Additional Modules
Task Manager™
Task Manager™ provides a centralised task management resource for your business. It allows project managers to allocate tasks to staff across the Intranet/Internet. Task Manager™ differs from standard e-mail in that e-mail relies on feedback from the employee. With Task Manager™, management simply reviews the assigned task and work completed to-date, to determine the status of the assigned task. All tasks are colour-coded to assist in visually identifying the status of a task simply. From the employee perspective, the task 'lands' on his/her desktop and entering time against the task is simple with virtually all of the data entry supplied with the task. All the employee needs to do is record the date and the amount of time spent on the task and add a note, if appropriate. We can also add the facility for a client to add a task (or tasks) to Task Manager and to be able to review progress on these, and only these tasks - all online. Task Manager™ is a fully integrated option for Sage Coretime.
Task Tracker
Would you like your clients to be able to assign Project Tasks to your organisation, or a particular department within your organisation? And then to be able to get feedback on those tasks without having to revert to e-mailing or telephoning you? Task Tracker is the solution. So how does it work? First, you must be running Sage Coretime with Task Manager installed. Second, your web server should be connected permanently to the internet. Once the Task Tracker is installed, your clients can, via the Internet and using three levels of password access, create new tasks or review progress on existing tasks for their projects and their projects only. All your client will see are the tasks associated with their company, the status on these tasks, and details of time entries made against these tasks. They do not see any values of time or any financial information whatsoever on their projects or tasks. They cannot access any other part of the Sage Coretime program or any other client data for the overall benefit of the Coretime community. Licensing is based on a single site license.
Staff Planner
The Staff Planner module allows a Scheduler to allocate staff to upcoming projects dynamically. It uses a simple wall planner type interface. Users simply click and drag to allocate staff to projects. The staff then reviews their scheduler to ascertain what assignment they have been scheduled to work on. Recording time against the scheduled assignment couldn't be easier, with the client and project details already pre-entered for the employee. Staff Planner is a fully integrated option for Sage Coretime.
