Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for tracking time using a mobile computing device. The method steps include providing a first event manager on the mobile computing device for managing a plurality of event records corresponding to a plurality of events, wherein each event record of the plurality of event records is synchronized via an exchange server to a corresponding event record managed by a second event manager on a client machine, generating a time tracking record comprising time entry information, wherein the time tracking record is generated based on input from a user of the mobile computing device, wherein the time tracking record is added to the plurality of event records as a surrogate event record, transmitting the surrogate event record via the exchange server to the second event manager, wherein the second event manager is operatively coupled to a client application on the client machine, extracting the time entry information from the surrogate event record using the client application for tracking time, and generating estimated time entry information automatically based on the event record, wherein the time entry information from the estimated time entry information is generated based on user review.
