ClickTime 6.95

With ClickTime version 6.95, we released the new Day View time entry screen (no more beta), updated the ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® and introduced other enhancements as follows:

1. Day View - The new time entry interface is out of beta and is now available. We improved performance, fixed lots of bugs and added support for several features including zero-hour time entry, Quick Day and enhanced search capabilities to find the correct client, project and task for your timesheet entries. We want to thank all of our customers who used the beta version during the past several months and provided us with feedback. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.


2. Timesheet Override - Administrators now have the ability to temporarily circumvent job list and task list controls, as needed, when overriding another person's timesheet. Additionally, you will now get the new Day View functionality when editing another person's timesheet.


3. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® - We've made numerous improvements to our QuickBooks integration, including the ability to export time off and an easier-to-use main menu. You can also now export data to Canadian and UK versions of QuickBooks.

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.

This custom field data is also directly retrievable within your own custom Excel charts and dashboards (via the Excel Linking feature available to Corporate customers).


3. Report Builder - We've improved the Report Builder tool to support custom fields associated with timesheet entries. Now you can also include data from up to 15 different custom fields in each report that you create.

7. Day View (beta) - We updated this time entry interface to support custom fields and resizing of client, job, task and custom field column widths via the Options menu.


8. Extended Session Length - We added longer session length options to all accounts, including Basic & Corporate customers. All customers who were previously set to the maximum length available (4 hours for Basic and 8 hours for Corporate customers) are now automatically set to 12 hours. In your company preferences, you may change this to a duration as long as 24 hours or as short as 30 minutes.


9. Expense Sheets - We refreshed the look-and-feel of the expense tracking interfaces to match the updated aesthetics of the time-tracking portion of the application.

ClickTime 6.87

With the release of ClickTime version 6.87, we added the ability to duplicate clients and introduced other enhancements as follows:

1. Duplicate a Client - You can now easily create a new client by duplicating an existing client. When duplicating the client, you will have the option to duplicate the billing rates, custom field values, and jobs associated with the client. When you duplicate the client's jobs, you may also duplicate each job's structure (e.g. phases and sub-phases) and restriction settings.


2. Desktop Application - We improved tabbing between fields for people who prefer using keyboard-based field-to-field navigation. We also improved reliability under situations when an unreliable internet connection causes the application to flip quickly back-and-forth between an online and offline state. The next time you launch the Desktop Application it will automatically update to the latest version.


3. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® - We fixed a couple of issues reported by customers regarding specific QuickBooks settings.


4. Vertical Timesheet - We updated the Vertical Timesheet report to sort each day's entries by the start and end times as provided (for example, a timesheet entry starting for 10am to 11am appears before one that starts at 2pm and ends at 4pm).


5. Day View (beta) - We fixed some issues that could cause timesheet entries to get duplicated.


6. Ukrainian Hryvnia: We added the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Ukrainian Hryvnia as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

ClickTime 6.85

With the release of ClickTime version 6.85, we've improved our integration with QuickBooks and added administrative controls for you to limit which employees may enter time off.

1. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® - Data Synchronization: We added the ability to copy people, customers, jobs and service items from QuickBooks and import them into ClickTime.


2. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® - Setup Wizard: We added a setup wizard to help get you started with QuickBooks integration.


3. Leave Type Controls: You can now control which employees have the ability to enter time off. You can further limit which leave types (e.g. vacation, sick leave, PTO, etc.) each person may enter time against. These settings can be controlled when editing an employment type or while editing a leave type.


4. Chilean Peso: We added the Chilean Peso (CLP) as a currency option. You can now enter your expense items in this currency. You may also select the Chilean Peso as your company's primary currency via Company Preferences.

ClickTime 6.82

With the release of ClickTime version 6.82 we've continued to improve the horizontal timesheet reports as follows:

1. Horizontal Timesheet Reports - Exclude Notes - We added the ability to exclude notes, start/end times and break times from the printed timesheet report. This can reduce the number of pages neded in PDF reports and printed timesheets.


2. Horizontal Timesheet Reports - Aggregate vs. Timesheet Date Ranges - Based on customer feedback, we now provide two options when running the report. The "Timesheet" format will cause the report to be broken down into separate timesheet periods. The "Aggregate" option will allow you to arbitrarily select up to a month of timesheet entries and print it like one timesheet. Thus, with the aggregate option, even if your company uses a weekly timesheet in ClickTime, you can generate a two-week timesheet using the Aggregate option.

Thanks to all of those customers who continue to give us feedback. That feedback is what makes ClickTime better.

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 6.8

We are happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.8. The update includes new functionality and performance improvements to our Timesheet View and Horizontal Timesheet reports. The changes are as follows:

1. New Horizontal Timesheet Reports - We rebuilt the horizontal timesheet reports that appear in the "Reports" area under the Company tab and the "My Reports" area under the Personal tab. You can now run these reports for any length of time (no more 16-day limit!) and all supported browsers and operating systems can access the HTML and PDF versions of this report. In addition to a new look-and-feel that matches what's seen in Timesheet View, you can now control whether it includes client, task, phase and sub-phase information in the report.


2. Timesheet View - We've made improvements to the printable (PDF) version based on customer feedback. Printing a timesheet from the Timesheet View will now produce the same result as printing the Horizontal Timesheet report.


3. Day View (beta) - We implemented numerous improvements and bug fixes to the beta time entry screen. We also added the ability to delete a time entry by entering a zero in the hours field (unless your account is configured to allow zero-hour entries). We appreciate all of the customers who are giving us feedback on this new time entry page.


4. Week View - We made various improvements to the Week View time entry interface including the ability to delete a time entry by entering a zero in the hours field (unless your account is configured to allow zero-hour entries).

ClickTime version 6.74 includes improvements to our Day View (beta) interface and reporting. The changes are as follows:

1. Day View (beta) - We implemented numerous bug fixes and are now happy to make the beta available to nearly all customers. If you haven't already started using it, the new Day View interface sports an updated look-and-feel, auto-saving of time entries and various user-configurable options including the use of start and end times (e.g. I worked from 9:30am to 11am on Project X).


2. Vertical Timesheet Report - Break time values will now appear in the Vertical Timesheet report.


3. Division List View - We fixed an issue affecting a couple of companies which caused some divisions to not appear in the Division list.


4. ClickTime Connector for use with QuickBooks® - After some back and forth, Intuit's QuickBooks support team confirmed that the QuickBooks Pro 2011 R6 update resolves the issue caused by the prior R4 and R5 updates which may result in the ClickTime Connector appearing to freeze while trying to communicate with your QuickBooks file. If you are experiencing this problem, please upgrade your QuickBooks 2011 application with the R6 update.

ClickTime 6.72

We are happy to release ClickTime version 6.72. The update includes new functionality and performance improvements to our Day View beta as well as an improved look-and-feel for most of the management pages. The changes are as follows:

1. Day View (beta) - We added support for sub-jobs (e.g. phases and sub-phases) and implemented numerous bug fixes and performance improvements. This time entry interface should be much faster now, especially for people with 10 or more timesheet entries per day.


2. Updated UI - We updated the look and feel of nearly all of the pages under the Company tab. You can expect to see these changes continue into other areas of ClickTime over the next few months.

   • Google's Chrome 10
