New in Version 7.2

The following new features are available in Version 7.1 of Web TimeSheet:

• Implementation Interview
  This simple interview guides you through the implementation of Web TimeSheet. Once you have completed the interview, Web TimeSheet will provide you with a set of implementation instructions customized for your system.
• Guided Setup
  This feature gives users tips for configuring each module of Web TimeSheet, as well as the suggested order for completing configuration tasks.
• New dynamic reports
  New dynamic versions of nearly all of the original Classic reports have been added. Classic reports are, however, still available for all users who have upgraded from earlier versions of Web TimeSheet. (51614, 51657, 53361, 52768, 52994)
• Simplified dynamic report filters
  Dynamic report filters have been simplified. The filters that are available and that are enabled by default are better tailored to the report being generated. In addition, user defined fields are now available for use as filters on the reports to which they apply. (51633, 43328)
• Ability to e-mail and create PDF versions of dynamic text reports
  Users can now e-mail dynamic text reports to their external or internal address, or to other user-specified addresses. Plus, users can now create PDF versions of text reports.
• Improved timesheet interface
  Comments boxes now display around the selected time entry cell in Standard timesheets. In their maximized state, they display a field for entering comments, and any timesheet hours-level user defined fields. Plus, timesheet rows can now be sorted alphabetically and, in Standard timesheets, columns can be resized. In addition, all visible fields are now searchable and time entry cells can be navigated using the keyboards Tab key and arrows.
• Ability to upload, view, and delete expense receipt images
  Users can now upload expense receipt images into Web TimeSheet for viewing.
• Improved menu interface
  The look and feel of all menus has been improved, and the Admin menu has been reorganized.
• Improved installation process
  Microsoft SQL Server Express is now installed as Web TimeSheet's default database type. Plus, users can now elect to install new versions of Web TimeSheet using existing, blank SQL Server, MSDE, or SQL Express databases. (52273)
