Scheduling the Activity report used to be a little rough around the edges. With the new interface, we've simplified the process of creating a saved report and periodically sending it to yourself, your team, or your clients. We also added the option to send an Excel file instead of a PDF.
We are introducing a brand new Dashboard report. We upgraded its functionality and divided it into 4 powerful sections.
Besides the totals and averages, here you will now also find a comparison of the stats to the previous period.
The activity chart shows how many total and billable hours were logged on a given day, week, or month. Here you can quickly spot any irregularities and see which days are the busiest. The "Average hours per day" dashed line calculates how many hours are on average spent on each working day.
Clients, projects, and tasks are nicely listed in a bar chart showing their hours and billable amount. This way you can compare them and see where you are billing more per hour. The table below offers quick links to Activity reports or Projects themselves.
The last section is all about your team members. Compare their total and billable hours within the selected parameters (with filters). Below the table is a list of all (active) team members that have not yet added any hours to their timeline in the selected period.
All team members will now receive a weekly (timesheet) report straight into their email inbox. This way normal members can check their logged hours and make any updates if needed. Administrators and Project managers will receive the report for the entire team or assigned project respectively.
Administrators can now set "Target weekly hours" for their team members. In this case, we'll append a kind reminder to their regular weekly report email. The reminder simply states how close the recipient is to the expected weekly target.
Those who are using our new mobile app, are already getting your daily reminders to start and stop the timer. With the new release, you can also set mobile notifications on the web.
Approval workflow can be a very powerful feature for larger teams. We've made quite a few changes to it in the latest release.
With the latest release, we added a new "View" on the Activity report called Screening. Switching to the Screening view, Administrators can Approve or Reject time logs of their team members. Approving a log also locks for from future updates. With log rejection, admin can add a comment about what to change.
Logs for specific projects or team members can be required to be approved. Before this release, all logs, including "pending" and "rejected", were presented in reports.
With this release, reports show only logs with Approved and No status.
Any member of the project can add time logs for its tasks. But if you want to be more specific, you can now assign members to tasks as well.
This will reveal the "Assigned tasks" dropdown in the Track section. Assignees can see their tasks with detailed description, quickly add time logs and even complete them.
To speed up the reporting for larger teams, you can now assign team members into "Teams". This way you can select the entire team in reports.
Users can add time logs for tasks even after they are marked as completed. Archiving a task removes the task from the list of available tasks in the Track section. Archived tasks can be restored or permanently deleted at any time in the future.
Admins can now assign any team member to multiple project in bulk via Un/assign project section in the Team members section.
We are releasing a brand new mobile app and quite a few updates to the web app! Here’s a list of the new and updated features.
Mobile apps for both Android and iOS have been re-developed from the ground up. Not only are they more attractive visually, but also offer a full spectrum of functionalities:
Some of you may already be using a new Track interface. We have now improved it even further. If you haven’t switched yet, you can do so on your Profile.
What are the advantages of the new interface?
While the original Track interface will remain available for a while, it will eventually be deprecated.
We completely redesigned the process of assigning tasks to projects and made it easier to assign team members. We hope that the new workflow will make project and task management faster, easier and more informative. What is changing?
As you can see, we’ve redesigned the projects from the ground up. If you find anything that was better in the previous version, do let us know.
Here are the key changes we made to reporting:
With the new release, Project managers can no longer view, edit or manage projects that they are not assigned to. The same goes for viewing the reports, they can only view reports for the projects they are assigned to.
We’ve also rearranged the main navigation. Projects are now placed right below the Track tab. In the Reports tab, Dashboard report gives you a great general overview and is now the default report on the top of the menu. The Activity report is right below it. You can quickly access the already filtered Activity reports right from the Dashboard.
Clients and Invoices are now grouped together, while Tasks tab was renamed to “Task templates” and moved to Account admin settings. All account settings are now grouped in one page, the Account Admin. Here you will now also find Tags and Imports.
We look forward to receiving your feedback on the recent developments in My Hours!
We are introducing a new Timesheet report, where you are able to check how much hours did your team members spend in a week (and each day) on specific projects and tasks.
For those of you who are not using a timer to daily track your work, it can get cumbersome to enter your hours one day at a time. This is why we are introducing a weekly timesheet which you can fill out for the entire week at once. You can switch to this Track view on your Profile.
You can now edit or delete time logs directly from the Activity view. This gives you the ability to update time logs quickly while preparing your reports. Administrators can edit logs for other members as well.
