Improved ‘Planning Projects’

VOGSY has deployed a change in Planning Projects that released a fix for the following:

Planning Projects and Planning Resources were not showing the same information for the current and previous weeks:

‘Planning Resources’ is showing timesheet data for current and previous weeks and ‘Planning Projects’ was showing planned hours. When time was tracked differently than what was planned, there was a discrepancy in hours shown in these planning views.

The issue has been solved  by improving ‘Planning Projects’ so this view is now showing the tracked hours for current and previous weeks, in addition to future planned hours

There are two things you should know about this change:

Change in ‘Planning Projects’ permissions

Since the current and previous weeks are showing timesheet data, the permissions of ‘Timesheets’ are applied when changing the hours of these weeks.

You can change hours in the current week or previous weeks when:
  • The hours are your own 
  • The setting ‘Lock time entries’ allows you to
  • If you have access to the back office (you are assigned the role ‘Support Staff), you can always change hours.
The permissions for changing future weeks are unchanged.

Changed column in reports

VOGSY offers a set of Google Sheet Reports that allow you to import VOGSY data in Google Sheets, so you can build your own reports using Google Sheets.
Due to the Planning Projects change, we’ve renamed a column in the back office Reports ‘Deliverables’ and 'Projects’. The column, formally named ‘Hours in Draft Until Today’ is now titled ‘Hours in Draft’. To update these columns, you will need to access and refresh these reports in the back office. To refresh the report, select ‘Add-On’s from the Google Sheet top bar, then select VOGSY - refresh report.
