Introducing Time Tracking and Reporting!

We are glad to announce the important additions to HiTask: Time tracking and Report generation.

Time Tracking

With Time tracking you can record time spent on particular day on particular task. The time recorded may be for you or any of your team members.

You can use time logging data for client billing, budgeting or resource activity reporting.

To track time for particular task, you need first to enable time tracking when modifying or creating the item. Simply enable the time tracking checkbox located below start and end date and reminder settings.

To log time spent expand the task and click on Log Time:

You can enter time in various formats. Entering any number means how many hours you have spent. You may use decimal numbers like 0.5 ( means half hour, 30 minutes). You can also write "hour" "minutes" "h" "m", e.g. "1 hour 30 minutes", "1h 30m".

Once you have logged some hours you can see the time log by clicking on "Details..." link in expanded task.

Reports

We have added possibility to generate progress and time reports. There is a new menu on top called "Reports":

In this menu you can access global reports for time and progress.

There is also reporting for particular projects. Expand the project and click "Reports" to generate project-specific report.

Time report for particular task is available by clicking on task and opening Time Log.

And more new stuff

We have added some more cool things:

• Delete confirmation. To prevent accidental deletion.
• Better drag-n-drop. You can drag or reorder items by grabbing them anywhere!
• Animated effects when items completed, deleted, archived. (This functionality will not work in Internet Explorer due to performance reasons).
• Much improved adding of contacts to your team.
