Advanced Report Permissions

You now have more control over reports and who can access reports. Now you can grant users and groups access to individual reports. You can also control the data that individual users see when viewing reports. Let’s take a deeper look at these new features.

How did it work?
Previously administrators could control only whether or not groups and users could access reports. If you granted them access then the users and groups would have access to all reports and all data.

What changed?
Now you can control which reports users and groups can access. Every company has access to at least two reports. Some have access to more because we created custom reports for them. None of your permissions have changed. If you granted a user or group access to reports, they still have access to the same reports.

We added another layer of permissions to each user profile that controls the data a user can view when running a report. Under the Permissions section of each user’s profile, an administrator can decide to grant a user full rights to all report data or to limit a user’s rights to only the people whose timesheet the user can approve. Users with limited report access will have a tiny lock icon beside their name in the report permission area. If a user does not approve time, they are only allowed to create reports containing their own data.

limit-report

Things you can do – the possibilities.

  • Allow users access to run individual reports.
  • Allow users to run reports on their own data.
  • Allow managers to run reports on their team/group.
  • Allow Human Resources people to run reports without being an administrator.

Copy Timesheets

WeWorked is all about capturing time and saving you time. Most people do not like to complete a timesheet, so we are adding improvements that make timesheets easier to use. Today we are introducing the Copy Timesheet feature that allows you to, with the click of a button, copy tasks or tasks and hours from a timesheet to the upcoming week. This is great for teams that work on a lot of projects and tasks. Now you do not have to add all of those tasks each week. We are really excited about this enhancement and hope you enjoy it.

Copying a timesheet is simple. The only requirement is that you have not entered time for the upcoming week. View a timesheet and click Copy.

Reintroducing Email Reminders

For the first time we are actually bringing back a feature. We had email reminders – automatic emails that remind users to enter time – when we first launched. However, we did a rush job and it was truly only half complete. For example, all reminders were sent at 3 p.m. eastern time. We turned email reminders off temporarily while we improved it.

Now email reminders can be set by your account administrator. Administrators can select the day and the hour the emails will go out. And of course the time will take into account your timezone setting and whether or not you entered time that day. Users will not receive the reminder if they entered time that day. Users will also have the ability to opt out of receiving the email. The last thing we want is to spam our users.

Email reminders are off by default, so an administrator will have to enable the feature. To make notification changes, click Settings then click Notifications.

Don’t forget to enter your time.

Copying Projects

It just got easier to create projects. Starting today you can create a project from an existing project with the new copy project feature. The copy project feature allows you to copy project data to either a new project or an existing. Copying to a new project will copy the name (prefixed with “Copy:”) along with basic project information. You have the option of copying over the people assigned as well as the tasks. It is entirely up to you.  Only copy what you need. When copying to an existing project, you have the option of copying the people, tasks, or both.

Administrators will find the Copy link above a project’s overview section. Click Settings then Projects. Then click the name of the project you wish to copy. The copy button will be at the top.

copy project feature

  • Only administrators can copy projects.
  • Copies can be made to a new project or an existing project.
  • Administrators can decide what they specifically want to copy (ex. people and tasks).

If you create a lot of projects, expect this to save you a great deal of time. Happy copying and be sure to show us you like this enhancement by clicking one of the social sharing buttons below.

New Timesheet and Invoice Filters

Tracking time is great, but equally as important is the ability to retrieve timesheet data in an easy and meaningful way. Starting today, you can generate reports using three new filters – Time Status, Task Status, and Show Zeros.

report invoice filters

  1. Time Status allows you to return approved, not approved, or all time.
  2. Task Status allows you to return billable, non-billable, or all time.
  3. Show Zeros allows you to return rows that include or exclude rows that have zero hours.

All of three filters can be used to generate reports as well as invoices. I am sure you can figure out some creative ways to leverage these new filters in your organization.
