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.

A new beta version of the ClickTime Desktop Application is available to all customers. This update resolves issues that some customers experienced while using the stopwatch feature. If you have a previous beta version installed, you should be prompted to update to the new version upon opening the application.

We appreciate the cooperation of our customers who helped identify this issue and our friends at Archetype for resolving it quickly.

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. 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. Your feedback is very important to us.
  5. Deleting Clients, Jobs, Tasks and People – We updated the process for deleting items including clients, jobs, tasks and people. 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. Please let us know if you have any issues, suggestions or other comments about the application. Your feedback is very important to us.

  4. Updated Mobile Sign-In Page – We updated the mobile sign-in page for non-WebKit-based browsers.

  5. Nigerian Naira – We added the Nigerian Naira (NGN) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Naira as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

  1. Timesheet View – We rebuilt the Timesheet View with a brand new look and implemented some great
    new methods for reviewing your timesheet. The new view gives you the option to summarize your timesheet by clients, jobs, phases, sub-phases or tasks across each
    timesheet.

  3. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® – This is now a public beta available to all customers. 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.

We encourage all QuickBooks users to try the new ClickTime Connector and let us know if you have any issues or enhancement requests.

  4. Updated Reports – We improved the appearance of several reports in the My Reports section under the Personal tab.

  5. Apple iOS 4 Support – We officially support Apple's newest iPhone and the iOS 4 update. You can use our Mobile Edition as well as the main web application with your iOS-based mobile devices.

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.
