Category: General by: Bart Vanderstukken

This feature allows you to send yourself reports at a regular interval.

You simply choose a cron expression, the users and trackers you want in your report and the time span.

For example: send a report each Friday for all my users and all trackers spanning the last week.

New User Suggested Features

Category: General by: Bart Vanderstukken

We’re always open for interesting user suggestions and to prove it, here are some of the new features that have just been put online, all suggested by some of our users.

Dashboard & Tracker Tree Tracking

Suggested by: sebastian chedal

You’ll note a new start icon, or in case you’re already tracking, a switch icon, before the tracker’s name in the small overviews on your dashboard.

start_from_dashboard

Similarly, on your tracker tree you’ll find a new context menu option by  clicking on the tracker row, to start tracking for that tracker or to stop the current block and start tracking for the selected tracker.

start_from_tree

Note that you won’t have the option to add a description. If you want to do that you have to use the old way & click the stop icon in the inline timer.

Printer-friendly Weekly Time Entry View and Export to Excel

As suggested by admasterbill, we’ve added a style/layout specific for the printing of the weekly time entry view

print_preview

and an icon to export the table to excel.

Extra Info Fields on Company Edit

To allow you to add more information to your Companies, we’ve added some extra fields on the Address form, as suggested by Murray Wilson. The new fields being: Zipcode, City and State.

Tracker Address Info

Easily see Who’s Working on What & Making your Users Stop Tracking

Jan Sequens requested to be able to easily see which users were tracking at a given time and stop blocks for his ‘managed’ users, in case they forgot to stop at the end of the day for example. So we’ve implemented a small indicator on the user list allowing you to do just that!

red_dot

The users with a red dot in front of their name are currently tracking

gray_dot

while the ones with a gray dot are currently not tracking, at least not for one of your reportable trackers.
Clicking the dot will take you to the edit page for the current block, but only if you’re able to edit the block.

As you can see, the tooltip will tell you which tracker they are working for. The tabular view also provides this information, plus it does so more accurately now. As Jan Sequens pointed out: an open block would be shown on the tabular view, but with a zero-total. We’ve improved this as well.

running_blocks

If you refresh the page, you’ll see the totals change since the block is running.
