Daily schedules

From now on you can create schedules in the Daily schedules menu. After defining the period, select whether you’d like to add the schedule for every day or only for the workdays within the given period. You can decide whether you’d like to add the same schedule for every day (Daily) or give them separately for the week (Weekly). Select whether the given day (or period) is a workday (with working time) or not and if it is done in or out of the office. After that set the interval of the schedule and mark if it will be overtime or not. If you’d like to add multiple schedules for the same day, click on the + icon at the end of each row. As soon as you’re finished with adding the schedules, don’t forget to click on the Add button.

Setting up the deletion of inactive time in the beginning and at the end of the workday in the Default settings menu

In the future inactive time in the beginning or at the end of the day will not be deleted automatically, except for companies who do not have a logout or an ad-hoc window triggered by inactivity. You can configure these inactive times to be automatically deleted Default settings / Working hours. (End-of-day inactivity is defined as the inactive desktop time after the last desktop activity, unless there was any other type of registered working time. Beginning of the day inactivity is defined as the inactive time when there is no desktop activity after login until the first active PC time.

Daily expected work time history

In the Default settings/Working hours/Daily working time you can follow and edit the changes made for the daily expected working hours of the individual users. It enables the management of part time works (4, 6, 8 hours) and irregular hours in the system.

Extended data management at daily schedule

If the schedule management module is activated, in the daily schedules you can already add multiple schedules to a single user, e.g.: you can schedule extra hours on a given day in addition to the regular working hours. You can manage the types of schedules to Daily Schedules in the Default Settings /Working Hours / Manageable worktime schedule related data menu.

Simplified management for the new user and suspended accounts

In case of a new user the administrator can enter the date of the first working day, so the activation letter will be automatically sent that day at dawn. In the same way, it is possible to add the last working day of a user, after which the system will automatically put the user on a suspended status, who will no longer be able to sign in.

New „read only” and „edit” rights introduced at the report settings

In the future, in the Default Settings / Permissions section, you will have the option to customize who can access reports. If you want the users to only be able to download reports that cannot be edited, you can set this in Download reports in read-only mode.

New productivity analytics design

Based on the feedbacks, we re-designed the structure of the Performance Analysis and Performance Summary Reports to make them more ergonomic and to enhance the user experience of JC360 users.

Permissions upgraded at Leave category management

Disable website access

In the Permissions settings, you will be able to control the ability for individual users to access the web based management site of JC360. This feature is useful if you are using the system in automatic mode and you want to avoid user access to data and configuration features.

v147 (8/17/2016)

The calculation of the daily work time has been changed

We have adjusted the calculation of the daily work time to the 0-24 hours calendar based cycle. Until now the daily hours were calculated by time spans 3 am - 3 am. This technical change may affect only those users whose shift extended over midnight (eg 18-02). Until now their hours were shown as continuous activity on the daily time sheet, and from now they are broken into 2 sessions in the calendar based grouping of daily hours. Tasks started before midnight but finished after that are not divided but shown in the daily report when the activity began. From now on every task that started after midnight are shown in the relevant daily reports. Time balances or weekly, monthly totals are unaffected by this change.

v141 (7/12/2016)

Reports

We have made our reporting service even more simple. On the very same page you can not only define your custom report and save it to your favorite reports, but you can also set up the automated delivery without navigating to the Scheduled reports menu. On the top of the report page you can find the combined list of your favorite and scheduled reports.

We have improved the usability of the offline work requests and the approval process with new features. From now on meetings can be requested and approved from any status. Besides, users can also delete their registered working time in any status and the deleted periods are available only for the users who deleted them. These changes result that from now on users need no revoke or delete failed meetings since they can be edited, deleted or requested again in one step.

We have also extended the group of users who are authorized to approve offline working time. From now on project leaders can also access the request module and they can approve those offline time requests which come from project members and the time to be approved belong to their projects. Group leaders can approve any requests from their group members, however they still have limited visibility on those tasks whose project is not assigned to them. We have also built in an automated list of the last 10 offline time requests so that they can be easily reviewed by the authorized users.

v107 (12/10/2015)

We have unified the new user, new task and new assignment pop-up windows. The new default view contains only the mandatory fields which must be filled. To display the advanced settings click on the „Show all fields” link at the top of the pop-up. The main change is that the fields are organized in two columns in the new screens and they got identical structure. The access level setting has also changed and now you can edit them with a switch button. The activation of new users was also slightly modified and the Save and Activate buttons are replaced with checkboxes to select if you would like to activate or suspend the account after saving. If you do not select the „activation mail” sending then you can also set the password for that account. Remember that in this case the user will not receive an email notification about his new account. If you select the „activation mail” sending option then the user will receive the link where he can set the password for his account.

v56 (4/22/2015)

Defining rules for multiple windows

Starting from the 16th of April, rules can be defined by the content of multiple windows. Thereby it becomes possible to specify the task on which the users’ are working by more complex and accurate rules.

