Scheduled Maintenance

admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 12:42:52 +0000

The Paymo system has scheduled maintenance on Saturday morning, August 14, 2010, for the servers that run the Paymo backend.

This maintenance window is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m CET (Europe) or 5 a.m EDT (US). This work will require a system reboot which will cause a downtime of 15 to 30 minutes during which your Paymo account will not function.

Anyone using the Paymo widget will be able to track time, the entries will be saved locally and they will be synced online once the system is up and running.

If you have any questions please contact us!

Email Invoices & Custom Tabs

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:38:04 +0000

We have two new cool features that we hope you’ll find useful:

you can email invoices to your clients directly from Paymo. As a result we have two new invoice statuses Sent and Viewed. If an invoice has the viewed status it means your client clicked on the invoice permalink and saw your invoice.
Custom Tabs allow you to add your custom tabs to the Paymo interface. Just navigate to a often used section in Paymo and click on the “+” icon in the navbar. It will popup a form that will allow you to name your custom tab which will be linked to the section you’re on (alternatively you can manually add a internal relative URL to the Link field)

Let us know if you have any questions!

File Uploads – now in beta!

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 09:23:58 +0000

We’re excited to announce an oft-requested feature, the ability to upload files to your Paymo projects. The basic file management features are all there in this beta release, however we plan on adding a bunch of cool new features that will make your project management process a breeze. To access the Files module you need to open up a project and click on the Files menu.

There are two ways of adding files to your projects:

by clicking on the Files menu item
by adding/editing tasks. Each task can be associated with one or more files which you or your team will be able to directly download from the tasks page

While the new module is in beta it will be free of charge for anyone using it, the only limitation is the 50MB storage space.

Starting today you can backup all the data in your Paymo account to a XML file that you can download to your computer. To do this you will need to go to the Company Settings page and look for the Backups section in the right hand column of the page.

The backup file will be in XML format and will include the following data:

company
users
clients
projects
task lists
tasks
time entries
milestones

Existing backup files will be kept in the system for a period of 30 days.

Fresh out of the lab

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:36:53 +0000

We’re excited to bring you some new features that will make your life easier and most probably will improve your productivity.

So, what’s new?

There are a couple of changes that you’ll see right away, like the new main nav bar. We’ve grouped together similar nav items and slightly separated them in order to make them easier to spot and click.

Due to the expanding feature set the Projects and Invoicing tabs now have a second level nav. The Invoices and Expenses modules are now grouped together under the new Invoicing tab.

The dashboard has some new additions too, like late & upcoming milestones and a recent activity log that will help managers to get an overview on what’s happening in the company.

We’ve also re-worked the Projects section by adding the following features:

milestones – you can now set clear goals for each project and get a big picture view by checking the new Milestones tab for late and upcoming milestones
assign user to task – one of the most requested features by our users is now live – you can assign tasks to employees
task due date – in addition to assigning a task to an user, you can now set a due date for any task
inline editing for task lists – easily edit task lists inline without page reloads
project overview page – each project has it’s own overview page, it will show you your upcoming milestones, project stats and recent activity within the project

Latest updates

The Paymo Team — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:10:29 +0000

Some of the most requested features you’ve been asking for are now live:

time entry rounding is now available in the Reports and Invoicing modules, very useful for people billing in increments
you can now set custom billing rates per employee
you can now set an invoice language that is independent of the user settings
you can now retire user accounts and keep their data without the need to upgrade to more users
many of you wanted a smaller version of the widget that takes up less space on the desktop/dashboard. You can now easily switch from the big widget to a light-weight version with the click of a button.
if you put your computer to sleep or hibernate you’ll no longer have problems with the timer, it will stop automatically
you can configure the invoice numbering system even more, you can set the invoice count variable to [iiii] and it will be formatted like 0001
clicking your logo in the widget opens up your management interface in a new browser window.
when you start the widget, the last project you worked on is automatically selected

More cool stuff is brewing in the lab, stay tuned.
