New Feature: Clock In and Out

Today we are introducing our new clock in and out feature called WeWorked On-Site. Now all business types, including retail, food and beverage, and manufacturing, can easily capture time in WeWorked. WeWorked On-Site is a digital timecard, somewhat like the stamp punch clocks of the past. You simply set up a tablet or computer in one or more locations that users will use to clock in and out using a special PIN.

WeWorked On-Site can be configured to assign a default task or to allow users to select a task when they are clocking in. All backend features, such as leave tracking, can still be used for users that clock in and out.

No more keeping track of stamp cards or trying to total up hours from physical cards. WeWorked automatically stores the start and end times and calculates the hours for easy reporting. You even have the flexibility to require some or all users to clock in and out. Previously, users were entering start and end times in the daily comments. Now users can capture start and end times of tasks under the new Clock In/Out view.

WeWorked On-Site comes included with every WeWorked account. We are happy to rollout this enhancement and have plenty more under development. Please contact us with any questions, concerns, or feedback.

Choose your own start page

Today we rolled out a highly requested feature that allows you to choose where in WeWorked you are taken when you first login.  We refer to this feature as “choose your own start page”. The goal is to save you time by reducing clicks and taking you directly to what is important. If you are the finance person and mainly deal with invoices, you may find value in going straight to invoices area after login. Managers may choose to go immediately to reports. The choice is yours.  

Here are the places in WeWorked that you can go to after login, all limited by permissions:

  • Your timesheet
  • Review timesheets
  • Reports
  • Invoices

We may add more places if we find the need. Let us know if you would like to go to a screen not listed.

Changing your start page is easy. Simply edit your personal profile and choose your Default View.

Turn on/off timesheet submission emails

We recently made it possible for users to notify someone when they submit a timesheet. Even though the feature was optional, quite a few users were bombarded with unwanted emails. You now have the option to turn on or off the option for user to notify a person when they submit a timesheet. Administrators can find this feature under Settings then Notifications. Enjoy!

Introducing Budget Alerts

We have always captured high-level budget information at the project level.  But we never really did much with the data.  Well we have decided to capture additional budget information and make use of it all.  Starting today, in additional to project level budget information, you can now enter budget settings for tasks.

To make the most of this data, we are introducing Budget Alerts.  Budget Alerts send emails to people when a budget setting is exceeded or within a certain limit.  Budgets are checked daily at midnight, using your company’s timezone setting. Once triggered, an email will be sent weekly until the budget alert is removed.

There are four budget types:

  • Cost Per Task – This budget type uses the Budgeted Cost defined for each task to determine when to trigger a budget alert.
  • Hours Per Task – This budget type uses the Budgeted Hours defined for each task.
  • Total Project Cost – This budget type uses the Budgeted Cost defined in the Project Overview.
  • Total Project Hours – This budget type uses the Budgeted Hours defined in the Project Overview.

Note: You must be on trial or a paid plan to use Budget Alerts. Budget Alerts are sent at 11 p.m. EST.

Create Your First Budget Alert

Click Settings then Projects.  Click on the Project you want to have a budget.  Under the Budget Alert section, click Add Budget Alert. Complete the form then click Add Budget Alert.

Enhancement to Timesheet Timer

We made some major improvements to the daily timer.

How it worked before
Previously the timer required you to keep the timer window open. Closing the window would stop the timer. You also could only run a single timer at a time.

How it works now
Today you can start a timer or multiple timers for tasks. You can close the browser and come back later and the timer will keep running. The timer windows will no longer get in your way. You will no that a task has a timer running by the animated bouncing ball.

Give the new timer a try, and let us know what you think. Enjoy!

New Feature: Task Timer

Today we introduce a task timer to help you keep track of the time you spend on individual tasks. You can start and stop the timer whenever you like. The timer will also add recorded time to the time you previously entered. All the math is done for you automatically. This is a great feature for freelancers and government contractors that need to record time down to the minute.

To use the timer, switch to the daily view screen.

Then click the timer icon beside the task you want the timer to keep track off. You must add the task to the timesheet before you can start using the timer. The timer will start automatically.

New Features: Daily View and New Report

Now you can view a single day at a time. As you are working and adjusting your time in WeWorked you can more easily stay focused on the current day. No need to see other days of the week. But of course you can switch back and forth between views. In addition to being able to add tasks and update time from the day view, you can also enter more detailed comments. These comments will relate to a specific time entry and task.

To make it easy to spot detailed comments, a small bar will appear under the time entry that has a detailed comment.

New Feature: Custom print options for timesheets

For our customers that need to print timesheets regularly for the purpose of sharing with a client, we now give you the option of what to show them. Your clients may not need or want to see any leave information on your timesheets. And you may not want them to see your teams’ comments. Starting today, you can decide to hide comments, leave tasks, or both from a timesheet printout. It is really easy to do.

While viewing a timesheet, click Print then check which items you wish to hide from the printer-friendly version of the timesheet.

New Feature: WeWorked Account Center

Today we made it easier for you to administer your WeWorked account. No more having to log into PayPal to see what plan you signed up for. We added a central area we call the Account Center that is only accessible to administrators. In the Account Center you will find information about your plan, including the name, price, next billing date, and number of users.

Administrators will notice two new links in the upper right corner of the screen:

  • Account – takes you to the Account Center
  • Upgrades – takes you to an overview of our plan upgrades. And, yes, we now offer plans up to 500 users.

You can even change your monthly subscription to an annual subscription with a few clicks.

There is also no need to email us should you wish to cancel your account. Administrators can cancel an account from within the Account Center. Canceling is just as easy as upgrading.
