TIP: We invite you to learn about this solution below, and once you are ready, to then proceed here.
Our Enterprise Stopwatch solution can improve and expand your users’ adoption of Workfront by making it simple and convenient for everyone to track time from their browser, tablet, or smart phone, as the work occurs.
To use it…
Enterprise Stopwatch is an intuitive browser-based tool that makes capturing time in Workfront fast and easy. Once you log in, you are presented with a simple list of your own tasks and issues across multiple projects. Simply click on an item to start recording time. A second click stops recording and automatically creates a corresponding timesheet entry in Workfront.
Enterprise Stopwatch includes both a 30 Day trial and an optional Chrome Plugin, too, keeping it ever at the ready, which our clients assure us was a “Game Changer” for those being asked to track their time in Workfront.
Enterprise Stopwatch includes a number of new and upcoming features:
- It is SSO compatible (ie. by using the API key to log time “on behalf” of the end user)
- It allows Workfront users with the (free) Reviewer license to record time (which is something they can’t do within Workfront)
- It has improved stability (e.g. keeps ticking and tries to recover, even if the internet blips in and out)
- It detects and warns of multiple instances (e.g. if a user uses more than one machine to run it at the same time)
- It allows for a new “max time” setting (e.g. 8 hours) after which any Stopwatch Task still running is automatically stopped
- It can be configured to run in a “one click” mode (no login) – perfect for iPhones, but useful on desktops, too
- It includes a new audit mechanism that makes it possible to detect and then correct Stopwatch hours not properly closed out
- It allows real time reporting on which Issues and Tasks are currently being Stopwatched (e.g. a “shop floor” view of the work)
- It integrates with our (soon to be public) Timesheet solution (which, similarly, users with Reviewer licenses can use)
- It includes a Chrome Store plugin that is ALSO SSO compatible
- It allows quick entry of comments, which then appear on the Updates tab in Workfront
- It will allow users to enter descriptions on each hour entry
- It can be configured to allow time tracking at the Project level
- It can be configured to allow time tracking on Personal Tasks
- NEW! It can be configured to search and display the Parent Task for context on commonly named tasks
- NEW! It can be configured to return all Projects (including those with just “Contribute” access) for Project level time tracking
- NEW! It can be optionally also licensed for your Sandbox environment (e.g. yourdomain.sb01.workfront.com) for testing and/or training purposes
- COMING SOON! Our next release will allow users to track time Automatically IN Workfront as they navigate among your Projects, Tasks, and Issues WITHIN Workfront (see video)
We invite you to trial our new Enterprise Stopwatch for 30 days to see if it’s a fit.
If you use a Username / Password to log into Workfront…
Great news: you can try and/or license Enterprise Stopwatch completely independently!
Or if you use Single Sign On (SSO) to log into Workfront…
The Stopwatch trial might not be compatible with certain Single Sign On (SSO) configurations (i.e. you might be unable to login). In such cases, it is often possible to “launch” it from a dashboard within Workfront using the following instructions:
- Create a new Dashboard
- Call it “Stopwatch”
- Click the + Add External Page link (bottom right)
- Set Name = Launch
- Set URL = https://www.atappstore.com/client/enterprise-stopwatch?u={!$$USER.ID}&d=[YourDomain].my.workfront.com&sid={!$$SESSION}
- Set Height = 500
- Save
- Share it with those users who need it (e.g. trial for now, everyone later)
With that dashboard created, once you navigate within Workfront to it, Enterprise Stopwatch should “launch” in its own window, noting that you might need to allow it as a pop-up in your browser, and might also be requested to log in separately (although typically “once” is sufficient, as it will thereafter “remember”).
NOTE: In certain SSO configurations (or for clients who would like to have users with Requestor licenses record their own time), we’ve also needed to set up an API Key within Workfront, too, in which case we would be happy to schedule a call with you in which to do so. If you need further assistance with SSO, please email us for more details.
And if you use Adobe Admin Console to log into Workfront…
There are a number of steps involved, so we’ve created a guide:
