What is TimeSheet Reporter?
TimeSheet Reporter® makes it
possible to report time on organizations, projects and
activities from your MS Outlook® Calendar.
You can also integrate TSR with
your other systems, such as accounting, ERP and CRM, and
share data both ways.
Will I have the same functions in my
Outlook Calendar as I used to?
Yes. TSR will only add
functionalities, not remove any.
We
already have an ERP system that our staff enter their time
in. What do we need TSR for?
TSR makes it possible to register time via your Outlook
calendar. In this way your staff do not need to go into
several different systems, as well as remember what they did
several days ago. This minimizes the risk for errors and
missing time entries. The information is already there.
TSR is furthermore able to share data (both ways) such as
projects, activities and time entries with your other
systems, including ERP, CRM and accounting systems, so
you’re still able to work with your data there.
When I invite others to an
appointment, will the TSR info such as project, activity,
etc. also be in the appointments of the people I invite?
They will have to add this
information themselves, to make sure that they add projects,
etc. that they have access to.
I use Outlook in a language that
TimeSheet Reporter does not come with. Can I still use the
product?
Sure, no problem. Just use
the language you prefer in TSR (for example English), or
create your own language files.
What are the system requirements
for running TSR?
For the system requirements for
running TSR, please see the product sheet –
TSR Product Sheet.
Do we need to use Microsoft Exchange
to use TimeSheet Reporter?
Not at all. Information is
stored locally and on the TSR Server.
We use iMail server and local Outlook
calendars. Can we still use TSR?
Sure. TSR is not dependent on
for example MS Exchange.
We use Mac computers. Can we use TSR?
Yes. We do not have a Mac
client at the moment, but you can access the TSR web
interface via the browser.
Do you support iPad?
At the moment we do not have
an iPad app, however, you can access the TSR web interface
via the browser.
Do you support iPhone?
At the moment we do not
support iPhone.
Can I register and submit time for my colleagues?
Yes. If you have the right
privileges you can register and submit time for your
colleagues via the web interface.
What happens if I delete an
appointment that has been submitted for approval, or has
already been approved?
No worries. TSR can be
configured to recreate deleted appointments in your
calendar. Talk to your system administrator to have this
feature enabled.
I would like to use data from TSR in
my ERP system and also the other way around. What should I
do?
TSR DataBridge (which is
included) makes it possible to exchange data between TSR and
other systems. See the manual for further information on how
to set this up.
Can I still create appointments, such
as private appointments and birthdays, without them having
to be used with TSR?
Yes. You can use your calendar
as you always have. Only appointments that you need to
report time on needs to be filled out with TSR data.
How do I see if an appointment is
submitted, approved, etc.?
There are actual several ways.
The appointment will change its status, and visually it will
change color in your calendar.
Can I use
TSR if I'm not logged on to the server or am offline?
Yes. TSR has great offline possibilities when
working with Microsoft Outlook.
Is it
possible to manually enter or edit time entries, without
using Outlook?
It is. Have the need to sometimes skip Outlook and
enter or edit your time entries manually? With the TSR web
interface this option is also possible.
The same feature also makes it possible for users with the
right privileges to manually enter and edit time entries for
other users.
Can I buy fewer TSR licenses than I have
Outlook users?
Yes. You only need to
acquire licenses for the users that need to register time.
Since the price per license drops according to the number of
licenses you buy, you might consider acquiring for all your
users though.
We are using MS Office 2003. Can we
use TSR?
TSR is in it’s current form
only designed for MS Office 2007 and Office 2010. There
are other benefits of upgrading your Office, so you might
want to consider that.
Does TSR
support MS Office 2010?
Yes it does.
Is AD
necessary to use TSR?
For the hosted version (where we host the server
part so you only need to install the Outlook user agent),
no. Login will here be made via username and password. For
the on-premise solution (where you host the server part
yourself), yes. Login will here be made using your AD
credentials.
Do we
need a server environment to use TSR?
For the hosted version, no. We will here host the
server part for you, so you basically only need a computer
with Outlook and an internet connection, on where to install
the TSR Outlook addin. For the on-premise solution, you will
need a Microsoft Server invironment on which to install and
run the TSR server part.
For more information about the
technical requirements, please check out the
product sheet.
What languages does TSR come with?
You can find an overview
of which languages that TSR currently comes with
here.
What industries does TimeSheet
Reporter suit?
TimeSheet Reporter is used for
time reporting. So it’s actually for all companies and
organizations that need to know how their staff spend their
time, and on which projects.
Selling hours? Great. You can easily have hours reported on
specific customer projects, without the need to use
different systems.
Not selling hours? Also great. TSR will give you a great
overview and control over how time is spent.
Is it easy for users to use TSR and
get started fast?
Yes, very much. We created
this system to make timesheet reporting easy for staff and
management alike. If your users know how to use the Outlook
calendar, they should have no problems whatsoever in using
TSR.
Can I see TSR in action?
Sure. Watch the
TimeSheet Reporter videos

screenshots, or download a free full functional
trial.
