Tip: Invoicing companies with multiple addresses
When a business uses multiple billing addresses for various departments, for example, you can easily add the address of the department's contact person in Customers and Contacts or TimeLog CRM.
When billing the customer, select the relevant department’s contact person as the addressee. Choose “use contact person’s address” as the billing address, and the billing address will supply the contact person’s department address as the address on the invoice.
By maintaining billing addresses by contact person, it will be much easier to manage billing for multiple business departments.

Every 5th TimeLog user registers time via TimeLog's iPhone app
A year ago, we launched our iPhone app for time registration, as an extension of our TimeLog Tracker. We’re happy to see that our users have incorporated it into their daily routine, and we’ll start working on an Android app, so that more users can register time on the go.
60 new customers in the first 5 months
During the first five months of 2011, TimeLog experienced a significant increase in interest from companies looking to professionalize their time registration and project management. There were all sizes of businesses - from one-person businesses, to companies with hundreds of employees.
Improvements to TimeLog CRM
In connection with the release of TimeLog Project 5.4, improvements have also been made to TimeLog CRM. There are improvements both to the standard customer database, “customers and contacts”, and the TimeLog CRM module.

The next major version of TimeLog Project is on the way. This release contains a radical restructuring of the whole approach to working with projects.
News and improvements in TimeLog Project 5.4
While we’re very much looking forward to everyone enjoying and benefitting from TimeLog Project 5.4, the update will take a steady pace over the next few months.
There are big changes in store, and we want to make sure that the entire process is a good experience, and that we are able to support all of our customers.
Be prepared with an updated TimeLog Tracker for iPhone
As part of the preparations for TimeLog Project 5.4, there’s a new version of the TimeLog Tracker for iPhone. To the user, it looks just the same as before, but it now also supports projects with phases in up to five levels, which will be one of the innovations in the upcoming version of TimeLog Project.
If you already have an iPhone 4, then TimeLog Tracker for iPhone is not exactly as it used to be. The graphics have been changed, so that it supports the super-sharp resolution of the Retina display.
Apple has approved the new version of TimeLog Tracker, which can already be downloaded via iTunes, or directly from your iPhone. You should update TimeLog Tracker for iPhone as soon as possible, and before TimeLog Project is updated to version 5.4.
TimeLog Tracker for iPhone is created in cooperation with Greener Pastures.

TimeLog Supports the 2011 National Collection
TimeLog had a great year in 2010, and we thought others should benefit from our success.
TimeLog supported the Danish National Collection for Africa with a contribution of 15,000 DKK. The National Collection serves a cooperation of humanitarian organizations, which work towards the common goal of empowering Africa’s youth with better educational opportunities. At TimeLog, we value education and cooperation highly, and supporting this project was a natural choice for us.
Further information about the collection is available here (in Danish).

Tip: Updating Hourly Rates
Many companies use the new year to update their hourly rates. TimeLog works with two types of rates:
The Standard Hourly Rate is used when invoicing employees’ time registrations, and is reported in the employee’s main information in the System Administration.
Employee Cost Rates indicate the cost that each employee incurs per project, for every hour registered.
