Version Compatibility
Click the links below
for information on what versions of the following
applications are compatible with releases of Web

January

New Features
Local Time Zone Support
You can now choose which time zone is used to display
time in Web TimeSheet. Or, if your organization spans
multiple time zones, you can now choose to assign user-specific
time zones that apply to most displayed times. You can
enable these new time zone options in Web TimeSheet on
the System Preferences
page.
Previously, for most fields and functions for which
time zone is relevant, Web TimeSheet used the time zone
of the server where your instance is installed (typically,
for SaaS users, Mountain Standard Time or Greenwich Mean
Time). If you don't change your time zone options in system
preferences, your Web TimeSheet instance will continue
to use server time as before.
For more information on enabling a local company time
zone or user-specific time zones, and for information
on which features time zones apply to, refer to Setting Time Zone Options
in Web TimeSheet's online help.

New Features
Timesheet Period Filter in Reports
A new Timesheet Period
filter is now available in select Timesheet, Administration,
Billing, and Time Off reports. This filter allows you
to view data for users' current timesheet period, or their
last timesheet period.
If you are viewing data for multiple users who have
different timesheet periods, this filter differs from
the Current Timesheet
Period and Last
Timesheet Period options already available in the
Date Range filter,
as follows:
- In the existing Date Range filter,
if you select the Current
Timesheet Period option, data from the start
date of the earliest timesheet period until the end
date of the latest timesheet period will display for
all users. For example, if today is January 16, and
you're reporting on User A whose timesheet period
is January 13 to 19, and User B, whose timesheet period
is January 15 to 21, you will see all
data for User A and B from January 13 to 21.
- In this new filter,
only data from each user's actual current timesheet
period will display in the report. So for the example
above, you will see only January 13 to 19 data for
User A and January 15 to 21 data for User B.
This new filter is available (disabled by default) in
the following report templates, and in reports based on
them:
- Banked
Time Details
- Pay Code
Hours Details
- Payroll
Details
- Timesheet
Audit Trail
- Timesheet

period in question, and compare hours saved using
a timecard to hours entered in your timesheet. |

In the Time Off Type
filter on the My
Time Off Bookings page, only time off types
assigned to the user will now display. This prevents
potentially sensitive information about users'

from this filter, all bookings matching the user's
assigned and previously assigned time off types
will display. |
Issues Fixed

DE3835 |
The number
of remaining hours in the Time
Off Balance report do not always match
the remaining hours given on the Time
Off Booking page. Fixed so that the Time Off Balance
report now uses the user's Hours
Per Day value at the selected as of date,
rather than the value at the last change to the
time off balance. |

An error may
occur if you log in to Web TimeSheet and then

New Features
Stopwatch in Standard 2.0 (Smart Interface) Timesheets
The Stopwatch feature is now available in Standard 2.0
timesheets. Users can use the stopwatch to accurately
record their work or task start and end times; Web TimeSheet
will use these values to automatically calculate their
duration worked.
You can enable the stopwatch for users by assigning
them Timesheet > Use
the Stopwatch permission. Once this permission
is assigned, a stopwatch link will be available in their
current day's timesheet cells, within the Comment
bubble.
For information on using the Standard 2.0 stopwatch,
refer to Using a
Standard Timesheet in Web TimeSheet's online help.
Issues Fixed

departments if your company department hierarchy
is deep and/or your department names are long.

In the User Hours Details
report, if there are multiple time entries for
a single day that includes banked hours, the sum
displayed in the Regular
Hrs column may be incorrect. |

