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.
What if a client has a different rate?
Type that rate in the Rate column on the row. A row with no rate uses the standard hourly rate on the Settings sheet.
Does it make an invoice?
No. It adds up hours and billable amounts. The Invoice builder makes an invoice that fits one page with up to 12 lines; type these totals into its lines.
