highlights invoicing delays early, improves visibility into the impact of discounts, and supports more accurate financial forecasting and cash-flow planning


4. Firm Uninvoiced WIP Aging

This chart shows how much billable work across the firm has not yet been invoiced and how long that work has been outstanding. It helps you determine how much revenue is currently sitting in WIP, how old the uninvoiced work is, and which portions may be becoming risky due to delays.

What you’re seeing at a glance

Each bar represents uninvoiced billable work across the firm, grouped by how long it has been outstanding.

Aging buckets

  • 0–30 days — recently completed work not yet billed

  • 31–60 days — work beginning to age

  • 61–90 days — work at higher billing risk

  • 90+ days — long-outstanding work that may face collection or write-off risk

Total Uninvoiced WIP shows the full firm-wide amount of uninvoiced billable work, regardless of age.

View controls

  • Switch between Hours and Amount to evaluate operational effort versus financial exposure

Measures

  • WIP Aging: Breaks uninvoiced work into aging buckets based on how long it has been outstanding

  • Total Uninvoiced WIP: The total billable work across the firm that has not yet been invoiced

All values represent firm-level WIP rather than individual users.

How to read the chart

  1. Start with Total Uninvoiced WIP to understand the overall billing backlog.

  2. Review how much of that total falls into older aging buckets.

  3. Focus especially on 61–90 days and 90+ days, as these represent higher-risk work.

Large values in older buckets may indicate invoicing delays, workflow bottlenecks, or a higher likelihood of disputed or uncollected revenue.

The chart is interactive. You can drill down from any aging bucket or the total WIP to analyze uninvoiced work by:

  • Client

  • Matter

  • Matter Originating Timekeeper

  • Matter Responsible Timekeeper

  • Timekeeper

  • Timekeeper Title

  • Practice Area

  • Matter Type (Pipeline)

This deeper view helps leadership identify which teams or roles carry high uninvoiced WIP, which matters are stalled in billing, and whether certain practice areas are experiencing systematic delays.

How to use this chart

  • Monitor WIP aging during regular billing cycles

  • Prioritize invoicing for older WIP first

  • Identify systemic delays by practice area or team

  • Assign follow-ups to responsible timekeepers or billing staff

This chart is especially useful for monthly billing reviews, cash-flow forecasting, and process improvement discussions.

By making billing delays visible, the chart helps prevent revenue from sitting in WIP for too long, reduces the risk of write-offs and billing disputes, improves billing discipline across the firm, and supports healthier, more predictable cash flow.


5. Top X Matters Pending Invoicing

The chart provides immediate visibility into high-value unbilled work, helping reduce delayed or disputed invoices and improve billing turnaround time. Encouraging timely invoicing and follow-up supports healthier and more predictable revenue flow across the firm.


What you’re seeing at a glance

The chart displays a ranked list of matters sorted by the highest uninvoiced billable amount. For each matter you can view:

  • Matter Name (clickable)

  • Matter Status (Open, Closed, etc.)

  • Client (clickable)

  • Billing Timekeeper

  • Unbilled Hours

  • Unbilled Amount

  • Last Time Recorded (most recent activity on the matter)

  • Oldest Unbilled Age (Days) (how long the oldest unbilled entry has been waiting)

By default, the list shows the top matters with the highest uninvoiced billable value for the selected time period.

How to read this chart

  1. Begin at the top of the list — these matters have the most revenue waiting to be billed.

  2. Review Unbilled Amount to understand financial impact.

  3. Check Oldest Unbilled Age (Days) to identify billing risk.

  4. Use Last Time Recorded to determine whether the matter is active or stalled.

Matters with both high unbilled value and high age should be prioritized for billing review.

Navigation and interaction

  • Click a Matter Name to open the Matter details.

  • Click a Client Name to open the Client profile.

From there, you can review time entries, prepare invoices, and coordinate billing follow-ups directly.

  1. Click the three-dot (⋯) menu in the top-right corner of the chart.

  2. Select the number of matters to display (for example: Top 5, Top 10, or Top 20).
    This allows you to either focus on the highest-risk matters or review a broader set of pending billing items.

How to use this chart

  • Use it during weekly or monthly billing reviews

  • Assign follow-ups to billing staff or responsible timekeepers

  • Identify matters where billing is consistently delayed

  • Monitor whether large WIP balances are being cleared on time


6. Top X Utilized Timekeepers

This chart provides a firm-wide view of which timekeepers are using their available time most effectively. It measures how much of each user’s target workload is converting into billable work, helping leadership quickly see who is exceeding or falling short of expectations, whether work is evenly distributed across the team, and where staffing or capacity adjustments may be needed.

What you’re seeing at a glance

This is a ranked list of timekeepers, ordered by Utilization (%).
For each timekeeper, the chart shows:

  • Rank – position based on utilization

  • Timekeeper – user name

  • Utilization (%) – how efficiently their time converts into billable work.

