ClickWork
ClickWork is a no-nonsense, very-easy-to-use Time Tracker.
ClickWork enables you to track the time spent on different activities.
- Step one is the creation of an activity, which will create
a transparent pushbutton, called an activity button in ClickWork.
- Next, you drag the activity button to another spot in the
window.
- Then, simply click on the activity button and ClickWork
will start tracking the time spent on that activity.
- Simply click once more on the activity button to stop the
tracking. Or click on another activity button to end the tracking
of the current activity and start tracking the clicked activity.
- Simply drag an activity button to the trashcan, once you
no longer need to track that activity.
- Essentially, that's all.
But of course, there are many very-easy-to-use features and reporting
facilities. In addition to various obvious activity reports for
management you can also print statistical reports and even display graphs,
either within ClickWork or using Excel.
ClickWork is multi-user. Moreover, it
enables you to let certain users share the same table and let another
group of users share another table. This construction is ideal for
use in a department. The department uses a single installation of
ClickWork and each member of a group in the department uses the group's
table. Thus, in theory, reporting can be made on the department level,
on the group level and on the user level. (Version 1.4 only supports
reporting on the user level. Reporting on the department/group level
is implemented in version 1.5 as a 'manager' feature.)
In version 1.5 users can be given access to only a subset of the functions.
The possibilities are almost limitless, without becoming complicated.
Simply define some 'access profiles' and assign them to the users.
Also new in version 1.5 is 'password on entry'. It is disabled in the
default access profile, but it can simply be activated.
Perhaps the most important new feature in version 1.5 is the manager
option. A 'manager' has the right to view and manage the data of a span
of users. This enables the manager to produce multi-user reports and
graphs. Also, the manager can build a predefined Activities List. Users
can choose from this list when creating an activity button.
ClickWork is meant for experienced, professional PC-users who
spend a substantial part of their working day at a computer. For this
reason and because ClickWork is very intuitive, the helpfile is kept
minimal and only contains useful tips about features that are less obvious.
But don't underestimate it. The help is always context sensitive and
in version 1.5 it even fully adapts to the user's access profile, meaning
that no help texts are available with regard to options that are not
available to the user.
You can download the Trial
Version, which is full featured and without any time limit. You
will occasionally see a text that it is a trial version and reports
also display that text.
Once you have decided to accept ClickWork as your definitive Time Tracker,
you can buy one or more License
Keys. There is an extensive and powerful licensing
scheme, enabling you to scale ClickWork exactly to your current
and future needs. In essence, a license key tells ClickWork to allow
concurrent use by x users within the department. Since an installation
of ClickWork can act upon more license keys, additional license keys
can be bought at any time and simply added to the same installation.
For example, suppose you already own a license key for 4 users and you
add a license key for 8 users, then you will have an installation that
allows 12 users. When you add another license for 8 users, you will
have an installation for 20 users, and so on. Each buy comes with a
table about the license keys, that you can import in, for example, Excel
and that will help you in administering which departments are using
which license keys.
