Using the Client Dashboard Work in Progress Pane

You can use the Work in Progress (WIP) pane of the Client Dashboard to review unbilled WIP and make WIP corrections. By default, the WIP pane displays all posted WIP that falls within the specified range. However, you can change the items that display by filtering the list by date, billing status, and WIP type.

Note: WIP is considered billable if the service code is billable, or if the service code is dependent upon the client's billability and the client is marked as billable.

Tip: To ensure that you have the most up-to-date information, click in the upper right corner of the pane. You can also refresh the list by right-clicking the grid and selecting Refresh.
