Major system update

Category: General by: Gijs Nelissen

Today we updated the TrackMyPeople system. You'll note this immediately when you log in.

The backend part of the site has been seperated from the public (main) content and is totally secured.

PLEASE NOTE: The URL for the backend has changed as well to https://secure.trackmypeople.com, so you need to update your widget (all OS's), which will connect to the new URL.

The system has been refactored to allow greater flexibilty. This way it is (will be) possible to:

  • nest trackers (previously known as projects and companies)
  • track time for any tracker, meaning you can also track time for a company
  • assign multiple (and soon custom) roles per tracker per user; detailed definition and permission explanation will follow soon
  • new (predefined) role types: employee, reporter (soon also freelancer, contracter, client, etc…)

We also migrated all current projects and companies to this new tracker system. The attendance project is no longer shared, but personalised. Each user now has a default tracker, which we guessed during the migration process.

We followed these rules:

  • users with a single company (owned  or member) have this company as default tracker.
  • users with multiple companies now have a new Task named "Attendance"
  • users without any companies or projects also have this new task

We migrated all attendance block as well (to match these new trackers). Log in and check the new tracker tree (your organisation structure).

If any of your data has errors, please notify us .

Scheduled Maintenance : Thursday 30 Oct

Category: General by: Gijs Nelissen

We’re performing infrastructural changes this coming Thursday at 5PM  Brussels time (what time is that for you?).  TrackMyPeople will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour while we make some upgrades to our service infrastructure as well as update the system.

As our service userbase is constantly growing, the architecture of the trackmypeople system quickly showed us some features were really hard to implement. To make sure we can develop/create new functionality faster, we decided to refactor, to make the system more flexible.

Some of the features you can expect in the new version (online after tomorrows update)

  • Custom Organisation Structure (departements, multiple projects…)
  • Multiple Projects per User
  • Custom Permissions & Roles
  • Seperate secured backend

See you tomorrow.

Easy Time Entry

Category: General by: Gijs Nelissen

We advice everyone to use one of our widgets to track your time right from your desktop. Next to that we have a "time entry" page where you can easily update your timesheet for the day or week. This could happen if you are visiting customers, forgot to use your widget or just need an easy way to add your data all at once.

Meet the "Time Entry" page. This interface is split up in a daily & weekly view.

On the daily view you can add descriptions for timeblocks

Use the weekly view to easily register all the work done for a certain (or multiple) projects. When you're done just press save, and the "time entry" system will create the according 'free blocks ' for you.

A new version of the gnome applet is online. We fixed some small bugs.

  • bugfix: The widgets wont start tracking when there is no internet.
  • small: "user logged in success!" => "User logged in successfully!"

Feel free to informs us about bugs or leave some feedback or suggestions.
