With TimeCard appointments are tagged with information that converts them into time sheets. This way you can report time and expenses from inside your Outlook Calendar. No more double entries!
The data you report will be available in an Access database created by TimeCard on the machine where you have TimeCard installed.
You can also send each time report to an Excel datasheet.
When you have reported some time, you can study all your reported time in Excel statistics reports.
In the first part of the presentation, I will show you how you can work with TimeCard.
After that we will take a look at the TimeCard settings and then finally study the TimeCard statistics.
Welcome to the show!Peter KalmströmCEO and Systems Designerkalmstrom.com Business Solutions
