Your page will now begin showing billing-related settings. We'll cover how each of these settings work in the following guide: [Configure & Setup Billing](/billing/invoicing/getting-started/configure-and-setup.md)&#x20;

## Billing Visibility

Once activated, you will see a feature titled "Billing" will become visible in your main menu on the left hand side. This page can be viewed in a 'Calendar' or 'Table' view, depending on your preferences.

Jobs will also begin displaying a new Billing tab, that will list all billable items and invoices linked to a job:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stayonhire.com/billing/invoicing/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
