You can now export your timesheet reports to a .pdf format. Those PDF-Reports look much nicer and can be shared directly dropbox or email.
This additional module for Xpert-Timer Mobile is available from today on, if you’ve purchased the App at Google Play. In order to purchase, open the menu in your Xpert-Timer main dialog, point to Help/Info and choose “Purchase PDF-Reporing”.

Version 3.0 has been released successfully for quite a while now. Here’s a quick overview of the software and a couple of new functions.
Xpert-Timer focuses on timing tasks on projects for internal cost calculation or for billing your clients. Projects / Tasks are easily created and can be started or stopped on the floating timebar.
Working in a project team
As soon as more than one person is working on the same projects it’s hard to keep track of the billable hours. In this case Xpert-Timer is the perfect solution. All members of the team can book their times on the projects simultaneously. This way you can create reports of all team members over a certain period of time. Timestamps can be added manually later in the day or you can use the start/stop mechanism of the program.
This is an expample of a timestamp list created during one working day.
Is your project running out of time?
Using the project manager, you can easily see, if a project is running out of hands, timewise. If you own the access rights, you can see the list of employees working on the project and the total time they have already spent on a certain project. In our screenshot you can see that the estimated time of 275 hours for the project “Planning” has been used up to 88%. You yourself spent 94 hours and 40 minutes on the project, while the whole project team has spent 244 hours 24 minutes. You can filter your projects by the “Time used in %” to get a quick overview of the projects running out of time.
To-Do List in Xpert-Timer
The new version has a powerful To-Do list integrated. Xpert-Timer helps you to organize and plan your times in order to accomplish your most important goals as soon as possible. Organize your projects for example by categorizing them or grouping the tasks by priority. This way you can stay focused on what’s really important to do. In version 3 of Xpert-Timer you can now start and stop a task of your To-Do list. This way you can estimate a task and then compare the estimate with the total time you really needed.
Access rights
The visibility of the projects of other users as well as prices, addresses and other critical information is set in the User Management of Xpert-Timer. There you can limit the visibility of certain areas the way you need them. Germany is very strict upon these visibilities, so I think we’ve covered everything.
Assign certain access rights to users
Time tracking on the run
Version 3.0 also supports the synchronization with your Xpert-Timer Mobile App for Android. You can track time on your mobile device and synchronize the data with the main database in your office. To every timestamp you can add a comment and a location, if you activate GPS on your system. The synchronization between the Windows and Android version requires an interface (XTSyncServer) in order to exchange data. All products are available for purchase at http://www.xperttimermobile.com
Mobile time tracking on an Android Device
A great advantage of Xpert-Timer is, that it is realy easy to use. Especially the Basic version is easy for even the most novice computer users to use. It’s an ideal asset for all kinds of businesses, from freelancers, lawyers, repair technicians and accountants as well as all types of major enterprises.
