Several enhancements to our timesheet module went live today:

  • You can now enter task quantity within a timesheet for fixed price tasks where the task type is set-up to update or increment task actual quantity from a timesheet. This was earlier delivered using a list input mode within the timesheet marked as “daily view” (1 row per time entry). Now users can also enter quantity – e.g. number of classes delivery or calls taken – directly from the overview mode. There is a display only quantity sum at the end of each row for the week, plus a user editable quantity input field within the time entry cell details tab at the bottom
  • Tasks assigned to an employee can be made to auto-load into the timesheet based on a new timesheet type setting called “Number of tasks to auto-load”. If the employee is assigned to this number of tasks or fewer then timesheet rows are automatically populated for each assigned task. If the employee is assigned to too many tasks, rather than pre-populating a huge multi-page timesheet and forcing the user to search around, the assigned tasks do not pre-load and the user can select the required task based on search, customer or project as before
  • Users can now navigate to a different timesheet period or week directly from the calendar which drops down when clicking on the timesheet from/to dates between the previous and next timesheet arrows. So if you want to go back say two months rather than clicking “previous week” 6-7 times you can now select any date within the period you want to go back from the calendar
  • The save button has been given a menu similar to the menu in other iBE.net apps with options on hover for “save and back” (goes right back to timesheet list) and “save as copy” (creates a copy of the current timesheet in the next available period)
  • Rather than clicking on text links or menu options to navigate between the week overview (the default view), the daily view (showing all time-entries for a single day in a list) and the list view (showing all time entries for the whole period in a longer list), the three views are now organized into a handy toggle-button. This button shows both the current view and the other two options
  • A fix was applied whereby column label changes in the timesheet module were not being picked up properly. Now you can edit the column header text labels for any table or multi-column list in iBE.net, including the timesheet
