Adding Lump Sum Hours

Sometimes you need to add hours without creating individual activities. Lump sum hours let you add time in bulk.

When to Use Lump Sum Hours

• Field trips - A full day at a museum or nature center
• Reading time - Daily reading you didn't log separately
• Catch-up logging - Hours from days you forgot to track
• Outside classes - Co-op classes or tutoring sessions

Adding Lump Sum Hours

1. Go to Students
2. Select the student
3. Click Add Hours or find the lump sum option
4. Enter:
   • Number of hours
   • Subject (optional)
   • Date
   • Notes (optional)
5. Save

How It Works

Lump sum hours:
- Count toward total hour goals
- Can be assigned to a subject
- Appear in reports
- Don't create individual activity entries

Best Practices

• Add notes to remember what the hours were for
• Assign to the appropriate subject when possible
• Use sparingly - individual activities provide better documentation
