ClickTime 6.91

With the release of ClickTime version 6.91, we made it easier to update your employees' vacation and sick-leave balances and introduced other enhancements as follows:

  1. Update Vacation and Sick Leave Balances - We've made it easier for you to update the vacation and sick leave balances for multiple people simultaneously. A new option to "Update leave type balances" is available in the Advanced area under the Company tab. This makes it easier for companies who need to reset people's leave type balances (vacation, personal time, sick leave, etc.) at the beginning of the year.

  2. Export Lists to Excel – We added the ability to easily export your client, project, task, employee and division lists without needing to run a report. On your normal list management pages where you can select the columns of information you want to see, you can now click the "Export to Excel" button to quickly export the list you're looking at.

  3. Customizable Data Export and Excel Linking – We've improved performance of these exports, especially when exporting large data sets.

  4. Web Browser Compatibility – We continue to support the most current versions of the most popular web browsers. This includes the recently released Chrome 15 and Firefox 8. Check out the ClickTime system requirements for more information about supported browsers.

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.

ClickTime 6.5

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.5. The update includes a new Timesheet View, improved timesheet approval workflow and much more.  The changes are as follows:

  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.

  2. Timesheet Approval Workflow Improvements – We've streamlined common processes for managers and administrators. The improvements are especially helpful when you need to edit someone else's timesheet that was previously submitted for approval or was already approved.

  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've disabled the old "QuickBooks Reimbursable Expense Export (beta)" report. The new 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.

  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.

  6. Mongolian Tugrik – We added the Mongolian Tugrik (MNT) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Tugrik as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

  7. 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.

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.

ClickTime 6.34

We released ClickTime version 6.34 yesterday. The update includes
enhancements to the Desktop App beta and other various improvements. The
changes are as follows:

  1. Desktop Application Beta – The latest beta release of our
    new ClickTime Desktop Application is now available. This version includes an automatic update feature and various stopwatch improvements. If you have a previous beta version installed please uninstall it before downloading the new version (in the future you won't need to do this).

  2. Overriding Timesheets – We significantly improved the performance for timesheet overrides in the Timesheet Review area.

  3. Sub-Job Improvements – We
    fixed an issue with the sort order of sub-job values (phases, sub-phases, etc.). If you are having any issues with this feature, please let us know and we will resolve it for you.

ClickTime 6.32

We released ClickTime version 6.32 today. The update includes various session performance improvements and an initial beta release of our new Desktop App. The changes are as follows:

  1. Increased Session Length – We doubled the maximum session length to 8 hours. Session length is the amount of idle time between your last interaction with ClickTime and when you need to re-authenticate. A session length of 8 hours should allow a person to sign in once in the morning, start entering time, and not have to re-authenticate for an entire work day. The new option is in the Security Settings section of your Company Preferences. Customers on our Corporate plan have a maximum session length of 8 hours, and people on the Basic plan get their maximum length doubled to 4 hours. Customers who were previously set to the maximum session length will automatically get their setting updated to the new maximum value.

  2. Session Handling Improvements – We improved how your session is handled on the new Week View and Day View time entry interfaces, as well as the Job Estimation grid. Previously, you may have been told that your session had ended and need to sign-in again more frequently than expected. We've made sure that with every data request your web browser makes to our server, no matter how small, that we update your session appropriately so you don't need to re-authenticate as frequently.

  3. Desktop Application Beta – The initial beta release of our new ClickTime Desktop Application is now available. The new version includes extensive new features, a cleaner user interface, and tighter Web Timesheet integration.

  4. Updated Mobile Sign-in – The sign-in page for mobile devices (iPhone, Nexus One, BlackBerry, Palm Pre, iPod touch, etc.) has been updated to improve the interface for all modern smartphones and other devices. We look forward to using it on an iPad in the near future, too.

  5. Web Services – We would like to remind anyone still using web services version 2.1 to upgrade to the new version. We previously extended the availability of version 2.1 for a couple of months, but it will no longer be available after February 16, 2010.

Report formatting updated

Over the past few days, several customers informed us of a formatting issue with the time entry notes for some reports. The issue caused the font size to shrink down in an attempt to fit lengthier notes on one line. This problem should now be resolved for HTML, PDF and Excel formats. Your notes will now wrap vertically while retaining the proper font size. Additionally, any line breaks in the notes field will also be shown correctly. Please let us know if you have any additional issues or questions about your report formatting.
