ClickTime 7.0

We are excited to announce the release of ClickTime version 7.0. Included in this release is the ClickTime Resource Planning application, an all new Company Dashboard, billing goals, a new sign-in page, and many more new and improved features:

  1. ClickTime Resource Planning – You can now track monthly project budgets, assign people to projects and schedule their time each month based on each person's availability. Then, you can use our new Resource Planning management interface along with the new Company Dashboard to make sure your company is staying on track. Contact us if you're interested in adding the Resource Planning application to your account.
  2. Dashboard – We have an all-new dashboard for managers and administrators that is viewable upon sign-in. You can add charts, configure and rearrange panels, and fully customize the dashboard to get insight into the key performance indicators you need to stay on top of your business. Check the status of a project throughout the company or look at a specific department. The new ClickTime Dashboard will give your management team new insights into the performance of your company.
  3. Billing Goals – If your company cares about tracking and improving its billable utilization, then this feature is for you. We created new methods for administrators, managers and employees to set billing goals and track progress towards reaching those goals. This feature is immediately available to all customers. Get started by adding/editing an employee's ClickTime info and going to the new "Resource Planning & Billing Goal" area.
  4. Personal Dashboard – People can now keep track of which projects they've been assigned to each month, how many hours they're expected to work on each project, and the progress they've made toward reaching these goals. This is all conveniently accessible from the Personal Dashboard that appears on the right side of your Day View and Week View time entry screens..
  5. REST API – We now offer a REST API that is accessible by all customers. If you're interested in building and integrating your own custom application with ClickTime, check out our web services documentation.
  6. People Roles – We added the ability for you to assign roles to people. Then use roles in the Resource Planning management interface for finding and filtering groups of people.
  7. Sign-in Page – We've given the sign-in page an entirely new design. The cleaner look will give you a brighter start to each day.
  8. Report Builder Enhancements – You now can create heat maps of your data and easily group data for charting by day, month, quarter and year.
  9. Billing Goal Progress Report – There's a new report showing people's progress to reaching their monthly billing goals. You can access the new report from the People category on the Reports menu.
  10. Customizable Data Export – You are now able to export a person's role, workweek hours and billing goal settings.
  11. Organize Your Timesheet by Creation Order – We added the ability to Day View to sort your timesheet entries by order of creation. You may select this sort option under Day View's "Options" menu.
  12. Importing Data – Information on methods to import data into ClickTime is now easily accessible to Administrators in the Advanced area under the Company tab.
  13. Algerian Dinar – We added the Algerian Dinar (DZD) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Algerian Dinar as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.
  14. Custom Fields – Names of new custom fields may now contain up to 50 characters. We also fixed an issue when similarly named fields had different "required value" settings.
  15. Printing Expense Receipts - We fixed an issue that prevented people with commas in their name from printing expense receipts.
  16. Time Off Balances – We fixed an inconsistency when displaying time off balances. The correct balance was always calculated correctly and displayed properly but elsewhere on the page when it reiterated the balance, it showed an incorrect value.
  17. Web Browser Compatibility – We continue to support the most current versions of the most popular web browsers. This includes the recently released Firefox 13, Chrome 19.x, and Safari 5.1.7. Check out the ClickTime system requirements for more information about supported browsers.

ClickTime 6.7

We are very happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.7. The update includes new managerial permissions and advanced list views to manage your employees, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. The changes are as follows:

  1. Managerial Permissions - You can now grant and remove a manager's ability to view employee, client, job, task, expense and division lists. When a manager doesn't have the ability to view one or more of these lists, the corresponding navigational links will be hidden. In addition to these new options, we've improved how the managerial permissions are organized and displayed when adding and editing people.
  2. List Views – We've significantly enhanced the functionality and customizability of managing lists of people, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. You can now add and remove columns in each of these list views, including custom fields. Searching a list will search all visible columns. Additionally, columns can be re-ordered and resized to adapt the lists to each person's preference. For example, you can now add to the "people list" a person's designated timesheet approver, employment type and division. Or add a project's estimated hours and location to the job list and then search for all projects being worked on by the New York office.
  3. Updated UI – Along with the new look of our list views, we've started updating the look and feel of other pages under the Company tab. You'll notice the modernized interface when adding and editing people, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. You can expect to see these changes in other areas of ClickTime over the next few months.
