Admittedly, the current project and time tracking capabilities, while useful, leave much to be desired.  Our email box is full of suggestions.  As I have communicated to many of you, we shall continue to take these suggestions one at a time and make improvements in this area.

When you log in to your account and click on a project or task, you’ll notice a new menu option: “Show Time”.  Click on this to view the time entries for the selected project or task. Please do drop me a note with your thoughts on this feature addition.

We heard several complaints (yes… complaints) that Project and Time Tracking is not very useful, as it does not show all the information needed to manage projects.  Well, we are addressing these issues with highest priority.  To start with, now you’ll notice that we have added a new column in Tasks so that you can easily which project does a task belong to.  In addition, if you hover over a task or a project, you’ll get an unintrusive pop-up providing you more information about the project or task. 

 We have several enhancements planned for projects and tasks over next few weeks.  These include:

1. Visibility into time entries for each project/task.  Currently, you can only see the total time spent.
2. Ability to assign staff to a task. 
3. Ability to show projects, tasks, and time entries to your clients on a permission basis.
4. Add project details to invoices

Please drop me a note if there are other enhancements that you would like for make to projects section.
