Pacific Timesheet Update

Version 4.0 Build 11, February 15, 2005

This page documents all feature enhancements and bug fixes included in the Pacific Timesheet 4.0 update. For information on changes made in previous versions of Pacific Timesheet, please see the release notes archive.

New Features

1. Full Unicode Support.

Pacific Timesheet now supports the Unicode character set, which means characters from all languages can be entered and displayed in the product. This applies to timesheet comments and notes, project and task names, etc.

2. New Security/Permissions Architecture.

Permissions are more fine-grained now. You can now assign employees/groups to any major object in the system, including pay codes, projects, tasks, etc. This is especially useful for larger organizations where you want to limit access based on divisions within the organization.

3. Multiple Time Periods.

Multiple time periods are now supported, including biweekly, semi-monthly and monthly. Each time period can have its own starting day of the week (Sunday, Monday, etc.).

4. Employee First and Last Day.

Employees now have first and last day properties. Employees will be barred from entering time outside of this period, even if their profile is still active.

Enhancements and Fixes

5. Date Format Fix.

Fixed issue in which dates for Asian locales were formatted using United States date format.

6. Faster Import/Export.

Importing and exporting objects (Employees, Tasks, etc.) is now up to twice as fast due to a new caching architecture.
