Two new front page widgets for the Project manager
The new widgets are:
- Registered absence
- Project tasks completion
Project task completion shows hours budgeted vs. hours registered per project. The difference will be the completion rate. Registered absence shows planned absence for employees allocated to the project(s) of the Project manager.

New front page widgets for Project managers
TimeLog provides accurate and relevant widgets, which gives the Project manager direct insight into the state of the projects. We have focused on areas, where project performance is threatened and insights are hard to find.
With widgets, you get quick access and an accessible overview of essential data, such as Monthly invoices, Average hourly rate, Completion of project tasks and Absence plans. When they are turned ON in Preview features, they will become visible on the front page of your TimeLog system. This feature is only for users with a Project manager role and rights, and additionally, you must have project privileges.

New automatic exchange rate handling
All new demo sites will be using a new currency handling logic. This means that their currency handling will be centralized and consistent, instead of the more cumbersome per project model. This is the first step in the roll out of a new currency handling logic for all customers.
The new currency handling functionality handles exchange rates over periods instead of doing it per project and invoice.
What is currency periods?
Exchange rates changes every period, and by default an exchange period is one month long.
Example:
DKK to SEK in August will use the rate 1,59
DKK to SEK in September will use the rate 1,61
You will hear more about the new currency handling logic, when we roll it out for all customers.
Released in: TimeLog PSA demo.
