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..

We hereby announce that TrackMyPeople has upgraded it's dashboard layout. To give you a clearer and easier user experience.

We hope you enjoy it. Suggestions are always welcome.

Our FAQ includes now more than one hundred (that's +100 !) frequently asked questions, providing the best solution to your problem. We have reorganized the categories, in order to optimize the navigation to find the right question & answer.

On top of that we have integrated a search function and rating stars. Feel free to rate the answers that helped you solve a problem.

If you are still having troubles with a certain feature on TrackMyPeople, don't hesitate to report a bug or question .

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…

A quick list of most important changes to make our “timetracking application” a little better.

Online Time Applet

• Fixed redirection after starting/stopping a time block
• Switch project now works like it should (switch project = change task)
• Start Tracking : punch clock principle : when pressing the ‘start’ button the clock starts ticking automatically

Various Other

• Redirection when logging in : if you try to access a certain tracking or reporting feature without being logged in, the site will automatically redirect you to the page you initially requested
• ‘Switch to dashboard’ / ‘Switch to public website’ quicklink updated

As always, suggestions welcome.

I know, i know. It’s been awhile….But in the background we are working on new features/bugfixes/improvements.

That’s why i present you today

Timesheet : Month View

Using the online timesheet you can instantly get a clear overview of the time your employees (or yourself) are spending on a project.

Enjoy, and remember to send us your feedback ! (info@trackmypeople.com)

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…

You may have noticed we haven't been updating trackmypeople.com that much the last 2 days. In the background we were working on a much requested 'calendar' integration.

Log-in to your account and find out what we are talking about. In the 'my timesheet' section you will find two new buttons : Day View & Week View, these pages will give you a visual overview of the registered timeblocks for that period. Use the controls on top to navigate to previous weeks/days.

You can use the 'edit project' page to set a color for your project, this way all timeblocks for that project will be colored as specified. We will be adding a month calendar overview page soon
