TeamTime just went up a gear

We’ve added some new bells and whistles to the latest version of TeamTime:

  • Add your own columns to the timesheet (Custom Columns)
  • Pull data from multiple TeamTime sites in to a single place (Overview Site)

Custom Columns

You can now add and reorder columns on the timesheet on your TeamTime homepage. For example, you can add Cost Center codes to record where the time is chargeable to:

tt_cc_example

This data can then be used to produce Reports and Analysis within TeamTime. It can be accessed via our extensibility lists to integrate with other systems in your organisation.

Here are some other useful columns you could add:

  • Overtime flag
  • Chargeable client
  • AM/PM

For more information see our Custom Column Guide.

Overview Site

Since there is no limit to the number of TeamTime sites you can have, we encourage creating smaller sites with fewer users. We’d recommend about 10-20, and certainly less than 50.

Having several small sites keeps it easier to use, as Marketing isn’t tripping over Development’s tasks, and the approvers don’t waste time trying to figure out who the heck “David Jones” is.

The next question is of course “How do I consolidate the data from all those sites into one place?”, and the answer is to use an Overview site.

Overview

Simply create an Overview site exactly as you would a normal TeamTime site, and pull the data from all your sites in the site collection into one place.

The Reports and Analysis are in the same familiar location and layout, with direct access to the consolidated list data as a bonus.

For more information see our Overview Site Guide.

SharePoint TeamTime: It’s Time for Beta!

teamtime-big-noshadowWe have started beta testing our newest product SharePoint TeamTime and we expect it to be finished in the next couple of weeks!

Sign me up! Wait… what is it again?

TeamTime is a time tracking site template for SharePoint. Users track their time by entering it into a timesheet (a.k.a. timecard) or by punching in and out of tasks.

You can then get an overview of everyone’s time logged using our custom reporting tool and embedded versions of PivotPoint and FilterPoint that come preconfigured in the site.

Tell me more!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s a glimpse of what’s inside:

‘My Dashboard’

‘Analysis by Week’

To look in more detail at how it works (or just to see more pictures), you can have a glance at our manual: SharePoint TeamTime manual.

If you want to be notified when its released then signup here.

Whats a Beta test and can I help?

Its the final stage in testing a software product before its released into the real world. All the major bugs should have been squashed but there may be some minor problems left. The idea is to get broad feedback from ‘real’ users that will help pick up problems, omissions or things that are just a little confusing that you wouldn’t find otherwise.

Beta testing isn’t for everyone – these are the things you should bear in mind :-

  • You need to be reasonably proficient with SharePoint.
  • You will need an in-house deployment of SharePoint 2010 or 2007 – its not suitable for BPOS/Office 365
  • You should have a “non-production” environment to test in.
  • You will need to have some time free to give it a good test and provide feedback.

If you would like to help us Beta test this then please e-mail us: support@pentalogic.net
