Mark Nemtsas: December 2009 Archives

I've just released another minor update of Timesheets Lite. This version just fixes up a problem with the Project Activity Report not completing correctly when it contains a project with no activity during the report period. I also changed the printing format of the same report slightly and re-ordered the Tools->Reports menu.

I've just released a new version of Timesheets MTS addressing some reporting issues as well as some tweaks to some reports, and changing the way that the add time screen works slightly. Details of the release can be found below.

• Added an 'invoiced' column to the Project Expenditure Report.
• Added three new columns to the Issue Report, the start date, the due date, and the project notes.
• Changed the way that the project and task drop downs work on the add time screen. You can just type in the first few letters/numbers of the project number or task number and the software will match up project or task for you from your list of projects or tasks. Makes things a lot easier if you have a very long project or task list.
• Added a 'Use Employee Abbreviation' setting to the Detailed Activity Report. Simply allows you to show the employee abbreviation rather than the full name on the report.
• Fixed up a small formatting problem with the project task report.
• Fixed up some resizing problems with the add/edit times screen that users on Vista and Windows 7 were seeing.

A very minor release of Timesheets Lite today addressing a report I broke with the last release. The date column headers on the Daily Timesheets report were not incrementing correctly (thanks to the user that spotted this and let me know). This is now fixed up.

I've released a new version of Timesheets Lite today that includes some tidying up to the backend of the software, some cleanups to the user interface, and added a new report. The details of the new release can be found below:

• Added entries for the project common activity report, daily timesheet report, and the new project activity report to the Tools->Reporting menu.
• Added the new project activity report. This produces a spreadsheet with a worksheet per project. Each project is broken down into the users times and then gives sub-totals per user and per common activity.
• Fixed some date formatting problems on the daily timesheet report.
• Changed a lot of the backend code in the software in anticipation of a user interface re-vamp for the software.
• Changed the way the Reset Password button on the Employee Maintenance screen works to prompt users as to what the password is being reset to.
