When working on multiple projects and switching between them, using Keywords to automate the tracking is a great feature.
It would be great if the Automatic tracking link in the Timecamp client would open of the current project's web page where the user could edit that project's Keywords. Right now it pops-up that a message saying nothing can be done when it's in Automatic mode. The user could edit the Keywords it uses to select the project.
This would make it much easier to manage Keywords as one works instead of trying to set aside time to adjust all the tasks and projects one could be working on.
We often find that it would be useful to track how much time was spent on a particular file, but only added the task or keyword after we had started. It would be useful to be able to search back through past entries and assign them to the new task. This often happens when something appears to be a quick task but ends up taking somebody a lot longer to work through, so it would be useful to be able to put a cost against it.
A great addition to the TimeCamp platform would be to support webhooks. Beeing able to register http requests on TimeCamp events would be nice. Something like this would allow us to connect with any platform that doesn't have a specific integration yet, such as Microsoft Flow. It would be perfect to automate task and link with other systems.
All of our projects move through individually invoiced stages that don't overlap. It would be really useful to be able to define the start and end date of each stage in a project so that any automatically recorded entries that fall within that date range could be tagged with that particular project stage. If a report function was also developed then this would make it really simple to compare the quoted time for a piece of work with the actual time spent doing it and would allow us to either adjust future billing or it would highlight where staff might need further training.
The only way around this I have found so far is to define subtasks for projects and have a sub-task for each stage. However, because we don't change the project number when moving from stage to stage there is no new unique keyword that we can use for any stage that will differentiate it from any other stage of the project. This means that each user has to manually select work stages for every task that is recorded, which start to make the automatic nature of TimeCamp a lot less effective and takes us back toward using manual timesheets that we used prior to moving to TC.
I have a client who keeps "missing" the emails because they all pile under the same archived email, because with Gmail things do that when the subject line is always the same. He wants the email to come with the new invoice number on it. It would be cool to have that as an Option. Other of my clients like it that the invoices all stick together, then they know where to find them!
I also REALLY want to be able to set the default text in the email so I don't have to modify it each time, or just live with the text that is automatically supplied.
In the API documentation I can see that you store the Invoice ID for each time record. However, I can't find it in the UI. It would be great if I could filter time records by invoice number and get the invoice number on exports. It would also be great to have a button next to an invoice where I can get to the filtered list of time records.
I have a company with older employees and they can navigate their basic phone functions not so much the email aspect. Would be helpful to have an email and telephone option for setting up users
You all suffer from typical clean interface design disease where you think that lack of text makes an app easier to use.
Is a user really supposed to intuit that a clock means timesheet entry, a pie chart means reports, and a file folder means projects?? More over, why should I have to remember that, when the text descriptions served as fine navigation bar entries in the past?
At least have some mercy and add a hover tooltip that tells what the icons are for.
Estimates Report was previously sorted by Name.
It is now sorted by Tracked from highest amount of time to lowest.
We use Estimates Report to See if Time is Staying within the Estimated Hours for the Project.
Is the Old Estimates Report available?
It would also be helpful to have a percentage overage for how many extra hours were tracked over the estimated hours.
There is no Estimates button in the Custom Reports.
One thing that bugs me all the time is that whenever I click 'Show report for this task' in the Timesheet, I expect to see the total hours. And every time, I must go and select "All time" to see them. It's very annoying.
It would be nice if either the state persists once it's selected, or if it could be set from the settings as a default.
It would be good if you could select computer time on a given application/file/document and convert it to a time sheet record by assigning it to a task.
There has been many instances where a staff member can create a project that already exists because of an error or an improper search or even when it comes to spacing of a company name when creating a project (ex. J&G Restorations vs J & G Restorations, etc.). Or some items that were accidentally created by staff as a project that should of just been a task under another category.
This has lead to having some duplicate projects or tasks that have been created. We need a way to be able to merge these projects or tasks without losing all of the data entered in them. Currently we would have to manually change each entry in Time Camp in order to not avoid losing anything. There needs to be a quicker and more effective way to doing this.
Seems like an easy enough function that should be implemented especially for companies, like ours, who have hundreds (soon to be thousands) of projects and work on multiple projects on the same day with multiple entries where these type of errors are more prevelant
in custom report the only option is that the weekly entries are descending, so first you see last week. We would like to make a monthly report starting with the first (oldest) week and ending with the last week.
Could you please incorporate 'Cost' into the Custom Reports? That would allow us to get fiananicla costs reports per projects once the hourly rates are input.
Too many company integrations (which are cyclically linked and duplicative at that) - Jira + Asana -> JIRA). If a user that never uses JIRA or Asana could configure themselves to "hide" or otherwise ignore those issues it would avoid a lot of "flooding" and overload of the dropdown and improve perofrmance.
Insightly CRM and Desktop App on Mac OS suggestion
Tasks do not show up in the Desktop App for Mac OS for Insightly Tasks, Ops or Projects
Monthly Time Sheets suggestion
We do monthly time sheets, can we do approval by monthly please?
Timecamp Client - Automatic Mode Tracking - Click to edit Project Keywords suggestion

