Reported Time and More"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Everhour releases a significant update to Schedule, where you can schedule time by a task, client, and comment, plan time off in a better way, see the reported time against the planned, set up robust permissions to how the team can use schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan Time on More Than a Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular feature requests for the update to schedule was to let planning for tasks. Here you are! There are 4 items to plan for now: Project or Task, Client, and Time Off which we forked as a separate type of assignment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You still need to fill in the period and total hours or hours per day field. It’s not now mandatory to select a member to let you create an assignment and add people to it later. And now you can comment on your assignment too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a checkbox to turn on scheduling on weekends, which may become a tremendous perk for all freelancers, employees with flexible working hours, or working from areas where Saturday and Sunday are not considered as weekends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking about Time Off as a new category, we’ve added two new options that bring more accuracy about the absence of your employees: what type of absence it is (Paid\/Unpaid and Sick), and whether it is full or half of a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New, Easier Way to Group, Filter, and Add Items in Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have added a grouping by Clients’s view. This is a nice addition in order to evaluate the scope of work when you use this piece of our functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add a client, as well as other projects and members on this page by heading to the very right of your page and clicking on the gear icon. Yeah, no more extra clicks to do that only from the Applications page!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We moved all filters to the right side too and depicted them with a well-known tunnel icon. The button to create an assignment is now just a green plus sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in Displaying Assignments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The assignment blocks become rich in colors to let you better understand what period you make them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
