FAQs

Q. I want a quick-code to have a certain rate, for example, a quick-code for an AML check as we always charge $50.00 for this.  Can we do this?

A. Yes. A rate label can be associated with a quick-code. When the quick-code is selected, the time entry will use that rate. For more information see Creating a Rate Label
