           Summary: Wishes to assist time tracking and simple billing
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: reinhold kainhofer com
        ReportedBy: peter lombardo info


Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

To summarize:

 * export events by category
 * optional export fields (e.g. duration)

I use Korganizer to track my hours worked for various clients.  I export this to a \
'Web Page' but currently have to reformat and calculate the duration and monetary \
total by my hourly rate.

I know that Korganizer is not a billing program but by implementing at least the two \
bullets above would greatly ease my time tracking and reporting.

The larger solution that I would like to see is an additional tab in the 'Edit Event' \
dialog that allows the user to enter additional information regarding billable time \
such as:

 - specify the rate at which to charge for this event
 - specify a flat fee for this event
 - a flag that indicates an event as billable or not billable
 - a flag that marks this event as exported/billed

With the above, I can then just look at an event on my calendar and see the value \
automatically.

At least the basic framework of the above functionality will allow korganizer to \
integrate more easily with popular time and billing programs.

Ultimately, a day of work at one client should show up in my calendar, in my billing \
program and in a list under my contact card for that client.

To start, exporting by category and exporting of the duration field would greatly \
help.
