Draft Entries

A draft is a proposed entry that sits only on your calendar, visible only to you, waiting for your decision. It doesn't appear in reports or billing until you accept it.

Where drafts come from

Drafts come from two places. An AI Agent connected to AbleTime records your work as drafts while you work (see Time / Task Manager), and your calendar feeds turn events from Apple, Google or Outlook calendars into drafts (see Calendar Feeds).

Drafts on the calendar

Drafts sit on the tracker alongside your recorded time, each card showing its title, its duration, any description, and, once linked, its project and category. Every draft card has a three-dot menu with two actions — Accept and Dismiss — and clicking the card opens it in full.

While the Review Drafts panel is open, clicking draft cards selects them for bulk action instead of opening them. The panel itself is described on the Productivity Drawer page.

Calendar Feeds

To load or refresh drafts from your calendar feeds, click the button at the left of the calendar header (Pull this week from your calendar feeds). It pulls the week currently on screen, and each feed can be pulled once every 15 minutes. See Calendar Feeds for more details.

Accepting

Accepting turns a draft into recorded time. Opening a draft shows what was captured — its source, date, times, duration, and the date it expires — above the normal entry form: pick or correct the category and task, adjust anything that needs it, and click Accept. A draft can't be accepted without a category. Dismiss, beside it, removes the draft instead.

To accept or dismiss many drafts at once, and to close their tasks as you accept, use the Review Drafts panel in the Productivity Drawer.

An Agent can also accept its own drafts once you turn on Agent may commit (accept) my time entries under Agent access in Your Account → Privacy and Notifications. While it is off, an Agent can draft time for you, but only you can accept a draft, here in the app.

Dismissing

Dismissing removes a draft that wasn't real work. You are asked to confirm first. It cannot be undone, and a dismissed calendar event stays dismissed even when its feed is pulled again — the same event will not come back.
