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).


5. Updated UI - We updated the look-and-feel of many of the pages under the Personal tab and made some minor enhancements to other pages.


6. Expenses - We made it easier for administrators and managers to print or download employee expense sheets and receipts while reviewing expense sheets.


7. Fluid App Support - You can now login using Fluid web apps created from Fluid 1.0.


8. Web Browser Compatibility - We continue to support the most current versions of the most popular web browsers. This includes Chrome 11 and versions 3.6 and newer of Firefox. Check out the ClickTime system requirements for more information.

ClickTime 6.74

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.


3. Report Menu - We updated the look and feel of the Report menus. We've made it easier to access and select pre-built reports as well as your custom reports.


4. iOS and Browser Compatibility - We continue to support all major modern browsers including the following new releases:
   • Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9
   • Google's Chrome 10
   • Mozilla's Firefox 4
   • Apple's iOS 4.3 and its Safari browser on the iPad, iPad 2, iPhone and iPod Touch.

ClickTime 6.71

We are pleased to release ClickTime version 6.71. The update includes a new Desktop Application and performance improvements. The changes are as follows:

1. ClickTime Desktop Application - Version 3.1.103 of the Desktop Application is now available. The new version implements improvements and fixes issues based on customer feedback. The next time you launch the Desktop Application it will automatically update to the latest version.


2. List Views - We've continued enhancing the functionality and customizability of managing lists of people, clients, projects, tasks and divisions. We'll now remember how many rows per page you want displayed and dramatically improve performance with IE 7. We've also made it faster to add and remove columns from each list view.


3. Day View (beta) - We fixed an issue when using start/end times and the stopwatch while in certain time zones.

ClickTime 6.7

We are very happy to announce the release of ClickTime version 6.7. The update includes new managerial permissions and advanced list views to manage your employees, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. The changes are as follows:

1. Managerial Permissions - You can now grant and remove a manager's ability to view employee, client, job, task, expense and division lists. When a manager doesn't have the ability to view one or more of these lists, the corresponding navigational links will be hidden. In addition to these new options, we've improved how the managerial permissions are organized and displayed when adding and editing people.


2. List Views - We've significantly enhanced the functionality and customizability of managing lists of people, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. You can now add and remove columns in each of these list views, including custom fields. Searching a list will search all visible columns. Additionally, columns can be re-ordered and resized to adapt the lists to each person's preference. For example, you can now add to the "people list" a person's designated timesheet approver, employment type and division. Or add a project's estimated hours and location to the job list and then search for all projects being worked on by the New York office.


3. Updated UI - Along with the new look of our list views, we've started updating the look and feel of other pages under the Company tab. You'll notice the modernized interface when adding and editing people, clients, jobs, tasks and divisions. You can expect to see these changes in other areas of ClickTime over the next few months.
