for some projects, there is an output of that project ie making widgets. Right now I just know how long I spent on creating those widgets, not how many were made during that time. Itd be great if there was an additional field where output could be put. My suggestion would be adding 2 additional fields: one for the output and one for how that output is measured ( widgets, cups, eaches, boxes, etc). So Id be able to select a project - Making Widgets, Task - Blue widgets, SubTask - Putting on Wheels, OUTPUT - 300, MEASUREMENT - Cases.
Itd be an amazing help to be able to spot pinch points in the project.
In the app version time camp has features like the cake diagram. This and other diagram options would make it more presentable or readable for you brain ;)
It'd be great for the ability, in the android or web app, to collapse 'tasks' into single tile item with a timer start/stop button and the amount of time spent on that task that day. Then I can hit the start timer button on that task, or hit the start timer button on another task causing the first to auto stop. It would function just the same as the system does now, keeping track of the starts/stops as separate line items. But I don't need to see that list all the time and it's distracting. Just want some tiles, start/stop, title, and total time committed.
A competitor has this feature. I work remotely (different region) from my client and if there is a way for the app to select a specific time zone so it doesn't get confusing for everyonem that would be great.
Sorry if this repeats someone else's prior submission, but here's the bug: this week was 28, 29, 30 of Sep, then 1, 2, 3 Oct, and it sorted my custom/weekly report as 1,2,3,28,29,30! What? yea, it sorted numerically by day of the month, not M,T,W,T,F,S,S day of the week. PLEASE could you all do some programming to provide a chronological ordering in the custom report. I do a custom report with "Daily" as the 1st index. What other way is there to show a full week, which I then can transpose into my company time card system.
OK, here's part 2: Again on the custom report - please provide an option to display the day of the week: Mon; Tue; Wed; Thu; Fri; not just the calendar day of the month. It's on the timesheet (weekly) beautifully, but not on the custom reports. If they'd add a "day of Week" icon, and maybe a "date" icon, then a user could optionally add those in. In both cases, the sort is not alphabetical, of course, but this ought not be breakthrough programming either.
My work around for now: in the "notes", I put 1-Mon-28Sep; 2-Tue-29Sep; 3-Wed-30Sep; etc. then I use the notes for that axis, so it sorts based on the notes entry leading characters and I then remove "Daily" entirely. That way I can see day of week, and date, and the leading number, 1- through 7-, makes it sort chronologically.
So then my report goes 1-Mon-28Sep; 2-Tue-29Sep; 3-Wed-30Sep across the top, the x-axis, while the projects (tasks) are the y-axis.
Oh, since I'm gabbing, I constantly flip between that report and timesheet week view. that about all I use, the week view of timesheet, but every flip goes to timesheet day view. Can the "Timesheet" menu have a dropdown to go directly to week view, instead of the extra mousing to open day view, then click week view once there. Or just remember which view I used last and flip back to whichever view was most recently used.
I mean this product is so close to perfect, just a few bits like this would really put it over the top.
Possibility to change category based on the user or department. For example: Facebook for 99% of users is a social media platform, but for the PR/Marketing Dept - it's their basic tool.
For a report like this,
https://app.timecamp.com/time_tracking/task_report/xxxxx Can we please have a way of specifying the report parameters in the query string? For example, I want to be able to link to a report for "all time" and "all people" for a specific task
The filter selections are what I really care about when saving a custom report. The setup of the table is less of a concern as I typically use the same options all the time anyways.
This would make finding the relevant data I need much simpler. I could just click on my saved report for last weeks employee training time and see the all the training done last week.... or switch back to see just MY time from last week on all tasks .... or all my time on a single task.
Minha sugestão, é a inclusão de dois campos para cada tarefa, Data início e Data Fim. A data início será fixa e igual a data de criação da tarefa e a data fim livre para o usuário definir e alterar. Estes campos devem ser Data e Hora.
Na visão projetos será necessário incluir três opções de classificação automática, para utilização conforme a preferência do usuário: Data Início (crescente ou descrescente), Data Fim (crescente ou descrescente), Nome da tarefa (crescente ou decrescente). A classificação final será por hierarquia e o campo preferencial.
Se quiserem destacar as tarefas com o prazo vencido, fiquem á vontade, mas eu acho que a classificação automática é suficiente. Digo isso porque já possuem a categorização das tarefas por tag de cor.
A inclusão deste campo também permite a criação de um diagrama de gannt. Utilizando a mesma estrutura de hierarquia das tarefas, considerando a data início e a data fim e também as pessoas ou grupos atribuídos nas tarefas.
When one attempts to move a time entry, I see the alert message:
It is not allowed to move activities or merge entries while autocomplete mode is enabled due to incorrect values in duration and from-to. You can disable it in upper right corner by clicking gear icon.
I really think you should name the exact path to, and the name of exactly which option you are talking out. I searched for 10m and still didn't see any option called "autocomplete mode." Since moving a timeslice now and then might be helpful (esp if you don't have auto-sorting as per my previous suggestion) maybe making this option more accessible (like right on the timesheet as a checkbox) might be good.
I guess if you implement automated timeslice sorting (upon entering a work time period in the past) you can make all this go away.
It would be great if we could edit the titles of our entires. For example - I have one that says meeting with Elizabeth and Brooklyn. Brooklyn doesn't work there anymore - so would love to use the same title but just take out her name. Or I have one meeting where I spelled something wrong. So - would love to be able to edit it. Love your app!
I have task titles such as "layout of /Production-Guide/<productionGuideCategory>" in redmine that are being sync'd with timecamp. In a summary report on the tasks it is rendering these as full-fledged html tags rather than < > which means that a) I can't read the title properly and b) it might be a security problem because you can inject HTML rendering into issue titles
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

Apply a default time zone regardless of my computer system's time settings suggestion

Day of week on Custom Report, plus order by days of week, not days of month suggestion
