It would be great if employees could view their times at the terminal or via the barcode page.

Checkin with token -> 10 seconds display appears (as usual), but additionally a button "Show times" and you can call up your personal reports (week, month etc. reports as in the web interface). We hang out touchscreens, so control via buttons would be possible. At the top right or similar, there should always be a flashing red button "Logout" in this menu, so that you can log out.

Original:

Toll wäre eine Möglichkeit für die Arbeitnehmer, am Terminal bzw. über die Barcode-Seite ihre Zeiten einzusehen.

Checkin mit Token -> 10 Sekunden Anzeige erscheint (wie gehabt) allerdings zusätzlich ein Button "Zeiten anzeigen" und man kann seine persönlichen Reports aufrufen (woche, Monat etc. Reports wie in Weboberfläche). Wir hängen Touchscreens aus, daher wäre die Steuerung über Buttons möglich. Oben rechts. o.Ä. sollte in dieserm Menü immer ein blinkender, roter Button sein "Abmelden", damit man sich auslogt.

Hi,
I may be interested in the custom field plugin but...

Which version is compatible. I see the v2 is not (even if I don't understand what is the v2 - I have the version 1.30.1 from git)
On the Kimai mobile can we "see" these custom fields and if yes which version - BTW the Kimai mobile shows all the activities even without any client/project selected
Thanks.
PS: Bravo for the project and best wishes for this new year.

In the Meta Projects area, allow the definition of a data field in which variables from Kimai can be used. Also for mathematical calculations regarding the budgets, sum of working hours and numerous META fields in this section.

As additional to the start & stop feature, it would be nice to have a + button on the Dashboard and detail page.

Would like to see Expenses in Report view.

• For admin: Tabular view with the total of all expenses for each individual user, if possible showing total of all types of expenses
• For users: tabular annual view of expenses, monthly seperated, showing all types

Referecnce should be for both views "Settings > Financial year"

Hi there!
My colleagues asked me if there was a way to assign a specific datasheet entry to a task because they sometimes uses the Kemai app instead of the webapp and they wanted to link a measurement to the task they are working on.
Is it possible to develop?

BR,

Giorgio

In calendar view, it does not appear possible to view team tasks, only tasks assigned to me. Desired functionality would be as follows:

1. Teamlead can view the list of all tasks assigned to his team. The tasks already assigned and scheduled are displayed on the calendar, and the tasks not assigned show up on the left side.
2. Teamlead can drag and drop any team assignment to the calendar. If the task is assigned to the team (and not a user), the software prompts the user to assign a user.

• automated notifications to configured e-mail adresses of users, which get a task assigned would improve quality of life.

Filtering in Expenses works good, but there are no totals: weekly, monthly and yearly like in the dashboard.

Describe the solution you'd like:
Add in the Symbol Menu with the stacked three sheets Expenses totals

When I am exporting time sheets, it would also be nice to be able to close the expenses with the push button on the top right corner of the Export page. I use this feature a lot to close out time sheets so it would be nice to have inline with the expenses as well. Currently as is, I have to go into each expense and switch to exported individually. Maybe this could be a optional selection that could be included in the push button.

Could you help create some task where the from time could be assigned in advance or it could be a said duration before the to time which is configurable (also having a default value). The tasks need not start exactly from the time time, but are an indicator that they should start by them. If they do not start by then they are to be flagged as amber or red.

Also can one task be linked to another task indicating the second is dependent on the first and if the first breaches the to time and this time is greater than the from start time for the second task them its a breach and tuns the second task also into red. Chaining or linking could be a powerful feature. If chaining of tasks is not set then they are independent tasks capable of being executed in parallel or sequentially as required.

Also can there be a setting available like a set amount of time configurable (and a default value if to time is set) by when if any task has breached the threshold the status turns to amber indicating if action is not taken then the task would fall into jeopardy of not being able to meet the final deadline.

When using the money input field, the icon does not seems to match the global currency. I could not seem to find a way to change this directly. It is a very small thing, but thought I would share awareness.

It would be a great feature to display scheduled tasks in the calendar view. In this way, a better overview of the planned workload is possible.

In a task i define the to date. And for one task I define multiiple subtasks. The end data for all of the subtasks is the to date of the master or main task. All sub tasks can run in parallel, but cant be done by the same user hence ideally each sub task would be an independent task but one that has a linking to the main task and all time against all of the sub-tasks get accumulated to the main task.

Pausing of the main task puts on hold all of the subtasks, but pausing of one of the subtask does not put the main one on hold.

