VAKCER Project Tracker 2.6 Personal Edition is a unique application that
combines powerful time tracking technology, automatic and autonomous
operation with ease of use, user friendly interface, and great
reporting tools. Now you can track your time without distracting
yourself from the work you are doing.
VAKCER Project Tracker 2.6 includes the following
features:
Automatic applications/documents tracking. There's no
start/stop time buttons. VPT knows when you launch an
application or open a new document.
Recognizes almost 500 popular applications from word
processors, email clients and web browsers to advanced 3D
modeling, CAD/CAM and database applications. New applications
can be added later by installing corresponding TAL modules
released by VAKCER Corporation.
Independent billing rates for each application.
Differential rates. You can define more complex billing
methods than just constant rate. You can charge one amount for
first several hours or days, then another amount and so on. The
number of possible billing time intervals is unlimited.
Project Presets. You can define a set of applications and
corresponding billing rates in a preset and then use it later
each time you create a new project to speed up the project
creation process.
Custom Activities. You can add manually or have tracked any
other "non-computer" activities like phone calls,
consultations or even a coffee break. And adding a new activity
is as fast as two mouse clicks.
Additional project expenses. You can add any other expenses
(like delivery, or commercial printing).
Project Budget. You can define time and/or cost budget and VPT
will warn when you are running sort of time/money for the
project.
Client database. You can define several clients and assign
projects to them.
Export/Import client information. You can export/import client
information to share data between applications or different
computers. VPT can read/write Electronic Business Card (vCard)
format (*.vcf).
COM support. Create custom features with Visual Basic or other
programming language. Or use 3rd party plugins that available
for VPT.
Total control over project data. You can edit any project
record at any time.
Password protection for projects. Disable editing recorded
time for your employees by supplying a password for editing
projects.
Multiple projects open at a time. You can open several
projects and VPT will determine which applications will be
tracked in which project. You can drag and drop applications
and/or documents between projects easily.
Time is tracked on hourly basis. Time for each document or
custom activity is tracked on hourly basis, so it is possible to
get document time for last several hours, days or weeks.
Project Statistics. You can see which documents you were
working on during specific time period and for how long.
Project Reports. You can build extensive project reports and
save them to HTML format, then print them, send to your
customers or publish to web. There could be virtually unlimited
number of report types as the report information is fully
determined by the HTML template used to generate the report. You
can create your own templates and get reports customized to your
needs. VPT uses its own macro language to define custom data
processing routines in the project templates.
Unattended mode. A special feature that prevents tracking time
when the user is out from the computer.
