changelog cover

New Features

Custom User Fields

  • Admins can now add custom fields to user profiles for enhanced filtering and reporting capabilities (available on Unlimited plan and higher). This makes it easier to segment users by role, department, or other custom attributes in reports and exports.

  • Note that these custom fields are currently only available in report CSV and XLSX exports, and can't be used to filter reports and timesheets inside Timely.

Profitability Tracking

  • Track project, client, employee and team profitability with new cost and margin calculations, helping you better understand the financial performance of your projects. The profitability is displayed as a percentage and automatically calculates based on billable rates and costs.

  • You can use these new metrics for several purposes, for example identifying which teams, team members or clients are most profitable:

Improvements to Timesheet Data Tables

  • We added the ability to show column and row summaries in data tables.

    If you select one or more rows in the table, the summary row shows statistics for those rows only, making it useful for quick analysis:

    You can click the sums to change the type of summary shown:

  • Added a separate client column to timesheet data table for better organization.

  • The notes column now shows by default in data tables.

  • You can now customize the money format display in data tables; Change the format by clicking Options above the data table, and select "Currency":
