Yes, Laurel creates a separate entry on Timesheet for each activity you've assigned from your Timeline. This gives you full control over your entries, allowing you to bill your time in one of three ways:

  1. Bill for each item separately

  2. Select activities you'd like to merge manually

  3. Select a billing style to automatically merge your activities

Manually Merging

On Timesheet, select the entries you wish to merge. Click the β€˜Merge’ button in the bottom right-hand corner or tap β€˜m’ on your keyboard. This will combine the duration of each entry together and round to the nearest billing increment. If the descriptions of each entry are different, they will be listed and separated by a semi colon. The number in the parenthesis of your resulting entry will tell you the total number of activities that make up the entry.

Auto-Merging using Billing Styles

Use the stack icon to automatically merge your activities in 3 ways.

  1. Block Billing - Merge all entries to bill a single line item per matter

  2. Activity Billing - Merge all entries of the same activity type for each matter (one entry for all emails, one entry for all documents, etc.)

  3. Session Billing - Merge entries that happened consecutively, as long as there were no breaks longer than 12 minutes
