It’s been too quiet on this blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting around. On the contrary, we have done several fixes and, while doing so, we heavily extended our limetest suite, which now counts well over 1000 tests, and we introduced a better error logging mechanism.

Here’s a small listing of some important fixes:

• fixed timezone issue for free time entry where blocks would appear in tabular view on wrong day (special thanks to candislcurd)
• fixed quick add/edit for free blocks: hour input was peculiarly interpreted as seconds (special thanks to candislcurd)
• fixed white page issue when saving a time block that would overlap with the currently running block
• fixed white page issue when deleting a block that would overlap with currently running block (special thanks to regenerate)
• fixed calendar pop-ups for IE7
• fixed switching between daily and weekly time entry views when reporting (viewing time for other users)
• fixed/enhanced nested tracker trees: imagine structure A > B > C, before if you were member of A & C but not B, C would not be shown
• fixed forgot my password functionality (special thanks to unexpected)

And a few new features have been introduced:

• organigram: check out the new visualisation of your trackers under the Manage menu
  

  horizontal organigram

  

  vertical organigram

• mass edit: you can now change the tracker for multiple time blocks at once, by choosing the change tracker action at the bottom of the tabular view
  
• the tabular view now has a multi-select-boxes for your trackable trackers, reported users and tracker types, so you’d have a more flexible way to view time details and totals.

We’re also working on:

• API documentation for third-party widget development
• multi-select for charts, so you’d have more flexible reporting options, analogue with the tabular view.
• cleanup/update of faq, documentation & videos

More news about this soon, so keep posted!

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.

 We've updated our timeblock system. You now have the option to add Free Blocks to your TimeSheet.

Free blocks vs Fixed blocks

Free blocks are basically timeblocks without a stop or start moment. This allows you to easily add new blocks with a total value. Another advantage is that you can add 'negative' blocks. (e.g. for a discount.)

Screenshot with free (green clock icon) and fixed (red clock icon) blocks:

Update: We've also updated our visual timesheet layout. Blocks that span multiple days will be split into blocks spread over several days. This will only occur in the calendar timesheet itself, don't worry we won't be splitting up your timeblocks, we implemented these changes to make sure you can clearly see that a block is spanning multiple days..
