			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As everybody should know by now, Google is a must to have implemented on your site. This is why we have integrated a Google Map for companies (and previously Google OpenId login).</p>

<p>You can find your company by looking up the address or by double clicking on the map. Once the location is saved, you can see the result in the overview of your company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;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.</p>
<h2>Dashboard &amp; Tracker Tree Tracking</h2>
<p>Suggested by: sebastian chedal</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll note a new start icon, or in case you&#8217;re already tracking, a switch icon, before the tracker&#8217;s name in the small overviews on <a title="Dashboard" href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/" target="_blank">your dashboard</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-350" title="start_from_dashboard" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/start_from_dashboard.png" alt="start_from_dashboard" width="424" height="140" /></p>
<p>Similarly, on <a title="Tracker Tree" href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/tracker/mylist" target="_blank">your tracker tree</a> you&#8217;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.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-352" title="start_from_tree" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/start_from_tree.png" alt="start_from_tree" width="426" height="416" /></p>
<p>Note that you won&#8217;t have the option to add a description. If you want to do that you have to use the old way &amp; click the stop icon in the inline timer.</p>
<h2>Printer-friendly Weekly Time Entry View and Export to Excel</h2>
<p>As suggested by admasterbill, we&#8217;ve added a style/layout specific for the printing of <a title="Weekly Time Entry" href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/time_entry/weekly" target="_blank">the weekly time entry view</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-353" title="print_preview" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/print_preview-546x232-custom.png" alt="print_preview" width="546" height="232" /></p>
<p>and an icon to export the table to excel.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-354" title="export_icon" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/export_icon.png" alt="export_icon" width="562" height="79" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-355" title="excel" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/excell-653x147-custom.png" alt="excell" width="653" height="147" /></p>
<h2>Extra Info Fields on Company Edit</h2>
<p>To allow you to add more information to <a title="Companies" href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/company/list" target="_blank">your Companies</a>, we&#8217;ve added some extra fields on the Address form, as suggested by Murray Wilson. The new fields being: Zipcode, City and State.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-360" title="Tracker Address Info" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/screenshot1.png" alt="Tracker Address Info" width="565" height="307" /></p>
<h2>Easily see Who&#8217;s Working on What &amp; Making your Users Stop Tracking</h2>
<p>Jan Sequens requested to be able to easily see which users were tracking at a given time and stop blocks for his &#8216;managed&#8217; users, in case they forgot to stop at the end of the day for example. So we&#8217;ve implemented a small indicator on <a href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/user/list">the user list</a> allowing you to do just that!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-363" title="red_dot" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/red_dot.png" alt="red_dot" width="423" height="203" /></p>
<p>The users with a red dot in front of their name are currently tracking</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-364" title="gray_dot" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gray_dot.png" alt="gray_dot" width="421" height="202" /></p>
<p>while the ones with a gray dot are currently not tracking, at least not for one of your reportable trackers.<br />
Clicking the dot will take you to the edit page for the current block, but only if you&#8217;re able to edit the block.</p>
<p>As you can see, the tooltip will tell you which tracker they are working for. The <a title="Tabular View" href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com/report" target="_blank">tabular view</a> 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&#8217;ve improved this as well.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-365" title="running_blocks" src="http://www.trackmypeople.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/screenshot11.png" alt="running_blocks" width="421" height="118" /></p>
<p>If you refresh the page, you&#8217;ll see the totals change since the block is running.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
Today we updated the TrackMyPeople system. You&#39;ll note this immediately when you log in.
</p>
<p>
The backend part of the site has been seperated from the public (main) content and is totally secured.
</p>
<p>
PLEASE NOTE: The URL for the backend has changed as well to <a href="https://secure.trackmypeople.com">https://secure.trackmypeople.com</a>, so you need to <a href="http://www.trackmypeople.com/download"><strong>update your widget</strong></a>  (all OS&#39;s), which will connect to the new URL.
</p>
<p>
The system has been refactored to allow greater flexibilty. This way it is (will be) possible to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>nest trackers (previously known as projects and companies)</li>
<li>track time for any tracker, meaning you can also track time for a company </li>
<li>assign multiple (and soon custom) roles per tracker per user; detailed definition and permission explanation will follow soon
	</li>
<li>new (predefined) role types: employee, reporter (soon also freelancer, contracter, client, etc&#8230;)</li>
</ul>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
We followed these rules:
</p>
<ul>
<li>users with a single company (owned&nbsp; or member) have this company as default tracker.</li>
<li>users with multiple companies now have a new Task named &quot;Attendance&quot;</li>
<li>users without any companies or projects also have this new task</li>
</ul>
<p>
We migrated all attendance block as well (to match these new trackers). Log in and check the <a href="http://www.trackmypeople.com/tracker/mylist">new tracker tree</a> (your organisation structure).
</p>
<p>
If any of your data has errors, please <a href="mailto:support@trackmypeople.com">notify us</a> .
</p>
<p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
We&rsquo;re performing infrastructural changes this coming Thursday at 5PM&nbsp; Brussels time (<a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=10&amp;day=30&amp;year=2008&amp;hour=17&amp;min=0&amp;sec=0&amp;p1=48">what time is that for you?</a>).&nbsp; TrackMyPeople will be unavailable for approximately 1 hour while we make some upgrades to our service infrastructure as well as update the system.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Some of the features you can expect in the new version (online after tomorrows update)
</p>
<ul>
<li>Custom Organisation Structure (departements, multiple projects&#8230;)</li>
<li>Multiple Projects per User</li>
<li>Custom Permissions &amp; Roles</li>
<li>Seperate secured backend
	</li>
</ul>
<p>
See you tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New functions listed below.</p>
<h2>Goto a User Calendar (requested feature)</h2>
<p><img src="/uploads/media//blog/screen_userswitch.jpg" border="0" alt="User Listing : Link to calendar" /></p>
<p>See those 2 buttons at the start of each user line ? Use these buttons to instantly go to that user&#8217;s calendar. Note that this functionality is only for managers/company owners, so if you are using trackmypeople as a freelancer (single user), you won&#8217;t see these buttons.</p>
<h2>Improved distinction &#8220;My Timesheet&#8221; and &#8220;Reports&#8221;</h2>
<p>The &#8220;My Timesheet&#8221; section only holds personal data. If you are company owner or project manager you will have a &#8220;Report&#8221; section where you can get an overview of all your assigned user timeblocks.</p>
<p>Just on top of the day or week calendar on the report page you have a dropdown of related users/employees. Use this to switch the view to the users view.</p>
<p><img src="/uploads/media//blog/timesheet_vs_report.png" border="0" alt="Calendar : Switch User" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Switch to &#8220;Today&#8221; (requested feature)<br /></h2>
<p>We added a small button just between the go forward / backward buttons. Using this button your calendar will switch to today.</p>
<p><img src="/uploads/media//blog/calendar_switch_to_today.png" border="0" alt="Calendar Overview : Switch to today" width="635" height="280" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>More features coming soon&#8230;</p>
