Release notes for Time Tracker for Outlook v1.5 (released July 24, 2008)

Hello, Time Tracker for Outlook users!

We’re excited to announce that the new version of Time Tracker for Outlook has some new features that you have requested:

• Notes from Subject or Body fields: There’s a new option in the Options dialog box that lets you pick whether you want your Notes to come from when you send an appointment or email message to Time Tracker. Now you can choose to grab your Notes from the Subject field (as before), or from the Body field.
   
• Save non-billable time entries without customer jobs or service items: Previously, both billable and non-billable time entries were required to have customer jobs and service items. You can still specify them if you wish, but they are no longer required for non-billable entries.

Features from our July 31 release

We made several updates to our Time Tracker for Microsoft Outlook beta. If you are currently using the previous version, you will want to download the latest revision from the home page. The key issues resolved are:

• The majority of all known Outlook 2007 compatibility issues.
• Several of the issues that caused the plug-in to crash.
• Many of the other bugs reported by beta testers.

We appreciate all your help in making this revision of the beta that much better.

Features from our July 12 release

The recent release includes the following new features:

• We are pleased to announce a very cool feature to the service, Time Tracker for Microsoft Outlook. Time Tracker for Microsoft Outlook allows time trackers the ability to track time in their Outlook calendar which can then be made available to Administrators for download. This feature is currently in beta and we are very excited to hear your feedback.
• Time Trackers now have more flexibility when copying an existing timesheet to a blank one. They will be able to copy only customer:jobs and service items, or copy their hours as well, from any date they choose.

Thanks for your help in making this a better service.

Features from our June 21 release

Today we released more enhancements based on your input:

• Administrators can now customize the invitation email that is sent to employees and contractors to sign-up for the service as well as customize the reminder emails. This means that you can opt out of the default email content and include your company’s style and tone in your message.

As always, we appreciate your feedback.

Features from our June 5 release

Our recent update includes the following:

• We heard from customers that data was still lost after the
  timesheet timed out. This should no longer occur. After re-login, the
  hours entered by a time tracker should be saved.
• A new look and feel for the Home page that time trackers see when they login.
• Confirmation at the bottom of the timesheet indicating the number of hours in the saved, submitted, and downloaded state.

Thanks for your continued feedback.

Features from our May 22 release

We have made more enhancements based on feedback from our users. These new features include:

• When individual time trackers login to the service, they will now see a Home page that gives them quick access to what is important to them. There is even a link to this blog for users to what has changed in the latest release.
• Individual time trackers will also be able to submit time right from the Home page. While users can still submit time from the timesheet itself, this feature allows users to submit any outstanding saved time, regardless of which timesheet it is on. It even allows for users to deselect time activities that they do not want to be sent to the administrators.
• You will also notice new reporting capabilities for both administrators and time trackers. Users will be able to custom define report criteria to help them answer questions like, “How many hours did I work with this client over the last month?”

Again, we hope these changes are useful. Please let us know what you think.
