What's new?

Proudly, we announce the deploy of a major release of VOGSY! This post describes 2 major changes which we want to bring to your attention:

Improved UI


Following the recently released  UI-improvements, the cards and views of persons, organizations, and projects are redesigned so they match the latest Google Material Design patterns. These patterns make the UI more consistent and will provide you better user experience.

New project view

Besides this new look, also the navigation is improved. Frequently used navigation options which were listed as menu items are now displayed as actionable icons on the project card. This enables you to navigate more quickly to the edit form, project planning or the calculation and resourcing section of a project.

Track and submit time from 'My Planning'


Since time sheets are prefilled with planned hours, it makes sense to submit time from your planning.
Submitting time from your planning would provide another advantage: You don't have to toggle between 'My Planning' and 'My Timesheets' every time you didn't spend time according to plan and want to re-plan the remaining hours.

From now on, My Planning shows time entries for the current week and past weeks instead of planned hours. At the beginning of a new week, the planned hours of the new week becomes draft time entries. This way you can track spent time for the current week and past week in My Planning.

When there are unsubmitted (draft) time entries, the action 'Submit' will appear. This enables you to submit draft time entries of that week.


Track and submit time in 'My Planning'

It's also possible to submit time entries until the last day of the month. Therefore you'll need to toggle the 'Week-view' of 'My Planning'. The action 'Submit' will appear when the current week is the last week of the current month. 

Of course, it's still possible to use 'My Timesheets' to track time.

Good to know: function Planning Resources is also showing time entries for the current week and past weeks. This allows you to see in one view the tracked time of different resources.

We hope you'll enjoy the new UI and the improved planning features!
