Does anyone else use bubbles? and has it stopped working in the past week? [updated]

2012-01-31T09:07:45-08:00

I have used bubbles to connect to slimtimer for the past couple years, however, since sometime last week, it has stopped working. I have tried to go to bubbleshq to investigate, but google says the website could harm your computer and when I went to it manually my computer was seriously infected with malware. I have searched for anyone else experiencing this issue and have not found anything. Is everyone else still able to access bubbleshq? (if you haven't tried, don't go to the url with a windows operating system you care about just in case)

Add Tags to all Entries in a Report [updated]

2012-01-31T09:06:09-08:00

I would like to be able to add a "Billed" tag to entries when I generate an invoice. This way I can run a report excluding all "Billed" entries to make sure I don't double bill someone. I can think of other uses too but the example above solves two problems.

I have encountered the same problem with bubbles since 2 weeks ago. I had to stop using bubbles and just use the browser directly for slim timer. Went to the website which seems down except the front page. Scanning my computer right now to see if my comp got infected.

Good afternoon! Today I was working with my slimtimer session like daily. Then i closed session and the url showed "http://slimtimer.com/?check_cookie=false". My curiosity said me : "delete of the url ?chek_cookie=flase" and when i press enter key my session was opened again... Again, I closed session and return my curiosity... Whenever I delete this part of the url (?chek_cookie=flase) it happens that after the session itself starts. Greeting!

I'd like to be able to see all of my entries for a particular project in a list instead of by the day w/o running a report. I label my project/client as the "task" and the input my activity in the "comment" section.

make a calendar view [updated]

2012-01-12T06:42:16-08:00

so we can add or edit certain points without having to click the previous or next button to go to the right date.

Koos de Heer said:

Yes, this would be great. A calendar view would also make gaps visible and make editing of timed entries a lot easier. The timed entries would look exactly like appointments in my calendar where I could move the begin and end points to adjust the entries.

android app would be great - just to start and stop the timer. wouldn't need to do reports.

Provide optional "Is this task still active?" pop-ups [updated]

2012-01-04T06:59:59-08:00

Provide optional pop-ups, with user-selectable time intervals (e.g. 15 min, 30 min, 1 hours, etc.), that will open a window basically saying "Hey, are you still doing this task?" I run SlimTimer in a small separate window via the "Bubbles" thing. That window is usually covered by my browser, and I often forget to stop a task when I'm done. I think my suggestion would provide a solution to this problem.

Anonymous said:

Bubbles seems to have disappeared. Having this feature built into SlimTimer is now more important.

Add notes to a task [updated]

2011-12-15T13:02:02-08:00

Allow for additional notes to be added to a task, that don't display automatically (to see it click on the task, a profile setting, etc.)

Anonymous said:

Agreed! From the "Active Task" page, I would find it much more helpful if we were able to see comments added to running task. Perhaps a "+" listed on the same line as the task that would expand to view notes as needed.

Make it possible to pause a task [updated]

2011-11-21T13:22:50-08:00

Sometimes when I'm in then middle of a task I get a phone call which I time as well. After this phone call I would like to be able to pick one of the previous tasks and continue that one without having to enter the tag and the comment again.

Zachary Kent said:

My wife is an attorney in they are required by the state bar to bill in 1/10s of an hour (6 minute increments). So she has a system of what most things "cost" the client. 2/10th is a typical phone call, 1/10th if she gets answering machine and leaves a message, etc. I thought you were referring to something similar.

zachary k, no, i'm in the technology sector, have had two brothers at the bar, and did some work _years_ ago on office automation for a boston law firm. in the past, i made my own "tc" (as in Time Clock) command as a unix shell. it was as simple at slimtimer, but not nearly so effective, since s.t. has tags and oodles of reports. suitable use of tag names and you can generate just about any slice and dice report you want.

explain the 2/10 = call, 1/10 = leave a message, sounds intriguing. -- really.

Make the Start and End Time boxes a little wider [updated]

2011-11-21T07:41:20-08:00

I don't use the timer, I just enter all my times. It would be nice to see if it/you set it to AM or PM before you hit create.

Aaron said:

That's a good idea. I never thought about entering military time. I'm just not that good at telling military time. It will be good practice.

Zachary Kent said:

When I type "1" and tab it changes to "1:00:00 am". It seems to assume military time, so if you enter 1 through 11, you get a.m. automatically. If you enter "13" you get "1:00:00 pm". I just type "1p" and ST changes it to "1:00:00 pm".

This what I see in all browsers on a PC. Seems like you are seeing something different.

Aaron said:

I should have made this more clear. It's more about the visual that I am talking about. When you enter "1" and tab to the next box you cant tell if it is am or pm without clicking back into it. Instead of seeing [01:00], being able to see [01:00p].

