We just rolled out an update of the login & lost password pages. The interface now looks cleaner & better then before.

The form will now produce more clear warning messages. Let us know what you think…

If you are an active trackmypeople user you will notice we change alot of things, on a daily base. For those of you who did not notice those changes, a brief summary :

• User Profile : Edit / Information : We totally reworked this functionality. You can now easily update your (and your employees/contractors) profile with some advanced validation/error correction
• Tracker Edit / Information : Editing trackers (can be companies/departements/tasks or projects) never was this easy. Use one of the information tabs to get more information about a tracker
• Set your project (tracker) color. Each use can now assign his own color. These colors will be used when browsing through the calendar interface
• Create a user : Easily create users/employees and assign him/her to the trackers you want. This page will automatically send an email to the "created" user
• Calendar Tabs. We changed the calendar interface to support 'tabs'. From now on you can switch between day/week/month view without having to change page
• Updated the "MyTrackers" page
• Fixed various layout issues
• Timezone & Culture detection (when editing profileà
• Persistent User Login : Login once, check the "remember me" checkbox and stay logged in for the next 30 days (only on the same computer)
• …

Login to your account and try all those new features, or join us now, while trackmypeople still entirely free !

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 .

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.
