Upgrade times and more flexible accounts

Welcome to the December of edition of the 88 Miles newsletter! This month brings some cool updates to 88 Miles, which I hope will make your lives just that little bit easier.

88 Miles tip

Did you know you can manually add shifts to a project retrospectively?

This is really handy if you forgot to punch in, or if you did some work away from you computer.

Just click the “Options” button, select “Summary” from the drop-down panel and then click “Manually add a shift”.

New accounts

The biggest update this month is the introduction of the new business accounts. The business version has been in beta for a couple of months, and it is now time for it to go live!

The pricing structure should cater for everyone — there is a price point for everyone from freelancers to huge corporations — if you are interested in seeing how much is all costs now, goto the pricing page. For those of you who were business beta testers, you get a special surprise — you get access to the corporate version of 88 Miles for free for the next 12 months (Value: $648!).

The other big news is that the free account has just become useful! The free account has no time limits, and has no limit on the number of staff you can have. The only limit is you can only punch 40 hours per month (so roughly 10 hours per week). As a result, those of you who's accounts have expired have been un-expired — so login again and see what has changed!

Better reports

88 Miles will now generate graphs for project summaries and project staff summaries. If your have a JavaScript enabled browser, you will be able get a visual representation of where your time is going.

To see the graphs:

Pick a project
Click “Options”
Click “Summary”
Click “Graph view”

Until next time...

Happy time tracking! (And remember to tell you friends!)

This week in 88 Miles

I have made a couple of small changes this week, but they should make your life just that little bit easier.

Tagging

You can't have a Web 2.0 project without tagging, and frankly, why should 88 Miles miss out? Now you can tag projects, which makes filtering much easier. Click on the "Options" button for any project and you will see a text box - put in a tag and hit "Add" and your project is tagged!

Time rounding

For those of you that charge in time blocks, the summary pages allows you to round the totals of each shift up to the nearest 6th, 10th, 15th, 25th, 30th, 45th or 60th minute. You can find this option under the "Filter" link in the menu on the summary pages.

That's all for this week - don't forget to send all of your suggestions, so 88 Miles can get better and better!