Ability to back date project tracking suggestion
We often find that it would be useful to track how much time was spent on a particular file, but only added the task or keyword after we had started. It would be useful to be able to search back through past entries and assign them to the new task. This often happens when something appears to be a quick task but ends up taking somebody a lot longer to work through, so it would be useful to be able to put a cost against it.
Support for Webhooks suggestion

Ability to add jpegs so client can preview what he is being billed for. suggestion
Definable work stages for projects suggestion
All of our projects move through individually invoiced stages that don't overlap.

Emailed Invoice Subject Line - Customizable, or include invoice number? suggestion
I have a client who keeps "missing" the emails because they all pile under the same archived email, because with Gmail things do that when the subject line is always the same. He wants the email to come with the new invoice number on it. It would be cool to have that as an Option.

Time records for invoices suggestion
In the API documentation I can see that you store the Invoice ID for each time record. However, I can't find it in the UI. It would be great if I could filter time records by invoice number and get the invoice number on exports. It would also be great to have a button next to an invoice where I can get to the filtered list of time records.
Add Users Via Telephone Number suggestion
I have a company with older employees and they can navigate their basic phone functions not so much the email aspect. Would be helpful to have an email and telephone option for setting up users
Drag and drop functionality in a "Week" view suggestion
Currently, you cannot simply drag'n'drop whole block of time entry within a day.
At least add tooltips to new text-free navigation interface!! suggestion
You all suffer from typical clean interface design disease where you think that lack of text makes an app easier to use.
Is a user really supposed to intuit that a clock means timesheet entry, a pie chart means reports, and a file folder means projects?? More over, why should I have to remember that, when the text descriptions served as fine navigation bar entries in the past?

Different favicon for working timer suggestion
When I have TomeCamp as pinned page in browser I can't see if timer works or not. All I need is red dot as e.g. in Messanger tab icon :-)
Rate selection suggestion
Allow people to choose rates based on each task entered in the schedule, or associate rates with a specific task within a project.
Estimates Report Sort by Name, Add % of Estimated Hours Remaining Column, Add Estimates to Custom Reports suggestion
Estimates Report was previously sorted by Name.
It is now sorted by Tracked from highest amount of time to lowest.
We use Estimates Report to See if Time is Staying within the Estimated Hours for the Project.
Is the Old Estimates Report available?

Disable website tracking when in Incognito suggestion
Bulk edit for a week view suggestion
Currently, only Day view has "Bulk edit" feature. Would love to have it for a week view.
Blure Screenshots suggestion
add option to blur screenshot which are sent to server (in case of sensitive data, sending clear screenshot is not a good idea)
Set default task report date range (or make it persistent in between sessions) suggestion
One thing that bugs me all the time is that whenever I click 'Show report for this task' in the Timesheet, I expect to see the total hours. And every time, I must go and select "All time" to see them. It's very annoying.
It would be nice if either the state persists once it's selected, or if it could be set from the settings as a default.
Convert computer time records into time sheet entries assigning to task suggestion
It would be good if you could select computer time on a given application/file/document and convert it to a time sheet record by assigning it to a task.
Zendesk App push update in Timecamp suggestion
When you start logging time in Zendesk, you can't see the logged time until TC syncs the information between Zendesk and TC.
Solution: When you start logging time in Zendesk the app pushes the data on the ticket to TC.
Merging Projects or Tasks suggestion
There has been many instances where a staff member can create a project that already exists because of an error or an improper search or even when it comes to spacing of a company name when creating a project (ex. J&G Restorations vs J & G Restorations, etc.). Or some items that were accidentally created by staff as a project that should of just been a task under another category.

in reports the choice to see the time-entries ascending or descending suggestion
in custom report the only option is that the weekly entries are descending, so first you see last week. We would like to make a monthly report starting with the first (oldest) week and ending with the last week.
Cost in Custom reports suggestion
Could you please incorporate 'Cost' into the Custom Reports? That would allow us to get fiananicla costs reports per projects once the hourly rates are input.
Ability to hide or otherwise not include selected projects in the primary Project drop down field suggestion
Too many company integrations (which are cyclically linked and duplicative at that) - Jira + Asana -> JIRA). If a user that never uses JIRA or Asana could configure themselves to "hide" or otherwise ignore those issues it would avoid a lot of "flooding" and overload of the dropdown and improve perofrmance.
