What is the difference between billable and actual time?

Actual time is the time you entered into Zola (either through a calendar event, in the new time entry screen or by using the time keeper), and billable time is the amount you will charge your client by. Zola calculated the billable time by using the billing increment you entered for your firm, or by the increment you entered for the individual matter
