Can I use this for both tickets and project tasks?

Yes, the skill includes logic and required field references for both ticketID and projectID/taskID configurations, ensuring hours are logged to the correct entity.

Does it support the Autotask approval workflow?

Absolutely. It recognizes and manages the four primary status codes: Draft (0), Submitted (1), Approved (2), and Rejected (3), including the logic for when entries are locked or editable.

How does it help with budget management?

It includes validation functions that compare new time entries against existing project totals or contract limits, providing warnings when 90% of a budget is reached or blocking violations.

How does this skill handle different billing rates?

The skill follows the Autotask rate hierarchy: it first checks for a specific Contract Rate, then falls back to Resource Rates, then Role-based Rates, and finally the system Default Rate.
