Time Sheets in Open Atrium

Fuse recently released Time Tracker for Open Atrium. Time Tracker allows us to track time for cases and with the accompanying feature we can then report on the time entries for projects by group member (or all members), for any time span we wish. This has been an excellent tool and has made Open Atrium a more complete project management system for us. While Time Tracker has eliminated the need for us to use an external time tracking tool, we were still missing a way for staff to log time efficiently across projects without having to go directly into the case, all while getting a weekly snapshot of hours. In short, we really needed time sheets, but didn't want staff to have to go somewhere else to fill out a time sheet for approval. We wanted to be able to do this all in OA and have it work seamlessly with Case Tracker and Time Tracker. We know that the easier it is to enter time, the more consistently it will get done. Enter the Time Sheets sub module!

Downloading the Time Tracker module will get you the Time Sheets module and it depends a little on the Case Tracker module for now in addition to the dependencies Time Sheets already has. We're still getting some bugs worked out, but we're really excited with the tool so far. Once we're done our internal testing and cleaned up the code a bit, we'll be releasing a stable version of Time Tracker for all of you to enjoy. We'll keep you posted.

Hey Codi,

This looks great! I'd love to see a screenshot or two of how it looks inside OA.

Thanks!

No screenshot yet. Just putting the final touches on it and i'm going to commit later today. You should be able to take a look. Still dev and pretty dependent on casetracker/atrium.

I'm fairly new to Drupal (and OpenAtrium).
I tried the module and it looks promising! Nice!

Nice work. We're using OA, but im fairly new on this drupal thing. I've added the module and activated it, and i've added some time estimates for tasks - However, i cant seem to find where to get the reports or summarys.
If there's time, a nice tutorial would be appreciated!

Hey Edvin,

We're still working feverishly on the module. We had some nice reports in there, but recently pulled them out to re-tool them. They should be back soon. For now you should be able to get a pretty simple breakdown of hours at /reports.

The module on d.o seems a little abandoned.

Will you continue the work on Time Tracker?

Hey Fidelix,

Were you checking out http://drupal.org/project/time_tracker? Still pretty active, just no full release yet. We're working towards it and are hoping for a full release towards the end of August.
