ClickTime 7.5

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 7.5 with new automated reminders and improvements to Resource Planning. Here’s what’s new in this release:

  1. Reminders for Timesheet Approvers – Customers using the Timesheet Approvals module can now schedule automatic reminders for all timesheet approvers who have one or more timesheets awaiting their approval. You can enable this reminder by going to the “Advanced” area under the “Company” tab and clicking the Automated Notifications option.
  2. Resource Planning – We added the ability for an administrator to clear out all budgets and/or allocations from a particular month. Additionally, the administrator may also now trigger a “Quick Month” at any time to copy budgets and/or allocations from a previous month into a new month.
  3. Expense Export (beta) – We significantly improved the speed of the beta version of the customizable expense export report.
  4. SOAP API – We added a sample SOAP web services project for Visual Studio to help customers get started using our SOAP API. Please review the web services documentation to download the sample project. We also fixed a string-matching capitalization issue with the division name and employment type name values for the AddPerson, AddPersonConfirmation and UpdatePerson methods.
  5. Expense Receipts and Firefox – We implemented a workaround for a bug in the Firefox web browser that could prevent expense receipt PDF files from being uploaded.
  6. Bug fix: Day View – Sub-Jobs and IE9 – We fixed a display issue when the Day View timesheet entry screen was used with sub-jobs and version 9 of Internet Explorer (IE9).
  7. Bug fix: Week View – Sorting Lists – Customized displays of project and task lists now sort correctly.
  8. Bug fix: Company Dashboard – Time Entry Completion – Today is now properly identified in the “Time Entry Completion” dashboard panel for all time zones.
  9. Bug fix: DCAA Timesheet Entry – A web browser can now scroll down properly to enter explanations when making many simultaneous changes to timesheet entries from the past.

  5. New Report: Task Availability - Customers using Task List Controls may now download an Excel file showing which tasks are available for each active project. This report includes support for Excel Linking, enabling Enterprise customers to pull the data via XML directly into an existing Excel file or other third-party tools for easy custom reporting and integration.
  6. Bug fix: Locking Timesheets by a Manager - Fixed an issue that prevented a person's timesheet from being locked by a manager when the company is configured for timesheet approvals but the person was not yet configured to submit the timesheet for approval.
  7. Web Browsers – ClickTime continues to offer best-in-class browser support. We support the most recent versions of IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Check out the ClickTime system requirements for updated information about supported versions of these web browsers.

ClickTime 6.81

Following up on last week's release comes ClickTime version 6.81. The update includes improvements to our Day View beta, horizontal timesheet reports, list views, expense tracking, web services and more. The changes are as follows:

  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 changed how time off appears in the report and made some other cosmetic changes to fit more information per page. 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.

  4. Division List Export – We added the ability to export custom fields associated with divisions when running the "Division List Export" report.

  5. Web Services – We added a new method for obtaining detail information about divisions.

  6. Expenses – We fixed an issue which caused the wrong name to appear when a manager or administrator prints another person's expense sheet.

ClickTime 6.6

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.6. The update includes new expense tracking functionality and significant updates to the Day View beta. The changes are as follows:

  2. Day View Beta - We updated the new Day View beta time entry screen. New features include support for start-and-end times and break time, as well as stopwatch improvements.

  3. Timesheet View - We made various improvements to the new Timesheet View. The improvements include consistent ordering of comments between the on-screen and corresponding printable PDF version.

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.

  4. Session Length Increased – Corporate customers who were set to the previous default value of 2-hour sessions have been updated to the new maximum of 8 hours. If you prefer shorter sessions, you can change this value in the Security Settings section of your Company Preferences.

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.
