From updated time review screens and enhanced daily reports to an improved integration, read up on what’s new and get some helpful tips and tricks along the way.
Feature Update
New time review screens
It’s easier than ever to review, approve, and enter hours in Raken. We’ve added summary views for admins and supervisors who review time in bulk, grid views for reviewing the week’s time for attendance and daily hour totals, a new entry view, and a simpler way to review sign-offs, approvals, and issues.
Feature Update
New production section option in daily report
Now you have the option of adding a "Production" section to your daily report. If you are tracking time and materials to budgets in Raken, this will help you monitor your efficiency. This new section will include: materials and cost codes, hours, quantities, efficiency, percent completion, and projected hours.
You’ll also continue to have access to the "Material Quantity" section of the daily report. You can select your options under Project Templates > Daily Reports > Production, or under Project > Settings > Daily Report. Read this article for details on how to customize your daily reports.
Integration Update
Viewpoint Vista + Raken equipment import
Users of both Viewpoint Vista and Raken will now be able to automatically import equipment and fleet records from Vista to Raken, eliminating the need for double entry. Paired with Raken's recent upgrades to equipment management, this new feature will help Vista clients better track fleet location, performance, maintenance, and more.
Feature Update
Enhanced resource scheduling capabilities
Following the release of our resource scheduling feature last month, which simplifies shift and labor planning, we've continued to build on and improve this feature. Now, you can select a toggle to choose whether or not to send notifications to employees when creating or updating a shift.
Notifications can now also include details such as shift titles and project address—all helping you clear the noise and get the right information across.