Intelligent autocomplete [updated]

2011-11-18T12:30:30-08:00

This was a time when I recall the ability in Edit Entries where one could type *any* portion of a task and SlimTimer would intelligently search. This is to say if my Task was called "Project Chocolate-55" I could simply type in "chocolate" and the entry would be returned in search along with other potential matches. Maybe I missed something but now I have to start type the exact name (left to right) in order for my tasks to appear. Is this a new feature request, a bug fix or a feature which once existed and now does not? Love the product otherwise and have turned my entire dept on to it!

Zachary Kent said:

Also along these lines, if you have a task called "This" and one called "This and That", as soon as you finish typing "This", plain old "This" is no longer an option and leaves only the latter as a choice. I would call this a bug.

Zachary Kent said:

When you enter the times, you can be very flexible. Try entering 115p or 1104a and ST gets it. You can even put 812a for start time and :30 for duration and ST fills in the end time for you. I use this feature a lot.

applemcg said:

rather than "pause" a task, how about a "push-pop" model. e.g. after the phone call, check the appropriate box for the interrupting task, and enter the number of units, where user has set a preference for seconds, min/10, minutes, ... it takes the activity off the critical path. e.g. i don't want to pause a task while answering the phone.

Display daily totals in timer window

2011-10-27T15:08:59-07:00

iLan suggested:
I would love to be able to see the timer window reflect an at-a-glance day view. I would like to see a daily total for each task as well as a cumulative daily total for all tasks with time tracked that day. For instance: <header> Daily total 2.3.00 active task info XX.yy </header> <body> task 1 23.00 task 2 1.22.00 task 3 42.00 </body> This would be a great way to have a nice daily overview of what you've spent time on for the day. This is also really helpful to see how close you are to 8 hours for the day.

Timesheets with multiple employees [updated]

2011-10-19T12:31:13-07:00

I'd like to run timesheets with multiple staff members with designation of whose hours are whose. Now, we need to run timesheets separately.

Marj said:

This could be color coded or initialed or by adding a column with names. Seems pretty simple, hope I'm right!

add time correctly [updated]

2011-10-16T05:12:44-07:00

When I run reports for the week the task totals for some tasks are incorrect. I don't know how long this has been going on for but I've probably been under-charging my clients. Great! I guess I need to manually add up everything to make sure the numbers are correct.

luciana said:

(sorry, I don't speak english) I had a similar issue when one member of the group add an entry and it seemed associated also with an other user in the report. The report type was 'pivot'.The solution was to erase it and add it again.

I have several shared tasks from former cooworkes. Some og them don't use Slimtimer anymore, and some just don't care about Completing tasks. This means, I have a lot of Completed tasks in my list that I can't get rid of, cause I am not the owner. How can I Complete, delete or just hide those tasks? If no possible way to do it, then make one. :)

Native Andriod app? [updated]

2011-09-29T23:22:20-07:00

The itunes store has many time tracking apps but the android market has none AFAIK. SlimTimer is one of the best timers I have found and I have looked at many. You could be a serious contender if you were the first on the Android market.

2011-09-28T12:11:43-07:00

I would like to be able to specify an (optional) estimate to a task so that I can compare it with my actual effort. A report should show the difference (actual - estimate) for those tasks that have estimates.

Anonymous said:

i agree - if not "estimate" then "goals" - the time you're hoping to spend on something to be able to compare to actual time spent.

Show subtotals for each day (or group by day) in report [updated]

2011-09-27T10:39:10-07:00

The Invoice report currently groups by DESCRIPTION (doesn't even show the date at all!), but some clients would prefer an invoice grouped by DAY, showing for each day: total hours worked + a list of all the the things done on that day (the comments for each entry falling on that day, and perhaps the tags).

sidewalkdiva said:

every month, at the end of the month, for ALL of my clients, I go through painstakingly & add multiple entries on a single day -- so that the comments get carried over... --- so for sept 1, in task "X", I had comments "yyyyy" from 8-9 & comments "zzzz" from 10-11, & comments "aaabbbb" from 13-14. I make one 'row' that has 3 hours, & "yyyyy, zzzzz, aaabbbb" (meanwhile I did stuff on another task for another client in the hours in between...) -- I'd LOVE it if you all would do the cut & paste for me... it would save me much time -- OR if you have suggestions about how I might use the timer differently so that this becomes more workable?? I know there must be a way!!

I do a lot of work away from my computer, and having a mobile app that would allow me to track my hours while out of the office would be great. I imagine that this app would have offline suport as well as online support and that the mobile hours would sync with the hours logged at a computer. Also, GPS functionality could be added.
