Version 2.4.5 Released

There was a very minor release of Time Clock MTS made yesterday (version 2.4.4) that fixed up an error that a very few people were seeing. Today I made another release that includes a new report, the ‘Job Punchcard Report’ which you can see above. This report is very similar to the Punchcard Report. It shows a list of all time punches for the employee over the report period plus the job worked on for each punch. A total for each job worked on during the report period is shown at the bottom of each employee section. If you don’t know what job tracking is in Time Clock MTS you should take a look at our job tracking time clock page for more... read more

Remove Page Breaks Between Employees on Reports

We received an interesting email today that contains a little tip that could be handy to some Time Clock MTS users. When we print a summary report of all employees it prints each employee on a separate sheet, can it print them all on one sheet (or as many as it can fit)? My Reply: Go to the Tools->Options->Report Settings page and uncheck the ‘new employees page break’ setting. If you’re wondering what page this is you can take a look at the Report Settings Help Topic for more information. Putting a page break in between employees on reports was one of the most requested features for the software, and wouldn’t you know it as soon as it was changed people started asking for it to be changed back! Now Time Clock MTS has the flexibility to print reports either... read more

Just a minor release today fixing up an error introduced with the last version plus two other problems that a very few users were seeing. The refresh employee list button wasn’t working correctly in the client version, employee bulletins were not being displayed correctly , and one user was getting a strange error message. All of these are now fixed... read more

Version 2.4.2 Released

A new release today, I was tempted to move to version 2.5.0 because the changes under the bonnet of Time Clock MTS were pretty significant. However, I hope that you, the user, wont actually notice any changes other than Time Clock MTS being faster and more reliable. So, the software has just moved along to Version 2.4.2. The changes made to the software can seen below. Added a link to the animated job tracking demo on the Tools->Options->Job Tracking screen. Changed some of the text on the Tools->Options->System Options page to make it easier to understand. Added a warning to the File->Reset Admin Password menu. Some people seem to think that this is the only way to reset the admin password. Actually it’s only there to be used when you FORGET the admin password. You can change the admin password at any time on the Tools->Options->System Options page. Made some sweeping changes to the software to try to fix up the ‘error 0’ message that more and more people are seeing. The error was not reproducible and I suspect wasn’t fixable. So, we’ve completely replaced the list box control used on the employee list interface with a new (and hopefully more reliable) one. There were a bunch of code changes required to do this and to try to catch the error if it keeps happening. The new list control is a good one and opens up some possibilities for a better user interface further down the track. Stay tuned for... read more
