Added value widgets
The new Added Value Widgets are designed to provide detailed insights into productivity and financial metrics within a company. These widgets are targeted at employees, project managers, and other stakeholders who need to analyze and display productivity metrics.
The widgets compare the added value generated each month against the amount invoiced within the fiscal year. This helps in understanding the financial impact of the work done.
Widgets
Added value per month: This widget is targeted at employees and project managers. It allows users to toggle between seeing registered or estimated value in one bar, with the number of hours and the average hourly rate shown in the mouseover text.
Added value and BAR per month: This widget is designed for employees and project managers with an interest in invoicing and revenue. It displays two bars: one showing the registered or estimated value and another showing the invoiced amount (BAR). The number of hours and the average hourly rate are shown in the mouseover text.
Impact: These widgets enhance the user's ability to monitor and analyze productivity and financial performance, leading to better decision-making and improved efficiency. They provide a clear understanding of monthly and year-to-date productivity, average hourly rates, and the financial impact of the work done.

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.

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