Questions
Are my builder entries sent to Due Form?
No. The builder uses them in your browser to make the workbook on your device.
Information is sent to Due Form when you submit a form or use another service described on the How it works page.
Does the tracker record my day rate over time?
No. It records one day rate per row, as typed text, such as 450 a day, and does not add rates up. For invoices and totals, use the Invoice builder.
Can I record repeat work from a past client?
Yes. Add a row for each new piece of work and choose Previous client as the source. The Summary then shows how many leads come from repeat clients.
