Standard Time® 2012
Team Collaboration Software

Use the screenshots and steps below to configure Standard Time for team collaboration.  These guidelines will help you get the most from Standard Time.

1. Create Project Tasks
Click the Project Tasks tab near the top of the main window and create project tasks for your projects.  Your team can use these to share information and collect timesheet hours.

Collaborate on Projects

Projects in Standard Time may be shared amongst your team members.  You can assign them to individual users, or workgroups.  The tasks in those projects can also be divided among the users assigned to the project.  Each task can have time limits, forcing employees to stay within your project guidelines.  Email notifications are sent to managers when those limits are approaching.  Tasks can also be removed from team member timesheets.  Each task collects salary and client costs, and can be printed on invoices and reports.  Download now.

2. Manage future task assignments
Choose View, Project Resource Allocation to see how your team is allocated into the future.  This windows shows the number of hours assigned to each team member.

Resource Allocation

Project resource allocation allows you to look into the future to ensure each team member has sufficient project tasks to work on.  It allows you to prioritize projects that must be completed or make the most profit.  You can see the allocated hours for individuals, your workgroup, or the entire team.  A bar chart and two text grids lets you get down to the details of hourly project time.  You can even schedule employee hours for each day.

3. Enter Hours into Timesheet
Team members see only their own projects and task.  Some tasks may be assigned to multiple team members, allowing each one to enter time.  Managers can run reports for all employees.

Timesheets and Time Tracking

Each person on the team has their own timesheet.  Projects and tasks assigned to the employee are shown on his timesheet only.  Managers can collaborate on projects and tasks by examining each employee timesheet.  They can approve time and expenses each week, and see a list of employees who have submitted their timesheets.

4. Check Team Status
Choose View, Employee Status to see the last tasks employees were working on.

Employee Status

You'll know the exact status of each employee with this single view.  It shows what each employee is working.  It also shows the number of project hours logged today and this week.  Team collaboration means knowing where each member is, and what projects they are charging time to.  You can also approve time and expenses on a weekly basis for each employee.

5. Track PTO, Vacation, Sick, Personal
Enter PTO time off right in the timesheet.  A Gantt-style graphical view and calendar view lets you to see when other team members are taking time off.

Time Off Tracking

Standard Time collects Time Off requests for vacation, sick, personal, and other reasons.  It keeps balances of each employee's time, for each reason.  You can even configure it to calculate Compensatory time (comp time) for hours worked in previous weeks.