New Features
Supervisor-Level Access to Historical Timesheets
In previous releases, assigning a user Historical
Timesheet permissons (such as the ability to edit
or delete timesheets) allowed them to modify all timesheets
in the system. Now, a new For
Supervisees Historical
Timesheets permission is available that allows
users to modify their supervisees’ timesheets only. A
user’s supervisees are those for whom the user is assigned
Supervisor.
You might assign a supervisor this permission if, for
example, the supervisor sometimes needs to modify their
supervisees' Locked In-Out timesheets, and these changes
need to be made prior to submission to meet payroll schedules.
Note that supervisors can already be given permission
to edit their supervisees’ submitted timesheets, providing
they act as their supervisees’ timesheet approver.
Any user in your system who is currently assigned Historical Timesheets
permissions will retain their current level of access
(i.e. they will continue to be able to make changes to
all timesheets).
Ability to map Expense User Defined Fields to Vendors
in the QuickBooks Integration Manager
Rather than transferring expense entries by expense
sheet to vendor bills in QuickBooks, you can now create
an Expense user defined field in Web TimeSheet that defines
vendor names, and transfer expenses to a separate vendor
bill for each of those vendors.
Vendors must be pre-defined in QuickBooks for this transfer
to work; you cannot directly transfer vendors mapped from
expense user defined fields via the Integration Manager.
Access to Offline Timesheets via Standard 2.0 Timesheets
You can now access Offline timesheets from your Smart
Interface (Standard 2.0) timesheet. Offline timesheet
works as it did with the “Classic” timesheet, except that
they are now accessed by selecting the Offline
Timesheet link in the Standard 2.0 timesheet’s
side menu, and then clicking the Send
Offline Timesheet link in the window that displays.
Improvements
DE1255 |
In the Project Time Analysis
report and reports based on it, approval status
and date filter selections are no longer considered
in calculations of project and task remaining
hours. This is the existing behavior in the Project Status

remaining hours calculations are now consistent
across reports. |

If you approve
only certain tasks for a user, but can also view
tasks you do not approve, the tasks you approve
are now highlighted in timesheets awaiting your
approval. |

New Features
Project User Defined Fields (Project
& Billing only)
Web TimeSheet now offers 20 Project-level user defined
fields, in addition to the existing 20 Project/Task user
defined fields. Use the new Project fields if the custom
data you wish to collect applies to the entire project,
and should not
be available for each sub-task of the project. This new
type of custom field is especially useful if you want
to require that a field be completed, but you don’t want
project leaders to have to enter data in the field for
each sub-task.
These new fields are added on the Project
tab of the User Defined
Fields page, while your existing Project/Task
user defined fields are now located on the renamed Task tab. Once you've
created a Project user defined field, it will be available
in the Project Information
section of each project's main page, and if it is a required
field, it will also be available on the Add
Project page when you create new projects.
Task user defined fields are still available for the
top-level (project-level) task in projects.
Improvements
US351 |
If someone
else modifies and saves a timesheet while you
are making modifications to that timesheet, when
you attempt to save your updates, a message will
now inform you of the conflict, and will load
the other user’s changes for you to work from.
Previously, changes saved elsewhere would not
update on your timesheet until you reloaded the
timesheet, so you could overwrite other updates
without ever seeing them. |

New Features
Usability Improvements in the Smart Interface Timesheet
Various changes have been made to the Standard 2.0 (Smart
Interface), to improve its appearance and usability. Improvements
include:

New Features
Improved Performance for RepliConnect Queries
The performance of certain query actions performed in
the RepliConnect API has been improved significantly.
This improvement primarily affects queries that involve
the upload of ‘additional’ data, such as querying users
along with some user settings.
Ability to block display of select user profile fields
in reports
A new permission is available that lets you to prevent
certain potentially sensitive user profile fields from
displaying in reports. Users who are assigned the new
Show users’ HR data
permission will not be able to view the following fields
and filters in any reports:
| Fields |
Filters |
- User Start Date
- User End Date
- Employee Id
- Employee Type
- Employee Type
Description
- User-type user
defined fields
|
- User-type user
defined fields
- Holiday Calendar
- The Employee
Type sub-filter of the User filter
|
This new permission is enabled (i.e. access to these
fields is allowed) by default in all permission profiles
that have Reporting functions
enabled, so your system’s behaviour will not change unless
you choose to disable the new permission.
Auto Selection of Users in new Department Filter
A new Department -
Auto Select filter is now available in the User Profile report
template and in reports
based on it. In the new filter, when you select a
department, all of its sub-departments are automatically
selected. Similarly, if you deselect a department, its
sub-departments are deselected. You can enable this filter
on the Filters
tab, which you can access by clicking the Settings
button in the report.

