ClickTime 7.14

We updated ClickTime to version 7.14 with improvements to Resource Planning and Firefox compatibility. This is the first update of 2013 and you can expect to see more frequent updates and feature enhancements in the coming year. Here's what's new in this release:

  1. Resource Planning
    Resource_Planning_and_Project_List_ControlsMany companies create Project List Controls that define which people have access to specific clients and projects. This information can now be utilized in Resource Planning when selecting people and projects. For example, you can now choose to manage one particular set of projects and then select to only see people that have access to those projects.
  2. Firefox 18 – We implemented a workaround for a bug in the new Firefox version 18.

Set Your QuickBooks Class For Each Timesheet Entry

ClickTime supports importing time data into QuickBooks and associating that time with QuickBooks Classes. Through the use of a custom field in ClickTime, you can define the QuickBooks Class for people, clients, jobs, tasks or divisions. Last week we extended these capabilities to enable selecting the Class as each timesheet entry is created. This creates greater flexibility for ClickTime customers who utilize class tracking in QuickBooks.

QB_Class_Custom_FieldCreate the QuickBooks Class custom field in your ClickTime account by following these steps:

  1. Sign in as a ClickTime administrator, go to your Company Preferences and click the Custom Fields option.
  2. Click the "Add Custom Field" button.
  3. Enter "QB_Export_Class" as the custom field name.
  4. Enter a display name that describes your class values (e.g. profit center, location, etc.).
  5. Select "Timesheet Entry" as the association.
  6. Enter your class values in the field provided with each value on its own line.
  7. Click the "Save" button.

That's it! Now when you enter time on your timesheet, the Class value can be selected. The Class information will be transferred automatically to QuickBooks the next time you use the ClickTime QuickBooks Connector.

The ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® seamlessly transfers time and expense sheet data to QuickBooks Pro, QuickBooks Premier, and QuickBooks Enterprise (2006-2012). The QuickBooks Connector communicates directly with QuickBooks, making it more efficient than traditional IIF export/import methods.

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..

  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.
