When you set up Abtrac we recommend you create a non-billable client for your own company, and within that client you can setup some template jobs and assign the tasks which are structured with the details of the most common types of jobs you undertake.
Once you have template job and tasks created, each time you create a new client job you can choose to Copy Tasks from the template job to the new job.
If you find that you work on the same types of jobs/projects and some of the information is the replicated from one job to another, then you can use the Clone Job/Project feature in AbtracOnline. This will simply duplicate the job and selected details and save the job to the existing jobs client.
You can setup template jobs/projects for the different types of work you do and then clone these jobs when you have a real job of the same type.
If you find that you work on the same clients and projects from one week to the next you can use a previous timesheet as a template and save some data entry. Here’s how to clone all the clients, projects, and tasks from one week to the next.

Abtrac Job/Project Templates allow you to create templates that contain information from Abtrac such as client, job/project and task details that can be intertwined with other information, such as your proposals or mail merge type documents.
How it works is you create the different report types that you use i.e. proposal, letter of engagement etc., and within those reports, you add different sections with the required information.
With the latest release in AbtracOnline, on some pages the whole screen width is now available so for people with bigger monitors you can see more information without having to scroll across the page or in some cases forgetting to scroll to see more information.
With a few simple steps, you can set yourself up so you can see what information you want to see on the device you commonly use the most.
As part of our ongoing improvements to Abtrac, the login page and other screens within Abtrac will be changing.
The main reason for the change is to enable more users to access Abtrac from a range of devices, such as your widescreen monitors and phones.
Here is an example of the new login screen on a computer monitor.
And a Mobile Phone.
It is possible to assign multiple jobs/projects to an invoice where a client has multiple jobs/projects belonging to them.
You use this feature to write off time or to create a single invoice with multiple jobs.
AbtracOnline allows you to import disbursements via two methods.
If you are using MYOB Account Right or Xero the available API connections to these systems will allow you to import your disbursements with the click of a button.
If you don’t use MYOB or Xero, or if you want to import things such as PaperCut files, Linz Fees, Uber Receipts etc., then you can import your disbursements through a file-based import.
Either way, with our import disbursement functionality you don’t have to spend hours re-keying information that you probably have available from other systems.