It would be like just referencing
main
child 1
child 2
child 3
child 4

or even more powerful

master
child1
child1.1
child1.2
child2
child3
child3.1
child3.2
child3.2.1
child4

These may be difficult but linking one record to a master and so on is what makes this a chain or tasks. A task creation where you can + add master then if you need add child and keep going. Finally you have all these pending tasks which ideally are individual tasks but can be traced back using the linking.

Current list allows various options.

It would be good if an additional input field for users in the kimai system and teams are also added.

Add a tiny button next to the VAT ID input if the country is one of the EU.

Clicking the button then triggers a call to the official web service to validate the VAT ID:
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/technicalInformation.html

The date of the last check and the result of the last check will be saved as custom field and displayed.

Question: where should the info appear? In the help_html attribute of the customer?

Hi!

Great plugin, exactly what we need.

I have the following issue: the translations are not considered when generating PDF exports. There the standard translations (in my case German) are used.

Thx M

At the moment meta-fields have to be patched one by one after creating a timesheet entry via the api.

I'd be better if the meta-fields could be send with the timesheet creation post request.

Json example:

{
   "begin":"2020-07-02T11:07:27",
   "end":"2020-07-02T11:07:27",
   "duration":"string",
   "project":0,
   "activity":0,
   "description":"string",
   "tags":"string",
   "fixedRate":0,
   "hourlyRate":0,
   "description":null,
   "metaFields":[
      {
         "name":"key1",
         "value":"value1"
      },
      {
         "name":"key2",
         "value":"value2"
      },
      {
         "name":"key3",
         "value":"value3"
      }
   ]
}

I'd like to ask for a new field that shows a drop-down with the currently registered users.
The idea is to be able to assign a user e.g. to a project, activity or customer.

I understand this could be sort of problematic to rely on entities that could be deleted anytime, so I suggest the selected user name in the drop-down list is saved as clear text only for this requested field type.
An alternative is to build a custom field of drop-down type and write down a list of registered users, but I would prefer just to be able to select an existing user of the database without the need to maintain another "user list".

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We use the expenses to record attendance fees. For example, if I have a meeting tonight, I make an entry for 1 attendance fee. In addition, I make another entry for travel expenses. I have saved two types for this. Once the attendance fee, which I enter with the number 1, and once the travel expenses, which I enter with the number of kilometers. This means that I have to enter two entries for each session.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be a big simplification if I only had to enter one entry per session where the attendance fee can be selected and the travel expenses can also be recorded.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried to do this with the add-on module custom-fields, but I cannot use it to enter additional amounts in the expenses that count as total.

Screenshot
It would be great if I could add several categories with one + icon.

My use case is that I have defined a "lunch break" meta field. The break duration should be deducted from the overall duration.

please add in the data field INPUT FIELD the definition for IBAN:
AA 99 9999 9999 9999 9999 99
AA only upper case
99 only numbers

If u want to make it for international use add also the BIC
Definition see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9362

Tasks are linked to the customer, project and activity. What would be great would be a dashboard which shows count of all tasks created, assigned, pending in a dashboard view which categorises by customer, project and activity and by any custom field set by the user.

Also if the dasboard so created gives the count as links and they can show all tasks sorted in the order of the completion time this would be a killer feature. In addition to this tasks which have spilled over beyond the set completing time shown in some colour and easily identifiable from with the list and the user currently working on them and the time spent by each user would be fabulous. Something that could be a dashboard plugin which all users might be looking for.

This bashboard can be replicated per team, and depending on the team only those tasks linked with the team and users in them their count are shown.

Hello everyone,

we request a change related to the limitation field within the creation of custom fields for a project.

Is it possible to change the limitation from a single customer to a multiple choice field? Would make us life much easier during the analysis of our projects.

Rationale:

in our current design we are requied to set a specific date field for projects for a couple of customers. This custom field is currently required to be defined for each customer seperatley. Is it possible to limit a single custom field definition for multiple customers that those are identical within exports and not alligned within different columns?

Best regards.

Hi,

as seen in kevinpapst/KioskBundle#10 and kevinpapst/KioskBundle#20, it would be great to have some more flexibility for the login process via barcode.

I have two usecases for this:

First, i would like to just let users login (without logout!). The logout should happen automatically (read: the duration should be set on login and determine the end date of the timesheet). In general, this could be reached by defining a default duration in the setup of the kiosk plugin.

Second, i would like to let the user choose the activity to participate in after the barcode check-in. This would require a change in the kiosk setup dialogue to allow only selecting a project without activity and in the barcode ui to select the activity after scanning the barcode.

