Late yesterday we released ClickTime version 7.82.1 to resolve an issue some customers were experiencing when adding and editing timesheet entries using the Mobile App. We updated the REST API to resolve the issue.
Tag: API
The release of ClickTime version 7.82 includes a new page design and improved functionality for reviewing and approving timesheets. We also made improvements to the REST API and reports. Here's what's new in this release:
- Timesheet Review – We updated the UI and improved functionality for reviewing and approving timesheets. For more information about the changes, check out our Timesheet Review blog post.
- Detail Project – We made several enhancements to the new page for adding and editing projects.
- Expense Sheet Report – We added a "mileage grand total" at the end of an expense sheet.
- REST API – You can now review, create, edit and delete projects (a.k.a. jobs) using version 1.3 of the REST API. If you're interested in building your own custom integration with ClickTime, check out our web services documentation.
- Day View – We improved the messaging when a person's "end date" prevents the creation of timesheet entries in the future.
- Bug Fix: Day View – We now identify a time off row as “incomplete” when a person enters a note but not an hour value.
- Bug Fix: "Billing Summary with Client Detail" Report – Fixed "billable hours grand total" calculation in this report. Also fixed an issue with the page title when exporting to PDF.
- Mobile App Compatibility – The ClickTime Mobile App works properly with the new iOS 9 from Apple. We've also tested the Mobile App with the beta version of Android Marshmallow and are working to resolve one known issue. Go to the App Store or the Google Play store to install the Mobile App today.
We have a new version of our REST API with new and enhanced methods. Our time tracker also includes support for SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication. Version 1.3 of the REST API 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.
If you're currently using an old version of our REST web services, check out our REST 1.3 documentation for information on what's changed. We encourage you to migrate as soon as possible. The old version is now deprecated and will only be accessible until September 15, 2015.
