Applying an entry to a retainer
TimeCache can use a special Retainer billing category type for users who have retainer billing arrangements with their clients.

If you have a retainer for a project/matter you're tracking time for, you can make sure you apply your time entries to the retainer in the Daily Log. To do so, click the "-" or "+" marker at the right end of the entry in the Daily Log and hold the mouse down to show a popup menu. Choose Apply to retainer from the menu options. The entry is italicized in the Daily Log to remind you that it is being applied to the retainer. In addition, the charges for the entry are removed from the total amount at the bottom right of the Daily Log panel (they are already accounted for in your retainer amount).

If you have applied an entry to a retainer and need to reverse that, choose Don't apply to retainer from the popup menu. The entry's display is restored to normal, and the charges for that entry are included in the Daily Log total.
