Whether you’re using time tracking to analyse the performance of your team or department, or to produce accurate invoicing for your clients, bcToolkit fits the bill. One of the reports we’ll look at now is the “Time Recorded” report. This report gives you instant access to four layers of information regarding time entered against project or to-do items.
The first layer is a total time recorded by each team member that can be viewed in either weekly or daily increments.
As a high level report, this provides a quick and easy way to see how much time your team members are logging against jobs. This is useful from a performance point of view but won’t help much in billing clients or really seeing where time is being spent across your business and how efficiently you are utilising the time you have. This is where bcToolkit really comes into its own.
By double clicking on any time entry, you will be presented with breakdown box for that time period. The handy user interface displays the names of all the projects that team member has worked on that day or week and the amount of time spent against each.
This view is probably the most useful when producing accurate invoicing for your clients as you can instantly see how much time has been spent. This coupled with the Time By Client and Time By Project reports forms a very useful solution for project and office managers and allows you to see not just raw data but useful information.
For those of you needing even more specific data, you can drill down from the project-level data into To-Do list level data, to give you accurate information on which area of a project or job that individual has been spending time on.
Finally, you can even drill down to the actual to-do item the time has been entered against, giving you complete clarity on all tasks and time entries. This easy-to-use interface provides quick and easy access to whichever level of data suits the needs of your business.
