Auto time entries (draft time)

In the product UI this area is labelled Auto time entries (navLinks.ts: Time & Invoices group). It lists draft time rows that can be converted into posted Time entries.

The URL path is /user/draft-time-entries; the screen title in the app is Auto Time Entries (see user.router.ts route name Auto Time Entries).

Where drafts come from

The implementation supports multiple sources (not only calendar), including:

• Calendar (Microsoft 365 blocks)
• Email activity
• Timer sessions
• API / automation
• RescueTime (when your user profile has an API key configured — see sync actions on the page)

Use the sync controls on the page to pull from Calendar, Email, or RescueTime where enabled.

Where to find it

In the left sidebar, open Time & Invoices → Auto time entries (shown when you have Matter.View — same gate as the menu link in navLinks.ts).

Typical workflow

1. Review suggested rows in the draft list (and the ignored list if you use it).
2. Open a row to classify it against a matter, matter component, or project task (see EditDraftTimeEntry.vue and draft DTO types).
3. Move the row to ready to record, then submit to create a real time entry (or use bulk / merge flows when available).
4. Ignore rows that are not billable work so they do not clutter the queue.

Permissions

• Sidebar visibility for this link uses Matter.View (allUserLinks in navLinks.ts).
• If you can open the page but cannot submit, your role may be missing time-entry or matter-level permissions; ask your administrator.