This led me to think about the barcode login more generally. To create a new timesheet, you need some mandatory fields:

• start date and -time
• end date and -time or duration
• project
• activity

An approach would be to encode as many fields as needed in the barcode and leave those blank, that should be selected by the user (depending on users permissions in projects/activities). For my usecases, this would make it possible to define a default project and a default duration, but lets the user select which activity of the project he/she wants to participate in in a second step.

This would make the use of the barcode scanner really flexible, but requires a strict rights management to prevent users from logging into activities they're not permitted to. Additionally, i'm afraid it would require more information in the barcode, perhaps by using qrcodes as mentioned in kevinpapst/KioskBundle#1? :-)

It would be great if custom fields could be sorted the same way as the existing fields provided by Kimai.
It would be even greater, if custom fields could be included within text search or you could define custom fields to be shown in the search mask as filter options.

Currently it is not possible to filter for a specific task by the title or from the time sheet view. Kindly allow this so that tasks can be easily searched or referenced to the time sheet view. Kindly help identify all of the time sheet records that are associated with a said task.

For grouping it would be helpful if dividing lines with an integrated heading could be defined at any point.
------------------ "Heading" ----------------------------- -----------------

Currently a user is able to change whether an expense is billable even if they do not have edit permissions on their timesheet. This could be good in some cases, but it might be nice to be able to choose whether or not a role can edit that option or not.

The latest Task Management release seems to be still using PHP 7, has it been migrated to PHP 8 yet? I see that it's working in the 2.0.0 demo instance and was wondering if that ported version has been uploaded yet

This can be moved to the translation plugin (to which I have no access so far).

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to ask for a feature to be able to translate user defined content like meta-field names, meta-field descriptions and possibly even meta-field values e.g. in drop-downs.
If Kimai is used in multiple languages by the users, it would be very helpful to be able to translate those so they are shown in the selected language. Also, if you want to add any of the custom meta-fields in invoice templates, you could have them translated in the languages used.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I don't think there is any alternative.

Screenshot
None.

Hi @kevinpapst ,

in our case for some customers we need to attach invoices for the expenses.
Of course I'm not suggesting to attach any file, but I think it would be very nice if there was a field where to save an url/path to the folder and filename where the invoice pdf scan in actually stored.

Do you think that would be feasible?

Ciao,
A.

I need to create a custom report page that will show all logged hours for a month for every customer->project->activity. For this I went and copied&modified the prepareMonthlyData function inside the ReportingController.php:

    private function prepareMonthlyDataForAll(array $allUsersData): array
    {
        $days = [];

        foreach ($allUsersData as $userDays) {
            foreach($userDays as $day){
                $days[$day->getDay()->format('Ymd')] = ['date' => $day->getDay(), 'duration' => 0];
            }
        }

        $rows = [];

        /** @var Day $day */
        foreach ($allUsersData as $userDays) {
            foreach($userDays as $day) {
                $dayId = $day->getDay()->format('Ymd');
                foreach ($day->getDetails() as $id => $detail) {

                    echo "<script>console.log(".json_encode( $detail ).");</script>";

                    // Set customer data
                    $customerId = $detail['project']->getCustomer()->getId();
                    if (!\array_key_exists($customerId, $rows)) {
                        $rows[$customerId] = [
                            'customer' => $detail['project']->getCustomer(),
                            'duration' => 0,
                            'duration_percent' => 0,
                            'travel' => 0,
                            'travel_percent' => 0,
                            'days' => $days,
                            'projects' => [],
                        ];
                    }
    
                    $rows[$customerId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];
                    $rows[$customerId]['days'][$dayId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];

                    // Set project data
                    $projectId = $detail['project']->getId();
                    if (!\array_key_exists($projectId, $rows[$customerId]['projects'])) {
                        $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId] = [
                            'project' => $detail['project'],
                            'duration' => 0,
                            'duration_percent' => 0,
                            'travel' => 0,
                            'travel_percent' => 0,
                            'days' => $days,
                            'activities' => [],
                        ];
                    }

                    $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];
                    $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['days'][$dayId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];

                    // Set activity data
                    $activityId = $detail['activity']->getId();
                    if (!\array_key_exists($activityId, $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['activities'])) {
                        $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['activities'][$activityId] = [
                            'activity' => $detail['activity'],
                            'duration' => 0,
                            'travel' => 0,
                            'days' => $days,
                        ];
                    }
    
                    $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['activities'][$activityId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];
                    $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['activities'][$activityId]['days'][$dayId]['duration'] += $detail['duration'];
                }
            }
        }

        $currentUser = $this->getUser();

