Note: The article will primarily describe improvements related to Pivotal Tracker but except for a few app-specific things, most of these features will be implemented with other integrations as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the start, our goal with Pivotal time tracking was to release the first version in line with our own vision to then get maximum user feedback and polish the functionality based on your suggestions. Luckily for us, we have the most engaged customers ever and it\u2019s been very rewarding to see all the positive reviews and what\u2019s even cooler, improvement ideas.<\/p>\n

Special kudos go to @Dave, @Joseph, @Ryan, @Mark, @Michael, @Andy, @Brian<\/em>, and @Douglas<\/em>\u00a0for such active participation in discussions. Thank you guys for the involvement!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also hard not to mention the Pivotal Tracker team who have supported us a lot. We reached out to tell them about the initial positive reaction to the integration and asked for help to get even more feedback. They actually really liked Everhour and featured it on their page for some time which was awesome.<\/p>\n

@Ronan<\/em>, really appreciate your help and response at the speed of light!<\/p>\n

\"tweaks<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanks to this exclusive opportunity, dozens of new companies have joined Everhour and now wonder how they\u2019ve managed to do without our app before. One of the greatest things about it is that we\u2019ve got real users to point out actual issues (not something we\u2019ve just assumed or hypothesized) and offer ways for enhancement.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done our best to present the main ideas in a structured and visual way. And as usual, I\u2019m sharing them with you before actual implementation relying on your fresh mind and honesty \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    Primary features<\/h2>\n

    <\/a>#1 – Showing a task status<\/h3>\n

    At the moment, Everhour does not display a current task status when generating reports by task. While some tools distinguish only 2 status options (open\/closed), Pivotal Tracker differentiates 6 of them and in fact, it\u2019d be very handy to know if a task with X hours tracked is to be completed soon or not.<\/p>\n

    In our opinion, a simple and effective solution would be to show a status label next to a task title. Besides, we\u2019re going to add a Sort by Status option to sort entries starting from pending to completed activities.<\/p>\n
