Time Tracking Widget in Beta

Have you ever wanted to track some time on a task that’s in ProWorkflow without having to open up a browser and log into your account? 

This is something constantly requested by many of our customers that simply want to be able to track time across different projects/tasks without the need to jump around in ProWorkflow, it pushed us to develop a time tracking widget/gadget written in the Apple Widget Engine but we encountered problems and didn’t like the limited base (OSX & Vista only).

That’s why we’ve now finished rebuilding the time tracker from the ground up in Adobe Air, while there are many benefits to using Adobe Air, the main one for us is the cross platform nature, we can write code without having to worry whether it will work on Windows/Mac/Linux properly.

Tracking time using the PWF Time Tracker

We’ve been tested it internally over the past couple of weeks and we’re now ready to release it out to customers as a beta, while we’re confident there aren’t any show-stopping bugs, if you come across anything that isn’t acting as you would expect it to then please send us an email about it.

Install Adobe Air if you don’t have it yet then download and unzip the widget installer to your desktop and double click to install it. Keep glued to the blog for any updates to the widget as it doesn’t currently auto-update, in the mean time however we have versioning so if you try to install a newer version it will just update instead of re-install.

After first installing the application you will be presented with the settings screen, simply enter in your account url and then the username/password you use for your account, from there it’s all pretty self explanatory.

If you have any questions/queries/concerns then let us know in the comments!
