The time tracking in aC 1.1 is a huge improvement.. really makes life easier to record where the hours go.. but I'd really like to see a start/stop widget or function to track where the minutes go too... (I use http://www.getcashboard.com/dashboard_widget_time_tracker which is good but an aC time widget would be better) ;)

@aristedes - the harvest widget looks nice.

A lovely piece of design and so nice to use. Now, if something similar was available for AC it would be terrific.

I'll add a request for task codes as well. We need users to enter task codes and print time reports for the pay period to submit to accounting.

thanks,

We've moved to using QuickBooks' online time tracker because of integration with their billing systems. It has some dismal features (you enter time in decimals not minutes; it times out after 20min or so and looses entries...)

I.E. adding a wordpress skin task and having a box give the amount of hours that can be spent on it. Then when doing the reports I would be able to see if time went over. I guess additionally the already mentioned task timing tracking would need to be implemented. Is there any plans on doing this. I am a new user of activeCollab 1.0, just bought it today, very excited to use it! Was using 0.7.

It helped us a lot but was never taken to the next level as I never made the time. We encouraged our staff to keep AC open and enter time as they worked (by clicking NOW). They could adjust times for accuracy and enter comments if neccessary. Every night we would get mailed a report of who worked on what and another report showing if we were over/under budget on projects - it helped us make more accurate calls on projects.

Below are some screenshots of my system - I feel the current time tracker on the new version of collab is too basic and doesn't allow staff to track a full days work and enter time for meetings/other events. Are there plans to take collab's time tracking further than it is now? Are people busy with plugins for this?

Please see my post Expenses instead of Time? in Feature Requests for details to see if you agree that this type of setup would help.
