Custom Fields for Tasks
The new custom fields functionality lets you record additional subsets of task data not presented in actiTIME by default. It allows to build an unlimited number of non-standard task categories and see how much time is spent on each of them via the Custom Fields Report.
Task priority, issue number, promotion channel or budget – custom fields can capture anything that makes sense to you!
Use them to organize your work in a more meaningful way:
- Choose what kind of custom field you want to create: text-entry or drop-down
- Sort your tasks by custom attributes in the Tasks interface
- Run the Custom Fields Report to analyze time expenses for relevant task categories
- Download the report in CSV format and export your data to third-party tools

New API REST Hooks
We created additional API REST Hooks that let you subscribe for any updates in users’ time-track, including the changes in their logged leave time values and timesheet approval statuses (i.e., Approved / Not Approved).
Fresh API Features
We added a few helpful API features that allow you to:
- Enter and modify leave time
- Edit users’ release dates
- Invite new users to actiTIME in bulk more safely and conveniently
- Sort users by their last names when retrieving the list of users
- Subscribe for updates in individual tasks, using the “taskIds” filter
- Read the names of tasks’ work statuses and types of work in REST Hooks subscription notifications and other relevant data request responses
Reports Dashboard with Real-Time Widgets
The modernized actiTIME Reports Dashboard offers fast and easy access to all information you need to make the right management decisions.
You can take advantage of the following reporting features:
- Real-Time Widgets display performance trends on beautiful sparkline charts. They capture changes in your working and leave hours, updating the data every 5 minutes.
- The redesigned Shortcuts to Reports & Charts make it more convenient to generate your favorite actiTIME reports just the way you like and in a matter of seconds.
- A new side panel with the full list of actiTIME reports appears once you click on the + New Report button. It includes short descriptions of the main report categories and facilitates access to your multiple reporting options.
- A flexible drag-and-drop interface allows you to move the features around the dashboard. Plus, you can choose what functionality to see or exclude from the page using configurable view settings.
In addition to the above changes, we renovated the appearance of actiTIME reports and gave them a slicker and more contemporary look. A new + Create shortcut button was also added to the interface of every built report to help you save your data parameters quickly and comfortably.
