Timesheets on your Mobile Phone

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Now all users can add and view their 1time timesheets on their mobile phone.

Each employee can login, add/edit timesheets and record time off such as holiday or sick days. In order to access the 1time mobile edition just add ‘/m’ to the end of your 1time domain in a mobile web browser and login as normal (e.g. http://mycompany.1time.net/m). You’ll be presented with options to change the daily view and update your timesheets. Bookmark the page to make it really easy to add time from anywhere.

All changes on the mobile site are automatically synced with the main desktop web version. It works on almost all modern mobile phones including the iPhone, Nokia N-series, Blackberry and many more.

We are very excited about this new way for users to add and view their time on the go and we have more features on the way. If you have any feedback, please let us know in the comments below. If you haven’t got an account yet, sign up to our for the free trial and give it a try.

External Client Views

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

We have just added a great new feature which will be very beneficial to those of you who bill out your time. We have created a new report external to the private administrator area that you can send to your client as a web page link, PDF or CSV file. This is an ideal way for a client to keep track of how much time is going into a project or it can be sent as a report at the end of a project as an attachment to an invoice. Either way this is going to streamline the process of reporting time spent on any billed projects to your client in a very professional manner.

You can find the link to the new report on any project view page. If you click on a specific project from the dashboard or from the relevant client page you will see a new link like the one here on the right.

The location of the report is secure (SSL) and the URL is scrambled so only a person you send the link to will know where to find it.

Within each project view the client will be able to view who has logged hours against their project and how much each day. It is also possible to download the report as a PDF or in CSV format and break it down by a specific month as seen the in the sample below.

If you have any questions on how to use the new feature or if you have any suggestions on how it works please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the comments below or on the feedback link at the bottom of each page within your 1time interface.

Scheduled Email Reminders

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

We have upgrade the email reminders so you can choose what time of the day email reminders will be sent out at. You can now also determine how many email reminders are sent to remind employee’s each day.

Previously you could only turn email reminders on or off for a particular employee. If email reminders was set to on then that employee would get three reminders the next day until they filled out timesheets equivalent in time to the working day length set for your company.

You can now set the times of the day that reminders are sent out and how often.

This gives you more control and we hope you like the new add on.

Now you can see the weekly report you used to get by email every Tuesday anytime from our new “Weekly Employee Report” screen. You can also traverse to previous weekly reports so you have historical data at hand.

Weekly Report

 

From this screenshot you can see how many hours each employee has worked each day or if they marked it as on holiday or sick. You will notice from the screenshots that an employee who has entered in the enough time for the working day shows up in green. If they haven’t entered in enough time it shows in red and allocated time off shows up in orange.

This is all part of the approval process, where by if there are any descrpencies you can contact the relevant person and request any updates.

Thats all for now, more updates to come soon.
