Installation Help:

Installation of an OS X Dashboard Widget couldn’t be easier. You’ll want to download the zip file of the widget from the Widget Page. Once downloaded, double click the file and it will be de-compressed and you will see the widget icon appear. Double click this icon and Finder will ask you if you would like to install the widget. Tell it yes and your dashboard will appear. At this point the dashboard should have automatically added the widget, if not, you can click the plus symbol in the lower left corner, find the NeoInvoice widget icon, and drag it into your dashboard area.

Congratulations, you’ve installed the NeoInvoice Time Tracking Widget! Feel free to drag and drop it around in your Dashboard.

Account Sign-In Help:

Assuming you’ve got the dashboard widget installed and have created an account, you’ll want to follow the next simple steps to sign into your account:

1. Click the gear icon in the lower right corner of the widget to open the config screen
2. Click in the username field and type your username
3. Click in the password field and type your password
4. Click the login button to the right of the password field

At this point you will get a message either saying you were successfully logged in and that your projects and worktypes were downloaded, or that there was an error logging in.
If you have successfully logged in you can continue to the Configuration Help section. If you have forgotten your password, you can visit the password reset page.

Configuration Help:

While on the Configuration screen (clicked the little gear in the lower right corner), you are able to set three different settings for your widget. All of these settings are optional.The first setting is the granularity of your time tracking. You are able to set this to 5 minutes, 15 minutes (default), 30 minutes, and 60 minutes (1 hour). NeoInvoice will automatically round the time up your specified amount, depending on how accurate your company prefer’s to be.

You can also set the default worktype and default project you work with. These values will automatically be selected on the main screen when loading the NeoInvoice widget from now on.

Recording Time Help:

If you are still on the Configuration screen, you can click the gear in the lower right corner to go back to the main screen.

On this screen, you have three dropdowns, a text box, and a button. The Project and Worktype dropdowns will remain empty until you login. The Ticket dropdown will remain empty until you select a project (and will only populate if the project has tickets).

Select a project and the type of work you are about to perform. If you are working on a particular ticket, you can select that as well. Type a description of the type of work you’ll be performing in the text box on the right. Click Start Working when you are ready.A box will appear on the bottom of the window, showing the total time, and the time rounded to the minutes you specified on the Configuration screen. The Start Working button has now changed into a Done Working button. At this point, close the dashboard (either pressing the
dasbhoard/F4 button again or clicking an empty area in the dashboard) and begin working!

When you are done, you can open the dashboard again, and click the Done Working button. This will save the work you have performed and send it off to the NeoInvoice website. At this point the dashboard widget is available for working on other projects.
