ClickTime 6.9

With the release of ClickTime version 6.9, we added the ability to use custom fields in your timesheets and introduced other enhancements as follows:

    1. Timesheet Custom Fields – In addition to tracking client, project and task information, you can now easily add custom fields for your employees to fill out with each timesheet entry. The custom fields can be almost anything you want, including text, numbers, currency, pop-down lists and more.

 

    1. Customizable Data Export and Excel Linking – Custom fields associated with timesheet entries are exportable via the Customizable Data Export report. This custom field data is also directly retrievable within your own custom Excel charts and dashboards (via the Excel Linking feature available to Corporate customers).

 

    1. Report Builder – We’ve improved the Report Builder tool to support custom fields associated with timesheet entries. Now you can also include data from up to 15 different custom fields in each report that you create.

 

    1. Timesheet View – We updated the Timesheet View to include Timesheet Custom Field information.

 

    1. Horizontal Timesheet – We updated the Horizontal Timesheet report to include Timesheet Custom Field information.

 

    1. Week View – You can now resize the column widths on your timesheet via the Options menu. This includes the ability to resize the client, job, task and custom field columns. You can also use custom fields in the Week View time entry screen with all supported browsers.

 

    1. Day View (beta) – We updated this time entry interface to support custom fields and resizing of client, job, task and custom field column widths via the Options menu.

 

    1. Extended Session Length – We added longer session length options to all accounts, including Basic & Corporate customers. All customers who were previously set to the maximum length available (4 hours for Basic and 8 hours for Corporate customers) are now automatically set to 12 hours. In your company preferences, you may change this to a duration as long as 24 hours or as short as 30 minutes.

 

    1. Expense Sheets – We refreshed the look-and-feel of the expense tracking interfaces to match the updated aesthetics of the time-tracking portion of the application.

 

    1. Password Strength – We added 18 symbols to the allowed list of characters that can be used in your ClickTime password. Now you can create even stronger passwords than before.

 

    1. Omani Rial – We added the Omani Rial (OMR) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Omani Rial as your company’s primary currency via Company Preferences.

 

    1. Web Browser Compatibility – We continue to support the most current versions of the most popular web browsers. This includes the recently released Chrome 14 and Firefox 7. Check out the ClickTime system requirements for more information about supported browsers.

ClickTime 6.87

With the release of ClickTime version 6.87, we added the ability to duplicate clients and introduced other enhancements as follows:

  1. Duplicate a Client – You can now easily create a new client by duplicating an existing client. When duplicating the client, you will have the option to duplicate the billing rates, custom field values, and jobs associated with the client. When you duplicate the client's jobs, you may also duplicate each job's structure (e.g. phases and sub-phases) and restriction settings.

  2. Desktop Application – We improved tabbing between fields for people who prefer using keyboard-based field-to-field navigation. We also improved reliability under situations when an unreliable internet connection causes the application to flip quickly back-and-forth between an online and offline state. The next time you launch the Desktop Application it will automatically update to the latest version.

  3. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® – We fixed a couple of issues reported by customers regarding specific QuickBooks settings.

  4. Vertical Timesheet – We updated the Vertical Timesheet report to sort each day's entries by the start and end times as provided (for example, a timesheet entry starting for 10am to 11am appears before one that starts at 2pm and ends at 4pm).

  5. Day View (beta) – We fixed some issues that could cause timesheet entries to get duplicated.

  6. Ukrainian Hryvnia: We added the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Ukrainian Hryvnia as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

These settings can be controlled when editing an employment type or while editing a leave type.

  4. Chilean Peso: We added the Chilean Peso (CLP) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Chilean Peso as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

ClickTime 6.81

  1. Day View (beta) – We implemented numerous bug fixes and interface improvements.

  2. Horizontal Timesheet Reports – We refined the recently redesigned and rebuilt horizontal timesheet reports that appear in the "Reports" area under the Company tab and the "My Reports" area under the Personal tab.

We're also working on additional enhancements based on the feedback we're getting.

  3. List Views – We fixed an issue so that when reactivating a project from the Project list view, the project's associated client automatically gets reactivated if necessary. Additionally, deactivating a client from the Client list view will automatically deactivate all of its associated projects.

  1. New Horizontal Timesheet Reports – We rebuilt the horizontal timesheet reports that appear in the "Reports" area under the Company tab and the "My Reports" area under the Personal tab. You can now run these reports for any length of time (no more 16-day limit!) and all supported browsers and operating systems can access the HTML and PDF versions of this report. In addition to a new look-and-feel that matches what's seen in Timesheet View, you can now control whether it includes client, task, phase and sub-phase information in the report.

  2. Timesheet View – We've made improvements to the printable (PDF) version based on customer feedback. Printing a timesheet from the Timesheet View will now produce the same result as printing the Horizontal Timesheet report.

  3. Day View (beta) – We implemented numerous improvements and bug fixes to the beta time entry screen. We also added the ability to delete a time entry by entering a zero in the hours field (unless your account is configured to allow zero-hour entries). We appreciate all of the customers who are giving us feedback on this new time entry page.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
