  3. To select entries for bulk editing, you have two options:

    1. Individual Entries: Click on the Checkbox located just before the date.

    2. All Entries: Use the checkbox at the top of the list to select all entries.

  4. Once you've selected the desired time entries, click on Edit Time Entries button to proceed to the bulk editing interface.
    ​

  5. In the Bulk Editing Interface, you can now modify the following fields for the selected time entries:

    1. Date: Adjust the date associated with the time entries.

    2. Rate per Hour: Modify the hourly rate for the selected entries.

    3. Matter: Change the matter (case or project) associated with the time entries.

    4. Attorney: Update the attorney assigned to the entries.

    5. Billing Type: Update the billing type to either billable/non-billable or preserve the current billing type.

  7. After making the necessary modifications, click the Update button to apply the changes to all the selected time entries. The edited values will be reflected across all the entries you chose.

Important Notes:

  • Remember that bulk editing is irreversible, and there is no option to undo the changes once applied. It's advisable to exercise caution and consider downloading a report before performing any bulk editing actions to safeguard your data.

  • Please note that time entries already invoiced cannot be edited in bulk. Ensure you review entries before invoicing to avoid the need for subsequent edits.

  • The bulk editing feature exclusively applies to time entries and is not available for other types of activities within Lawcus.

This streamlined process simplifies the task of modifying time entries, allowing for accurate and efficient time keeping within your platform.
