When editing Tasks that have been recorded or are currently being recorded with tags attached, the edit of the comment clears all the tag info.
for example, I record 4 hours of a task with the tag "Support", then the next day I need to add a comment to the record so I enter a comment, this causes the tag or tags to clear.
I often forget to start the timer when working on a task. Then I have to go into my browser, open Timecamp create an entry. And that means I sometimes forget to book time. I'd love to be able to do more than just start the timer on the desk top app. Here are a couple of use cases:
In a meeting realise I forgot to start the timer. Start the timer in the desktop app and adjust the start time.
Finish working on a job and realise I didn't start the timer. Use the desk top app to create a manual time entry.
There are times when I start one task, then have to jump to something else, and then go back to the first task I was working on. Because I have put extensive notes for each entry to satisfy my client's timekeeping requirements it would be very handy to be able to duplicate or copy an existing time entry.
First off: I love the Google Calendar Integration! (saves so much typing and copy & pasting). I also love the automatic timesheet feature that matches up keywords found to categorize an activity into a matching project. I think a great enhancement would be if the Google Calendar import could similarly check for keyword match (in the notes field in this case). My dozen or so weekly meetings all have the same meeting title which appears in the notes after import.
I love the app, No joke, I really REALLY do. My client is insisting on me to account for literally every minute and what exactly was worked on and OMG, TimeCamp is a life saver, especially how it tracks which documents I had open when and how long (And I'd be glad to elaborate in a testimonial, and really brag how much your app helped us!).
SO I have three concerns:
1) It would be nice when a user opens the Timesheet tab that if the prior view was "weekly" that the app "remembers" to it open up that same view! I go back and forth a lot and it would be so much more convenient if the app took care of doing that (rather than the user needing to keep having to click it);
2) Our industry (pharmaceutical manufacturing) is mandated by the FDA to use a specific date format, usually in "30SEP21" format (or sometimes "30-SEP-21" which is also acceptable) since otherwise, you can't tell between the European and US formats (eg. is 10/11/21 October 11th or November 10th?). Excel handles this by offering a format choice "DD-MMM-YY" (or "DD-MMM-YYY"), and it knows to put the MMM as text string, 3 digit abbreviation. (TimeCamp only offers a 2 digit numeric representation of month)
Meanwhile, I'm retyping all my dates into this format for my submitted report (fortunately, I'm paid by the hour- LOL).
3) I really compliment the reporting options- I use "custom" (for my timecards). The format I use/need is 'day, task, hours' one week at a time with daily aggregation by task. BUT, the date format is primitive, it's only the day of the month. Two problems:
3a) The sort in the report is exclusively only the most recent day first. But I need option for oldest first (please)
3b) I also need the full date (see #2) in the "DD-MMM-YY" format. (now I have to retype) instead of just the two digit day as a numeric.
(I tried to see if "weekly" would help, but that is just pegged as one day, on the Saturday of the Week ended, but not the day by day date! Plus my week ends Sunday night, but I'm not hung up on that part).
Please add logging of phone calls into the Timesheet.
You can do this with your own App, or simply by integration to other phone call logging apps, like Phone Vili, etc.
We work in numerous counties with varied state and local tax rates. It would be nice to just apply a set tax rate per client that the invoice would default to, instead of having to look up the specific county the jobs are in, and apply it accordingly.
Right now if I maek a report for a range of 2020-06-01 to 2021-08-31, the date widget says I'm choosing the date range June 1 - Aug 31, 2021, which is incorrect.
If I create a report involving 5-6 teammates, collating data from 10 different projects from a list of 200, for a specific time frame, I'd like to be able to save and reload my search parameters. And then, to be able to modify the parameters to add new people, change dates, etc.
Apple has recently made their screentime API available to developers. This would make it possible to have mobile iOS/iPadOS data immported into timecamp. This would be a great feature.
We would like the ability to customize reports to show the fields that we need and the multiple users. For example, this would allow us to see everyone on the timesheet / Simple Dashboard at once. Once these reports are configured, we would like to be able to save it and assign it a report title.
The option exists to copy a time entry/entries to either a single day, or to a range of days, where the range of days copies it to every day within that time period. My suggestion is to allow users to copy a time entry to multiple days that may not be every day within a range. For example, I have a meeting that recurs every Tuesday. And a different meeting that recurs every Tuesday and Thursday. Currently, I must copy these meetings one by one, or I must copy to a range, and delete the days the meetings don't occur on. The current functionality results in almost the same number of clicks/time to copy the entries as to just create new entries.
Good idea, we will surely take that into consideration.
Meanwhile if this meeting are kept in Google Calendar you may integrate your account with Google Calendar and then all of them will appear in your timesheet.
It would be nice to have a list of favourites when selecting the task/project to start a timer. Usually, we work on many different projects, scheduled meetings, etc. Currently we have to search the tasks, which can be improved if I'm able to select the tasks from a list of favourites.
It will be nice to automate time entries updates from Zapier, or/and deletion of them. I have an integration that brings time entries into the system as non-billable, and I would like to transform them automatically into billable if the project is configured as such.
We decided not to export "custom" report to PDF, because it may have many columns and we can't guarantee that all will fit into one page. But it is not said it will ever stay that way. Thanks for your feedback.
As I agreed to a daily rate, my hourly rate contains more than 2 decimals (.625). When creating an invoice, this gets rounded to .63 and it results in incorrect totals for my invoices which are not modifiable. I can't find a workaround and it makes the invoices no longer usable.
Currently, the interface is very mouse-dependent. When I tab to progress to the next field, it doesn't tab in the expected order. In addition, there are no keyboard shortcuts that allow fast dat entry or notes. Please adjust the tab ordering and implement keyboard shortcuts
Tags Clearing when comments are edited error

