ClickTime 6.6

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.6. The update includes new expense tracking functionality and significant updates to the Day View beta. The changes are as follows:

  1. Expense Receipts - We added the ability to upload receipt images to your expense sheets. You can now easily attach an image for any expense you add to your expense sheet. The receipt image may be in a PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF or PDF format.

  2. Day View Beta - We updated the new Day View beta time entry screen. New features include support for start-and-end times and break time, as well as stopwatch improvements. Now anyone can choose to input their timesheet using start-and-end times (e.g. start at 10am and end at 11:30am) via the Options menu.

  3. Timesheet View - We made various improvements to the new Timesheet View. The improvements include consistent ordering of comments between the on-screen and corresponding printable PDF version.

  4. New Currency Options - We added the Central African CFA franc and the Czech Koruna as currency options. You can now enter your expense items in these currencies. You may also select either of these as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

  5. Timesheet Review - We significantly improved the performance of the Timesheet Review. This is most noticeable when reviewing hundreds of timesheets at a time.

  6. Desktop App - The beta version of the ClickTime Desktop Application now properly enforces note requirements with each time entry when a person is configured for it. 

  7. Web Services - We updated web services to properly verify that a note exists when a person is required to enter notes with each time entry.

  8. Bulk Editing - Your date format preference (mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy) is now reflected when selecting the date range and previewing the data you want to edit.

  9. Advanced Billing Rates - The advanced billing rate options are now available to Corporate customers only. Existing customers on the Basic plan who were already using an advanced billing rate model will be able to continue using their current account without any changes.

QuickBooks 2011 Compatibility

QuickBooks 2011 We are happy to announce that the ClickTime Web Application and the ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® are compatible with the recently released QuickBooks 2011. The ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks, a public beta available to all customers, allows companies to integrate timesheet and expense data seamlessly with QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise (2005-2011). The latest version of the Connector now confirms that time tracking is enabled in your QuickBooks file before you can start importing time.

To download and use the latest public beta of the Connector, just sign in and set your accounting application to QuickBooks in your company preferences, and then go to the Integration section under the Company tab. If you have already installed a previous beta version, it will automatically update itself the next time you open the Connector.

The ClickTime Connector is a big improvement over the old IIF export formats. We encourage all QuickBooks users to try the new ClickTime Connector and let us know if you have any issues or enhancement requests.

ClickTime 6.52

We are pleased to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.52. The update includes many improvements to the Timesheet View, as well as updates for the ClickTime Desktop Application and ClickTime Connector for QuickBooks®. The changes are as follows:

  1. Timesheet View: Notes – We added the ability to view a list of all your timesheet notes from the timesheet grid. Just click the “SHOW” button at the bottom of the screen to view the Notes panel. You can then drag and resize the notes area as desired. We’ve also included a search feature so you can quickly find specific notes from your timesheet. This new functionality appears on your personal timesheet and when reviewing or approving other people’s timesheets.
  2. Timesheet View: Other Improvements – We added the ability to hide tasks from the Timesheet View for our customers who want less details on their timesheet. We also improved the amount of information that fits on each page when viewing the PDF version of your timesheet. Numerous other improvements were also implemented based on the great customer feedback we received.
  3. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® – An updated beta version is now available to all customers. If you have a previous beta version installed, you should be prompted to update to the new version upon opening the application. Otherwise, to download and use the new Connector for QuickBooks®, make sure your accounting application is set to QuickBooks in your company preferences, and then go to the Integration section under the Company tab.
  4. ClickTime Desktop Application – Our friends at Archetype have fixed a couple issues reported by customers in the latest beta release.

You will now be prevented from deleting any of these items if they are associated with any timesheet or expense sheet entries. You can still, however, mark these items as “inactive” in order to hide them from your time entry, expense entry and reporting options or to disable logins of former employees.

ClickTime 6.51

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.51. The update includes new billing rate functionality and improved workflow and navigation improvements. The changes are as follows:

  1. Billing Rates – We added the ability to set your clients, projects, jobs, tasks and employees to use a default company billing rate. Along with other new billing rate workflow improvements, you can now easily implement changes to your company's billing rates as of a specific date in the past and apply those changes to locked and unlocked timesheets.

  2. Navigation Improvements – We removed and reorganized some options in the navigation to simplify your selection, and to minimize the vertical space needed when using the application. There are now only two primary areas designated by tabs: Personal and Company. The ClickTime Desktop Application can now be downloaded from the "Applications" area under the Personal tab. The ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks can now be downloaded from the Integration section under the Company tab. The "help" and "sign out" links are now in the top-right corner on all pages. The links for entering expense sheets will no longer be shown to customers who don't utilize the feature.

  3. ClickTime Desktop Application – Our friends at Archetype have fixed several issues in what hopefully will be the final beta release. This update fixes issues reported by customers regarding offline mode usage, and improved time zone support when entering and displaying start and end times with each timesheet entry. This beta version of the Desktop Application is available to all customers from the Applications section under the Personal tab after signing in. If you have a previous beta version installed, you should be prompted to update to the new version upon opening the application.

Just sign in and set your accounting application to QuickBooks in your company preferences, and then go to the Download tab to get the Connector.

ClickTime 6.4

We released ClickTime version 6.4 today. The update includes powerful bulk editing capabilities, a new payroll report, and improved reporting optimized for the iPad and iPhone.  The changes are as follows:

  1. Find & Replace with Bulk Changes – We added a powerful new tool to enable large-scale bulk editing of timesheet data. In the Advanced section under the Company tab, you now have the ability to reassign clients, jobs, phases, sub-phases and tasks across all timesheet data, or just a specific set of timesheet entries. This is helpful for companies who want to rearrange the way they organize and categorize their data. It also helps when you need to split one project into two projects, or fix some incorrectly assigned time across multiple people and dates. These changes can be performed without having to unlock or unapprove timesheets, and could save hours of administrative overhead.

  2. Payroll Report – A new Excel payroll report is now in the People category under the Reports menu. This report provides a summary of hours worked and a summary of any time off taken by specified people, divisions or employment types. The time worked can also be subtotaled by client or job/project. This is helpful for basic payroll needs, as well as providing a quick summary of what clients and projects people are working on.

  3. Optimized Reporting for iPad and iPhone – We improved the way some reports are displayed in the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. You should now be able to view multi-page PDF reports properly with these Apple mobile devices.

  4. Documentation – We updated the online and PDF
    documentation to reflect the most recent updates. Administrators may
    download the user manuals (PDF) from the Quick View page after
    signing in. The online help is available by clicking the "help" links
    that appear in the upper and lower right-corners of every page after
    signing in to ClickTime.