        $query = new CustomerQuery();
        $query->setCurrentUser($currentUser);
        $allCustomers = $this->customerRepository->getCustomersForQuery($query);

        $totalTime = 0;
        foreach($allCustomers as $customer){
            $stats = $this->customerRepository->getCustomerStatistics($customer);
            $totalTime += $stats->getRecordDuration();
        }

        $totalTravel = 1;

        // echo "<script>console.log(".json_encode( $totalTime ).");</script>";

        foreach($rows as $customer){
            $customerId = $customer['customer']->getId();
            $rows[$customerId]['duration_percent']  = number_format(($customer['duration'] / $totalTime) * 100, 2) ;
            $rows[$customerId]['travel_percent']    = number_format(($customer['travel'] / $totalTravel) * 100, 2) ;

            foreach($customer['projects'] as $project){
                $projectId = $project['project']->getId();
                $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['duration_percent']  = number_format(($project['duration'] / $totalTime) * 100, 2) ;
                $rows[$customerId]['projects'][$projectId]['travel_percent']    = number_format(($project['travel'] / $totalTravel) * 100, 2) ;
            }
        }
        
        return $rows;
    }

I also created a corresponding twig template and everything works as expected. Now my problem is, that besides the hours, I also want to display a custom field for travel length. I'm not familiar with PHP so I have trouble understanding where and how to access those fields. Since the timesheet records are accessed via a query I expected the custom fields to be included in the query results or that I could access the custom fields the same way but I wasn't able to find a way of doing that.

Could you please point me in the right direction?

We are using Kimai with the expense and custom fields plugins.
It would be great to have an expense custom field that enable our users to upload a receipt of their expense.

currently it's only possible to add datetime values, but only the time (like in Begin and End) is not possible.

The Expenses module is not really linked to the time and attendance input mask.
Idea: If the Expenses module is available in Kimai, automatically use another input mask in which the two relevant input fields for Expenses are also available and can be optionally filled.
This would greatly simplify the workflow for the user.

Recently I had to track down where a timesheet entry was coming from. I knew the audit trail plugin had this information somewhere but I couldn't find the corresponding audit trail entry.

In the end I could only find it by searching in the database for the timesheet id and look up the time of creation with that info in the audit trail plugin which I could filter then to find it in the audit trail web interface.

A simple connection somehow should be established to make it usable I think, also maybe number of changes or something showen in the timesheet.

Thank you very much for your development, it has been a really good tool so far!

Would be nice if its possible to make relationships between fields.

eg. Outside Meeting yes/no -> visibilty and need of duration of voyage and trip distance

Deutsch:
Feldabhängigkeiten, Mitarbeiter sagt war Einsatz war vor Ort- > dann muss er angeben die Reisezeit und Entfernung dahin. evtl sogar mit möglichkeit zu sagen Reisekosten durch Auftraggeber bezahlt

It would be useful to have rate multiplier for specific meta fileds, just like for week days.
I have a meta field for in presence/remote work. The hourly rate is different, but I cannot make a distinction.

It would be helpful, to sum Invoice items by task, similiar to the ExpensesBundle (ExpensesBundle/Invoice/Calculator).

Expected fields: startdate, task title, description of every timesheet item, duration (sum), total price

Es wäre toll, wenn man die zusätzliche(n) Spalte(n) "Kunde" und/oder "Projekt" in der Änderungshistorie einblenden kann, und auch nach diesen Spalten filtern kann. Derzeit ist es unübersichtlich, eine länger zurückliegende Änderung eines Timesheet-Eintrags bei einem bestimmen Kunden aufzufinden bzw. zu verifizieren:

Customer wish: extend choice-list so users can choose multi values.

The new ACL for MetaFields for visibility for certain roles is great.
It would be optimal if the right to write could be granted not dependend on the global rights for the window.
In this special case I would like to have some writable Metas in the first part of the project overview for ROLE_USER. Now the metas can be seen by user but not edited.

Optical solution:
Next to the definition field Access right (role) insert a check button for write right.

Ability to load custom items from external data source (preferably a JSON endpoint) would be great. Or at least allow the selection of a custom data separator.

There should be a new widget for teamleads, which shows all assigned tasks of team member.

I'd like to request new field types for unique values and consecutive numbers.

The idea behind is to be able to have e.g. unique ID's for projects that can be used to be referenced to (e.g. from an external tool).

Add new field type to capture the geo position.

Two flavors:

• one with no option to edit the detected position
• one that is changeable by the user?

What do we do with this data?
Simple longitude and latitude data is not human friendly.

Also having the custom column values entered in would be good. Or maybe there could be custom fields mapped for tasks alone
