The reports are generated as HTML files so they can be easily published to the web or sent to a client. New report types can be easily created. Several projects can be open at a time and applications and documents can be tracked in different projects simultaneously. Supports COM interface and can be integrated with other software such as Excel or MS Project with the help of plug-ins.
Our Review: This program hides on the tool bar and tracks the user and what applications they are using. This is used as a billing program so you can charge people for using applications. Every application is separately customizable and reasonably easy to setup while being very versatile. It also has the option of recording off-time such as phone calls, coffee breaks, and time spent doing non-computer work. Included in the program is a client manager and the ability to have a sliding-scale charging system to adjust the charge-rate for projects that exceed the usual time period. Fantastic for web-designers and the like who need to charge at different rates for different activities on the same computer.