Reachable task details from the notification window

The task appearing in the client application’s notification window becomes clickable, thereby the task’s details become accessible by a simple click. The task’s details can be modified easily and the task itself can be closed.

Approval of offline work time

From the 16th of April we’re launching the approval procedure of offline work times (ad-hoc and Calendar meetings). By enabling this function it becomes possible to bind these worktimes to an approval of the supervisor – as it is done with holidays and work time modifiations. It is possible to filter the elements of the Calendar meetings whether we’d like them to be approved or not.

What’s new page

For tracking the new features and changes of JC360® we’ve created the What’s new page which is accessible from the web application by clicking on the icon found on the upper right corner. All of our users will be notified about the changes and new features on this page.

How to start

  • The desktop application is an integrated part of JC360® which, in active status, documents work activity and records the active times spent on tasks and projects in order to create reports and detailed analytics about individual and corporate performances.

    If you have not downloaded and installed the desktop application yet then you can do it by choosing Install JC360® applications from the dropdown next to your name on the upper right corner and after selecting the application you prefer.

    You can start or stop the application with a double click (with the left mouse button) on the icon (). (The system considers the IP address at registration as office network so it will show "Working in office" status if any user is connected to the internet from that address. Connection from any other address will be marked as "Working outside the office" status. If you find an error in the statuses shown, we suggest you to doublecheck the IP address settings in the Company networks menu () and modify them if necessary.)

    For your convenience the default setup is automated task generation and automated task switching, which further reduces the manual task administration. As long as the automated task generation and task switching mode is active it overwrites the manual task selection. You can make automated task documentation even more precise with setting up personal rules.

    You can switch off automated task switching mode any time in the Default settings menu () or by CTRL + double click on the desktop application icon (). It enables manual task selection until unlocking this feature the same way.

  • By default we have created a user group with you as the only member.

    To add more co-workers go to the Configure and Manage/Users, user groups settings/User accounts (). Here you can add more users in two ways: add them one by one by clicking on the new user icon or you can upload a complete group or organization with the downloadable Excel template.

    In the user hierarchy you can also move user groups and users in the batch with the "Mass move" icon.

  • All registered work is always linked to a specific task. So for accurate work administration you have to create the tasks that the users can work on in the Configure and Manage/Project, task/General data () menu. By default we have created 5 tasks (Administration, E-mail handling, JC360 Administration, Meeting, Break) from which you can already choose to register your work. When you create more new projects or tasks add its period, priority, target cost and estimated time.

    At the same time of adding new projects or tasks in the pop-up you can also assign them to your coworkers at the "Project members" or in the "Assignment" section.

  • You can achieve maximum accuracy in documenting work time with the automated task switch and logout features. You can easily set up automated rules with keywords in the Keyword based rules () menu.

    The system is capable to recognize keywords in the To, From or Subject line of the emails, in the title or the process name of the active applications, in the address bar (URL) of the browser or in Office document file names and file paths.

    Task switching rules apply to all users assigned to the tasks, while logout rules can be assigned to individual users, as well.

  • If you need to find out which of your coworkers are active, who are in the office or where the mobile users are then select the Real-time activity () menu. On this page you can see the continually updated statuses of users, including work locations (office, home or mobile position) and the latest daily work time statistics, the progress of their tasks, their work documented with the mobile application and the documented screenshots connected to their work on the computer.

    You can apply filters to focus only for a selected group of users or activity data.

  • The active time with tasks, applications, documents, e-mails or websites which are set as productive compared to the total registered work time. In case of desktop time only the active time is used for calculation. (Active time is when desktop keyboard activity is not interrupted with breaks longer than the given report parameter.)

  • In the Dashboard menu you can get a real time insight to the reports you’re the most interested in.

    You can see the following informations on the widgets: activities of the employees, their worktime of the previous days, their application usage and internet browsing. You can check their worktime balance and productive worktime on computer.

    As from the Reports menu, you can download the reports from here as well. You can add your favorite reports to your dashboard besides the default widgets.

  • On the Analyze and improve/Reports () page we have collected a variety of report templates to create your own statistics from the vast amount of work data collected by the applications. The reports are arranged into four groups according to their contents: Primary data reports, Activity reports, Aggregate business reports, Executive reports.

    You can save any of your customized report settings by adding them to your Favourite reports. You can also set up automated delivery for your favourite reports. This way you can access the latest statistics also from your mailbox in accordance with your report delivery settings.