    • Calculated as: Billable Hours ÷ Target Hours × 100

    • A value above 100% means the timekeeper exceeded their target

  • Billable Hours – Actual billable work logged in the selected period

  • Target Hours – billable target set for that timekeeper

Significant differences between billable hours and target hours may indicate workload imbalance.

How to read the chart

  • Start with Utilization (%) to identify over- or under-utilized timekeepers

  • Compare Billable Hours vs Target Hours to understand the reason for the variance

  • Pay attention to extremes:

    • Very high utilization → may indicate overload or burnout risk

    • Very low utilization → may indicate under-allocation or workflow gaps

This chart is intended to evaluate capacity and workload balance, not just productivity.

Personalizing this chart

You can choose how many timekeepers appear in the ranking.

  • Click the three-dot (⋯) menu in the top-right corner of the chart

  • Select the number of users to display (for example: Top 5, Top 10, or Top 20)

This lets you either focus on the most extreme utilization cases or review a broader portion of the team.

Your selection applies only to your personal view of the chart.

How to use this chart

  • Review regularly during staffing and workload planning

  • Identify team members who may need:

    • Support

    • Additional work allocation

  • Track whether utilization balances improve over time

  • Use alongside practice-area or matter-level insights for deeper analysis

    This view highlights workload imbalance across the firm and helps prevent both burnout and underutilization. By making capacity issues visible early, it supports fairer distribution of work and improves overall operational efficiency.


7. Bottom X Utilized Timekeepers

The Bottom X Utilized Timekeepers chart shows which timekeepers have the lowest utilization during the selected period, meaning they are converting the smallest portion of their target hours into billable work. It helps leadership identify under-utilized team members, detect possible workflow or assignment gaps, and recognize where work distribution or staffing adjustments may be needed.


What you’re seeing at a glance

The chart displays a ranked list of timekeepers ordered from lowest to higher utilization.

For each timekeeper, the chart shows:

  • Rank – position based on lowest utilization

  • Timekeeper – user name

  • Utilization (%) – how efficiently time converts into billable work
    Calculated as Billable Hours ÷ Target Hours × 100

    Lower values indicate under-utilization

  • Billable Hours – actual billable work recorded

  • Target Hours – expected billable workload

The chart updates according to the selected time period (monthly, quarterly, or annually) and allows navigation to previous periods.
Large gaps between billable and target hours may suggest uneven work distribution.

How to read the chart

  1. Start with Utilization (%) to identify under-utilized timekeepers

  2. Compare Billable Hours vs Target Hours to see the size of the shortfall

  3. Look for consistently low utilization across multiple periods, which may indicate:

    • Lack of assignments

    • Workflow bottlenecks

    • Skill or staffing mismatches

This chart highlights capacity gaps rather than performance quality.

How to use this chart

  • Review regularly during staffing and capacity planning

  • Identify team members who may need:

    • More work allocation, or

    • Process support to improve billable output

  • Track whether utilization improves after workload changes

  • Use together with Top X Utilized Timekeepers to balance workloads across the firm


8. Billable by Practice Area

This chart displays how the firm’s billable work is distributed across different practice areas during the selected time period. It helps leadership see which practice areas generate the most billable work, which may be underperforming, and how overall workload is spread across the firm’s service lines.

What you’re seeing at a glance

Each bar represents total billable work for a practice area during the selected period.

  • X-axis → Practice Areas (e.g., Family, Civil, Bankruptcy, Antitrust, etc.)

  • Y-axis → Billable work measured by Hours or Amount

  • Each bar shows how much billable work was recorded in that practice area

View controls

  • Switch between Hours and Amount

  • View data Monthly, Quarterly, or Annually

  • Navigate to previous periods

This allows you to analyze both workload trends and revenue contribution by practice area.

Billable by Practice Area represents the total billable time or monetary value recorded for matters assigned to each practice area, aggregated across the entire firm. It reflects where the firm’s billable effort is actually being spent.

How to read the chart

  1. Compare the height of the bars to quickly identify which practice areas generate the most billable work.

  2. Look for patterns:

    • High bars → strong-performing practice areas

    • Consistently low bars → areas with limited billable activity

  3. Review multiple periods (monthly, quarterly, annually) to identify:

    • Growing practices

    • Declining or seasonal trends

Significant differences between practice areas may indicate changes in client demand or a mismatch in staffing and resource allocation.

You can drill down from any practice area to analyze billable work by:

  • Client

  • Matter

  • Matter Originating Timekeeper

  • Matter Responsible Timekeeper

  • Timekeeper

  • Timekeeper Title

  • Practice Area

  • Matter Type (Pipeline)

This allows leadership to understand:

  • Which clients and matters drive each practice area

  • Whether performance depends on specific timekeepers

  • How different pipelines contribute to firm revenue

How to use this chart

  • Evaluate the performance of each practice area during billing reviews

  • Identify practice areas that may need:

    • More staffing, or

    • Business development focus

  • Support decisions on hiring, marketing, and resource allocation