for example, I record 4 hours of a task with the tag "Support", then the next day I need to add a comment to the record so I enter a comment, this causes the tag or tags to clear.
Add time manually in desktop app suggestion
I often forget to start the timer when working on a task. Then I have to go into my browser, open Timecamp create an entry. And that means I sometimes forget to book time. I'd love to be able to do more than just start the timer on the desk top app. Here are a couple of use cases:

Finish working on a job and realise I didn't start the timer. Use the desk top app to create a manual time entry.
Firefox add-on suggestion
My preferred browser is Firefox. I would like a TimeCamp add-on for Firefox that works with TickTick.
Copy an existing time entry suggestion
There are times when I start one task, then have to jump to something else, and then go back to the first task I was working on. Because I have put extensive notes for each entry to satisfy my client's timekeeping requirements it would be very handy to be able to duplicate or copy an existing time entry.

Apply set Tax Rates to Specific Clients suggestion
We work in numerous counties with varied state and local tax rates. It would be nice to just apply a set tax rate per client that the invoice would default to, instead of having to look up the specific county the jobs are in, and apply it accordingly.
In the suggestion form, allow me to edit messages and fix a typo after posting if I spot one. :-) suggestion
Display year when selecting a date range suggestion
Right now if I maek a report for a range of 2020-06-01 to 2021-08-31, the date widget says I'm choosing the date range June 1 - Aug 31, 2021, which is incorrect.
Save reports, to quickly reopen them and allow to modify their parameters suggestion
If I create a report involving 5-6 teammates, collating data from 10 different projects from a list of 200, for a specific time frame, I'd like to be able to save and reload my search parameters. And then, to be able to modify the parameters to add new people, change dates, etc.
Client-Project/Matter Association suggestion
Subject says it all. Abilityt to lkink clients to projects/matters in a parent child relationship.
Apple Screentime API suggestion
Apple has recently made their screentime API available to developers. This would make it possible to have mobile iOS/iPadOS data immported into timecamp. This would be a great feature.
Time Scheduling suggestion
The ability to set designated times of when to work on specific tasks by employee.
Weekly hour limits on users. Or a least the estimated hours feature per user and not just subtask. suggestion
For example if you want to cap a person at 15 hours per week as per their contract.
Reports suggestion
We would like the ability to customize reports to show the fields that we need and the multiple users. For example, this would allow us to see everyone on the timesheet / Simple Dashboard at once. Once these reports are configured, we would like to be able to save it and assign it a report title.
Copy time entries to multiple noncontiguous days suggestion
The option exists to copy a time entry/entries to either a single day, or to a range of days, where the range of days copies it to every day within that time period. My suggestion is to allow users to copy a time entry to multiple days that may not be every day within a range. For example, I have a meeting that recurs every Tuesday.

Meanwhile if this meeting are kept in Google Calendar you may integrate your account with Google Calendar and then all of them will appear in your timesheet.
Favourites tasks/projects. suggestion Checked
It would be nice to have a list of favourites when selecting the task/project to start a timer. Usually, we work on many different projects, scheduled meetings, etc. Currently we have to search the tasks, which can be improved if I'm able to select the tasks from a list of favourites.
Add Update option into Zapier integration suggestion
It will be nice to automate time entries updates from Zapier, or/and deletion of them. I have an integration that brings time entries into the system as non-billable, and I would like to transform them automatically into billable if the project is configured as such.
Calendar Dropdown suggestion Checked
Please adjust the calendars to have a dropdown so you can choose the month or year without having to click through each month.
Add "Previous 12 months filter" to Reporting time suggestion Checked
instead of just this year it would be great to see a previous 12 months filter to the reporting
Can it be possible to export custom reports as a PDF option please as with other report templates? suggestion
Instead of only being able to export to excel, it would be great to be able to export custom reports to PDFS please
We decided not to export "custom" report to PDF, because it may have many columns and we can't guarantee that all will fit into one page. But it is not said it will ever stay that way. Thanks for your feedback.
Invoicing -> hourly rate with more than 2 decimals. error
As I agreed to a daily rate, my hourly rate contains more than 2 decimals (.625). When creating an invoice, this gets rounded to .63 and it results in incorrect totals for my invoices which are not modifiable. I can't find a workaround and it makes the invoices no longer usable.
duplication of invoice format suggestion
It would be great to have a way to duplicate invoice format for specific client so one doesn't have to retype all categories each time.
Allow keyboard shortcuts and tabbing to minimize mouse clicking suggestion
Currently, the interface is very mouse-dependent. When I tab to progress to the next field, it doesn't tab in the expected order. In addition, there are no keyboard shortcuts that allow fast dat entry or notes. Please adjust the tab ordering and implement keyboard shortcuts
