New V6 Feature

Tracking time in ProWorkflow has never been easier thanks to a new feature we are announcing today for inclusion in the upcoming Version 6 (rolling out to customers starting this week).

Currently in ProWorkflow if you want to track time on an item you need to log in and navigate to that task, tell the system when you want to start, then repeat the process when you want to finish.

Here at ProActive Software we are committed to making your life easier, upgrading/adding any features that can aid this goal. That’s why we are proud to announce our brand new time tracking feature “Chronomancy”.

What is it?

Chronomancy is a system of foretelling the future (Greek chrono, “Time”; manteia, “divination”), whereby we can tell you your time records for the entire day upon logging into the system on that day.

How is it done?

Chronomancy is done by a series of complex algorithms that analyses all your time records for the past year, factoring in days where you didn’t track time (your weekends and holidays), the time of day those records were created, duration of records and other applicable information.

We then use a series of systems that “read” the names of all your tasks and projects and compares them to various dictionaries and your specific industry’s terms to figure out what each task is related to (whether it is an admin task, design task etc).

Through a combination of these records we can ascertain how much time you normally track on the specific day, how many records the time consists of, and what types of tasks are normally done.

We then go through all of your tasks and pre-track time on them for the day using this information, so when you first log in all you have to do is confirm the time records.

What are the benefits?

Through Chronomancy you never have to worry about time tracking again!

No longer do you have to go into each individual task and track time, because the system already knows what you would have done on the specific day.

This is going to revolutionize the time management portion of ProWorkflow, revolutionize time tracking in the Project Management space, and save you a significant amount of time!

When will this be out?

We are planning to include this in Version 6 of ProWorkflow, rolling out to customers starting this week. Let us know what you think in the comments below, we are really excited about this new functionality!
