Purpose: Displays professional fees (Time, Fee and Activity entries) recorded for the selected staff member(s) within a specified period.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the work performed by staff members, aiding in better project management, billing and analysis of billable hours.

Key Features:

Matter Filter: Users can delve into specific matters using the Matter filter. Additionally, results can be refined by filtering based on Activity Codes or billing status (‘Billing Type’): ‘Billable’, ‘Billed’, or ‘Not Billable’.
Automatic Grouping by Staff: Report results are automatically grouped by staff. Each staff member’s line can be expanded to list the Activity Codes involved. Furthermore, each Activity Code can be expanded to display individual professional fee entry.

Report Trigger: The report will reference professional fee entries recorded for the selected staff member(s) within a specified period:

A professional fee entry is recorded for a staff member when the person's name is selected for the entry in the Time/Fee/Activity window. The staff member is typically the individual who performs the actual work.
A professional fee entry is recorded within the specified period when its transaction date falls within the specified period.

NOTE: The report excludes an entry if it has been deleted as of today, regardless of its status on the 'End Date' of the selected date range.

Report Filters:

Date Range	Displays staff members professional fees within the choosen date range
Staff	Consists of two filters: 1. Include Inactive Staff: Yes: Include inactive Staff members in the 'Staff' list for selection. No: Exclude inactive Staff members in the 'Staff' list for selection. 2. Staff list for selection. NOTE: When you change the selection for Include Inactive Staff (from Yes to No or vice versa), the Staff drop-down list will be updated accordingly.

Note: The report will include entries based on their statuses as of the 'End Date'. For example, consider a Billable Time entry that was created on 01/01/2024 and then billed on 01/03/2024. If the End Date is set to a date prior to 01/03/2024, such as 01/02/2024, the report will consider the entry as Billable. Only when the End Date is set to 01/03/2024 or later will the report consider the entry as Billed.
