WorkFerret/tables/session

About

• History:
  • 2010-01-28 Adapted from MS Access version
  • 2010-01-29 Changed ID_Prev to Seq; moved next to Sort
  • 2010-01-30 Added CostAdd field from MS Access version (not sure why it got left out)
• Fields:
  • TimeAdd: time added to (finish-start), typically an approximation for when start/finish times aren't known
  • TimeSub: time subtracted from (finish-start), typically for distractions in the middle of a work session
  • TimeTotal = WhenFinish - WhenStart + TimeAdd - TimeSub
  • CostAdd is added before calculating CostLine; can be used for flat-rate billing and for deducting invoice amounts
  • CostLine = (TimeTotal * BillRate) + CostAdd
