Intertec TimePro NEWS ARCHIVE Welcome to the News section of the Intertec TimePro website. Here you can find out about features and plans for future Intertec TimePro releases as we continually strive to enhance and improve Intertec Intertec TimePro by adding functionality that is applicable to our broad customer base.

Intertec TimePro Version v4.6 Released

Intertec TimePro v4.6 is now available for all new clients and prospects. This upgrade includes new features, such as the Compact Interface (for PDA or mobile devices), Staff Manager Authorisation and Advanced MYOB Integration.

PDA/HANDHELD INTEGRATION

To facilitate the trend toward a more mobile workforce with staff remotely accessing corporate systems, we are developing a new portal on our web site that users will be able to access using PDA/handheld devices such as Pocket PCs, Blackberrys and Palm Pilots.

Standard features will include:

• Secure login
• Weekly Timesheet View
• Daily Timesheet View
• Timesheet Entry/Update
• Timesheet Validation
• Start/Stop Time Recording
• Calendar Control
• Support for most PDA/Handheld devices running industry standard web browsers

For more information or to register for access to our beta program please email info@timesheets.com.au

ADVANCED MYOB SETUP

Customers wanting to integrate with their MYOB Accounting System now have improved facilities to help with the initial up-take of data in the Intertec TimePro set up and configuration process.

The MYOB Import Facility in Intertec TimePro currently allows you to import lists of values from MYOB. The lists significant to Intertec TimePro are Activities, Customers and Suppliers. The values in the list you supply from MYOB are inserted or appended to the existing list held by Intertec TimePro.

Intertec TimePro's MYOB Import Facility has been enhanced to make it easier and quicker to populate MYOB related tables in Intertec TimePro without having to manually re-enter the data when you set up Intertec TimePro Customer, Supplier and Activity records. This feature is most likely to be used when setting up the MYOB Integration Module for the first time.

Once the initial data has been imported, records are viewed and maintained using maintenance screens in Intertec TimePro. Any further changes made to MYOB data can be imported again or maintained on a record-by-record basis in Intertec TimePro.

LINE MANAGER

Intertec TimePro is being enhanced so Staff can be assigned a Line Manager who will be responsible to approve/reject a Staff timesheet. The assignment will be enabled as a modification to the existing General Configuration setting Use Authorisation which will allow the system to be setup for either Project Authorisation, Staff Authorisation or No Authorisation.

Assuming Staff Authorisation had been enabled, then when a staff member submits a timesheet the Line Manager receives an email advising them that authorization is required, with a link to the Staff timesheet. Clicking on the link will load a Web browser page with the information to be authorized. The Line Manager may choose to accept a timesheet, or may reject a timesheet.

If a Line Manager chooses to reject a timesheet, he can supply explanatory notes - these will be forwarded to the staff member who will have their timesheet automatically unlocked in order to make any corrections that may be required.