with the first level’s permissions. For example,
for a Project
Leader -> Supervisor
approver path, if the same user acts as both a
project leader for some projects and a supervisor,
then that supervisor will only be able to
edit time entries for their projects. Fixed so
all entries that the user is allowed to approve

New Features
User-Level Security in the RepliConnect API
The RepliConnect API is now enabled by default for all
customers, with a new “User” level of security. Unlike
the “Full” security mode offered in previous versions
of RepliConnect, user-level security checks user permissions.
Therefore, this new mode allows you to offer general access
to applications that use the API – such as Replicon’s
upcoming mobile application – while protecting your system’s
security.
As part of the change to user-level security, a new
User security
context is now required when accessing RepliConnect. This
context limits API access to typical user actions only,
such as completing timesheets, expense sheets and time
off bookings. However, legacy applications developed prior
to version 8.25.7 should still operate without the header
that defines this context, providing the new Can view ALL system data
API permission is enabled (this permission is enabled
by default for existing API users).
Refer to the RepliConnect
documentation for more information on user-level security
and on using the API.

Previously,
holiday hours worked were included by default
when calculating Weekly overtime for a Best-Of
Overtime rule. Now, you can choose to exclude
holiday hours by clearing the new Include

will be enabled by default for any customers with
existing Best-Of rules that include Weekly conditions,
meaning the current behaviour of the rule should
not change. |

New Features
Ability to Sum Custom Columns that are Percentages
A new Custom Formula
summary option is now available in reports. Unlike the
Sum option which
sums each value in a custom column after
its formula is applied, this new option sums values for
each column used in the formula before
applying the custom formula. You can use this option to
find the sum of percentages or other fractions.
For example, imagine you create a custom column to calculate
% Billable with
the formula (Billable
Hrs / Total Hrs), and for one project 20 out of
40 hours are billable (50%), while for a second project
10 out of 50 hours are billable (20%). If you select Sum for this custom
column, Web TimeSheet will sum the calculated percentage
for each project, giving a value of 70%. However, if you
select Custom Formula,
Web TimeSheet will sum the billable hours (30) and the
totals hours (90) before applying the custom formula,
arriving at 33.3%.

New Features
Smart Interface
Standard Timesheet and new Look and Feel
Smart Interface, also knows as Standard 2.0, is a new
and improved version of Web TimeSheet's Standard timesheet
format that offers four key advantages over the "classic"
Standard timesheet:
- Improved performance
- A newly-designed task
selector (Project
& Billing only)
- More consistent
and less intrusive error handling
- Enhanced Copy From
functionality
The Smart Interface changes include an upgrade to the
entire Web TimeSheet interface. This change is cosmetic
only, and does not affect how Web TimeSheet functions.
However, as a result of the change, customizable themes
are no longer an option.
Smart Interface will not be enabled automatically for
existing users; administrators can choose whether or not
they want to use it. Administrators can also test this
new format first before enabling it for their organization.
For more information on the new timesheet format, refer
to the Smart
Interface FAQs.
Smart
Interface does not support Internet Explorer 6.0
and certain other features
If you use Internet Explorer, you must use version
7.0 or higher with the Smart Interface format.
Also, the following features are not yet available
for Smart Interface:
- Stopwatch
- Schedule Discrepancies
in Web Schedule
- Timecard comparison
in Web TimeSheet Time & Attendance
If you need access to these features, you should
continue using the "classic" Standard
timesheet format for the time being. |

In previous
releases, Web TimeSheet would automatically subtract

off bookings that overlapped with that holiday.
Now, the holiday duration will only be subtracted
from Full Day
Off bookings or if the holiday falls in
the middle (i.e. not on the first or last day)
of a booking that spans multiple days. If the
user books off any other duration of time on a

