As you can see we are moving forward with TrackMyPeople. And again we are glad to announce some new functionality.
Archiving Trackers
Due to popular request we added some new functionality allowing you to ‘archive’ project/clients/companies. Archived trackers will not appear anymore when you are tracking time (pssst, check out out brand new air widget !).
No data is lost, we only archive the tracker so it’s not being displayed anymore. You can ‘unarchive’ projects as well.
‘Quick-Create’ tracker
To make it even easier to create ‘sub projects’ the tracker tree now contains a ‘new’ button allowing you to create a subtracker for that project without leaving the page. This way you can quickly set-up the hierarchical structure of your company without going through several forms/pages & submits.
Enjoy !
functionality, trackers, ui
We improved the Tracker View page. It’s no longer divided into Subpages, but the Details are shown on one Page. This provides a quick Overview.
Company Overview
We included a basic chart of the last 2 weeks. This will show the time spent on this company.
Project Overview
Suggestions or comments are always welcome.

You already knew the user report, which used to give you a total chart at the top and a stacked chart at the bottom showing more details about the trackers.
Daily Report : Chart
user report
Single Tracker Graph
And the tracker report, with again a chart with the total time tracked for that tracker at the top, and a stacked chart with the data splitted up per user.

We already changed the select boxes in a multi select, to give you more flexibility, but now we have added both select boxes on both reports, giving you full reporting options.

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)
- …

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.

We just rolled-out a new version that contains filtering options for your personal timesheet as well as the manager timesheet for one or multiple employees. Just below the tabular listing you will find the 'total'.
If you use the filters properly you should be able to pull the following reports :
- Hours by Project by User by Custom Time Period
- Hours by Project for all Users by Custom Time Period
- Total Hours by User by Custom Time Period
- Total Hours by Project by Custom Time Period
- Total Hours non billable
- Total Hours billable
We are currently working on alot of user suggested features like excel exporting, custom charts/graphs and alot more. Keep an eye on this blog for more info…

New functions listed below.
Goto a User Calendar (requested feature)
See those 2 buttons at the start of each user line ? Use these buttons to instantly go to that user’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’t see these buttons.
Improved distinction “My Timesheet” and “Reports”
The “My Timesheet” section only holds personal data. If you are company owner or project manager you will have a “Report” section where you can get an overview of all your assigned user timeblocks.
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.
Switch to “Today” (requested feature)
We added a small button just between the go forward / backward buttons. Using this button your calendar will switch to today.
More features coming soon…
