Release notes February 2024

New currency logic 

As noted in release notes for January 2024, the new logic behind multi-currency handling has been implemented on almost all customer sites. We will now focus on customers with a more complex setup, meaning we only need about 20 customers. 

It will involve communication with each customer, and we will contact you if your site is among the last ones.  

We will be sure to talk in detail when the time comes. 

You can learn more about the improved currency handling, what changes your system can experience, and why. 

Please take a look at our Help Center.

All users on PSA plans have been upgraded to the latest design 

In February, all users on a PSA plan experienced a new design and user interface. The update includes a new system front page, updated navigation and more. Data remains the same; only the interface has changed.

Learn more about the specific changes in this video:

Notification Center out of Preview features 

The Notification Center has been released to standard in the Growth, Professional and Enterprise PSA plans.  

As a Manager or someone with approval rights in TimeLog, the Notification Center streamlines your daily tasks by alerting you to any pending actions requiring approval, such as time registrations or expenses.

You'll find the Notification Center on the front page. 

Activate approval 

You might not have approval activated if you can't see the Notification Center on your front page. Ask your TimeLog responsible for ensuring that your TimeLog site has approval activated and the relevant users have approval privileges activated in their roles.  

Want to change your front page? 

If the front page is not visible today, you can select which page in your TimeLog you prefer to be directed to under your profile and preferences. 

For more information, please visit our Help center.

Updated filter use in the resource planner  

When you apply project filters in the employee view or employee filters in the project view, rest assured that the filters will effectively eliminate any irrelevant data, ensuring a streamlined and focused resource planning experience.

Release notes January 2024

New multi-currency logic rolled out to almost all customers

Learn more about the improved currency handling, what changes you can experience in your system and why. 

You can find more information in our Help Center.

Exclude non-billable registrations from the report: Monthly Customer Approval.

Due to customer requests, we have changed the report 'Monthly customer Approval' to exclude non-billable hours.

You can use the report as part of your client approval process, making it easy for your clients to approve hours booked on their projects, which ensures they will pay for the hours when sending the invoice. 

• If you need an approval report with non-billable hours included, you can activate the report EU projects in the system administration and on the role. 

Release notes December 2023 

New currency handling in TimeLog 

Changed currency handling logic is being rolled out to all customers during Q1 2024. 

Back in September 2023, a new currency logic was implemented for all new customers and in trials. Now the time has come for existing customers on all plans.   

What you need to know about currency handling logic: 

• Currencies will go from being handled per project to being handled in periods.  
• A new Exchange rate view will appear under Finance in the system administration 
• Go to the Exchange rate view to see the exchange rate periods and the specific exchange rates.  
• If you need to manually edit and update your exchange rates as well as manual periods and currencies, please talk to your TimeLog Growth Manager about TimeLogs Enterprise plan 
• The Currency Settings page, located in the system administration, will be renamed Available currencies and will only be connected to available currencies in the system drop-down menus. 
• Currencies related to a Legal entity will operate in their local currencies, instead of the system currency. 

If you have multiple legal currencies: 

• All currencies related to a Legal entity will be available in that Legal entity’s currency. Examples are: 
  
  • Employee costs are now in local currency.
  • Expense types are now per legal entity.
  • Allowance rates are now per legal entity. 

If you're not utilising multiple currencies in TimeLog, then you don't have to change anything. The currency handling is by default a fully automated function.

Internal message box on the front page 

The internal message box has been streamlined to follow our design principles, moreover, it will remember the expand / collapse state by your choice! 

Notification center enhancements 

The Notification center makes daily work easier for users with the Manager role in TimeLog.   

The notification center has been improved:  

1.  A more simplistic look 
2. Save your setting, i.e. expand / collapse state 
3. Period has been added to "approve timesheets". 

The notification center is placed on the front page of your TimeLog PSA system if it's turned on in your preview features.

The notification center will be released to standard in the PSA plans Growth, Professional and Enterprise plans during January 2024.

TimeLog for desktop enhancements 

Now you get an easier overview of how many hours you’ve tracked.

When you submit your timesheet from the desktop tracker, you can now see:

• How many hours you’ve tracked in the week 
• How many hours you will submit based on the selected dates

Please note that: 

• The amount of hours always reflects the amount of hours registered in the current week 
• When closing the timesheet, the number of hours reflects the registered hours on the selected days 

Add comments to an active stopwatch  

Furthermore, you can add comments on an active stopwatch in TimeLog for Desktop. To add a comment to an active stopwatch, double-click the comment section and add a comment without stopping the stopwatch.

Get the improvements – download the latest version

Two new front page widgets for the Project manager

The new widgets are:

• Project tasks completion

Project task completion shows hours budgeted vs. hours registered per project. The difference will be the completion rate. Registered absence shows planned absence for employees allocated to the project(s) of the Project manager.  

You can read more about the new widgets and how to turn them on here.

Technical updates

Testing tools upgrade: We have transitioned from Cypress to Playwright for our end-to-end testing, providing better testing capabilities. 

Modern-build tool: TimeLog's frontend code builder, Create React App, has replaced the faster and more modern tool, Vite. This change was necessary as the Create React App is no longer actively maintained. 

These changes have brought about some exciting benefits: 

• Significantly improved the system's speed and created a more efficient development environment. 
• Reduced build-pipeline-time from a maximum of 1 hour and 15 minutes to 37 minutes.

New front-page widgets for Project managers

TimeLog provides accurate and relevant widgets, which gives the Project manager direct insight into the state of the projects. We have focused on areas where project performance is threatened, and insights are hard to find.

With widgets, you get quick access and an accessible overview of essential data, such as Monthly invoices, Average hourly rate, Completion of project tasks and Absence plans. When turned on in Preview features, they will become visible on the front page of your TimeLog system. This feature is only for users with a Project manager role and rights; additionally, you must have project privileges.

You can read more about the widgets and how to turn them on here.

Released in TimeLog PSA plan Growth, Professional and Enterprise (only as a preview feature).

New automatic exchange rate handling and currency logic 

All trial sites and new TimeLog-sites will use a new currency handling logic with more automation.

The new currency model will be centralised and consistent instead of the more cumbersome per-project model.

This is the first step in rolling out a new currency handling logic for all customers.

The new currency handling functionality handles exchange rates over periods instead of doing it per project and invoice.

What is currency periods?

Exchange rates change every period, and by default, an exchange period is one month long.

Example:
DKK to SEK in August will use the rate 1,59
DKK to SEK in September will use the rate 1,61

You will hear more about the new currency handling logic when we roll it out for all customers.

Released in TimeLog PSA trials and new TimeLog-sites.

Zendesk integration

You can now find TimeLog as an app in the Zendesk marketplace. Proventic has built a TimeLog integration for Zendesk. The integration is supported by Proventic but can be used by TimeLog customers.