Auto-populate Holidays without Time Off Booking permission (Time
& Attendance only)
In past versions of Web TimeSheet, if auto-population
of holidays was enabled, holiday hours were only automatically
added to a user's timesheet if they had permission to
create time off bookings. Now, holiday hours will auto-populate
for users without the ability to book time off.
As previously, to set up auto-population, enable the
Populate holiday time
on the timesheet option on the List
Time Off Types page and select a time off type
that doesn't require booking from the Time
Off Type for Holidays is field. Then, check that
users whose hours should auto-populate are assigned that
time off type and Enter
Time Off in Timesheet permission. Once auto-population
is set up, when a user first accesses a new timesheet,
the system will automatically add their hours per day
value to any holidays that fall within that timesheet
period. The holidays added are those specified in the
user's assigned holiday calendar.
Refer to Defining
Holidays in Web TimeSheet's online help for more information
on auto-populating holiday hours on timesheets.
Project/Task Billing Status Filter in Reports (Project
& Billing only)
You can now filter projects and tasks by their billing
status in all reports that include a project or task Billing
Status column. You can user this filter to display only
projects/tasks with billable time, with non-billable time,
or with both.
Support for Firefox 5
Web TimeSheet now supports use with the Firefox 5.0
browser.

New Features
Best-Of Overtime Rule
(Time & Attendance only)
A new Best-Of Overtime
Rule template is now available that allows you
to pay employees overtime for excess hours worked each
day (or on a given day of the week), each week, on a seventh
consecutive day of work, or on a holiday; you can create
as many conditions as you need for each category. Using
this template, each hour of overtime qualifies for only
one overtime condition –
the one the yields the most pay.
This rule is effectively a hybrid of the California
Overtime and Daily
Overtime templates, and is useful if your organization
pays overtime for both weekly overtime and for time worked
on holidays. Refer to Setting
Up Overtime Rules in Web TimeSheet's online help for
an example of how the rule works.

2011 (Version 8.24) |
New Features
Support for 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003,
2008, and 2008 R2
(Self-hosted only)
In 64-bit systems, Web TimeSheet requires that IIS be
run in 32-bit compatibility mode. The Web TimeSheet installer
will automatically set IIS to 32-bit compatibility mode
during installation, if it is required.
In
IIS 6.0, 32-bit compatibility is a system-wide
setting, and may affect other applications installed
on your server
If you encounter problems with other applications
due to this automatically changed setting and
need to uninstall, Web TimeSheet will not automatically
disable 32-bit compatibility. Refer to Disabling
32-Bit Compatibility in IIS 6.0 when Uninstalling
Web TimeSheet in the Web
TimeSheet Installation Guide for instructions
on how to revert this setting manually.
In IIS 7.0 this setting applies to Web TimeSheet’s
application pool only. |
Changes to System Requirements (Self-hosted
only)
As of version 8.24,
the following changes have been made to Web TimeSheet’s
system requirements:
For Oracle users, Oracle Client 11g Release 2 is now
required, at minimum
The internal web server is no longer supported; IIS
6.0, 7.0 or 7.5 is now required
If
you currently use IIS and are upgrading on a new
server, your Web TimeSheet URL will change upon
upgrade to version 8.24
In most cases, your Web TimeSheet URL will remain
unchanged after upgrading to version 8.24. However,
if you are upgrading an IIS version of Web TimeSheet
on a new machine, your existing URL cannot be
automatically retained due to changes to how IIS
is configured. If this issue applies to you, contact
Replicon
Support and they will help you retain your
existing URL. |
Both .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 are now required
.NET
Framework 3.5 is not automatically installed on
Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2
Whenever possible, the Web TimeSheet installer
will automatically install required versions of
.NET Framework during installation. However, .NET
Framework 3.5 cannot be automatically installed
in Server 2008 and 2008 R2 since it is included
as a Windows component in those versions. Therefore,
you must install this component before you can
upgrade to Web TimeSheet version 8.22 or higher.
For information on how to install the component,
refer to Installing
or Upgrading Web TimeSheet in the Web
TimeSheet Installation Guide. |

New Features
"Archived" Status for Projects (Project & Billing only)
It is now possible to assign “archived” status to Web
TimeSheet projects. If a project is archived, it will
not display in most reports and, like closed projects,
will not be available for addition to existing timesheets
or expense sheets.
When a project is archived, it is not deleted from your
system or altered in any way, and all existing entries
users have made against that project will remain unchanged
on all saved, submitted, and approved timesheets and expense
sheets. Archived projects can be re-activated (“un-archived”)
at any time.
For more information about this feature, refer to Closing
and Archiving Projects in Web TimeSheet’s online help.
