Degrade


To view a video of this Function Please click here.

This function will allow you to adjust your program for Small, Medium or Large Jobs. Lets say you get this massive job and you want to charge less for the job when it reaches a certain dollar level. Well this Feature will allow you to do this automatically.

Just set your minimum amount that you would consider a small job, then set the one in the middle for a middle ground figure. Then at the bottom set the maximum. Now the program will always adjust to the minimum amount so keep that in mind, The program will only recognize numbers progressing so keep that in mind when your filling in your figures, (see figure above) now you can adjust the percentage. This will take the percentage of the Timed job hourly rate. So if you want 90% of $35.00 an hour your new figure will be $31.50 this will now be your new hourly rate that you will be charging your customer. This will only occur when the specified target range has been met.

Starting up

You can access this feature by going to "Options" and in the "Tools" tab you will find "Degrade"

When you click on "Start" in Job Timer, this function will start up provided you have "Enable Degrade" Checked

 

You will see the red "Starting" text at the top which means the program is thinking on where it should go. If you decide to have this feature start in the middle of a job that you are working on, then the program will find the best setting to use and then adjust your price per hour accordingly.

 

Once learning where it has to go, then it will display a red box to show what level it is working at.

Using the "Progress by" buttons will allow you to quickly adjust your settings. So selecting 100 then you enter in 200 in the first box all your settings will increase by 200, 300, 400 and so on, if you choose the 200 box, then your settings will increase by 200 so enter in 200 in the first box and all the other boxes will increase by 200 and so on. This will insure that your numbers are progressing properly, if you get a number in there that is less than the number in front of it, then this function will not work properly.

Recommend is just a default button, clicking this will revert this back to default settings.

If you do not wish to use this feature then just uncheck the "Enable Degrade" check box and Job Timer will react and perform the way it always has.

If you decide to use degrade and it has starting adjusting your hourly rate for you, then you decide you didn't want this, Click on Clear, adjust your new hourly rate and save your job. This will prevent Degrade from adjusting your hourly rate again when you open up the job.

Please be careful and watch this feature closely and see if this is what you want. This Feature adjusts your hourly rate automatically. Make sure you are getting the outcome you want. If you don't like this feature just shut it off and it won't bother your work at all.
