The Bill4Time product team releases new and enhanced features, system improvements, and bug fixes several times per week. Organized by month, the Release Notes blog series will highlight all the changes we’ve implemented, so you can easily stay up-to-date on what’s new. If you have a question, feedback, or an idea – please leave a comment below!
Take a look at what we’ve released this July:
Updated 7/27/2017
Invoice Batch Description – We’ve resolved a bug where the Batch Description field was not automatically populating when the select-all clients box was checked off.
Receive Payment Defaults – We have resolved a bug where the Project was not automatically populating in the New Payment window when creating the payment from within the project. This form is now properly populating with the client and project when creating the payment entry from within those pages.
Conflict Checker – We have implemented an additional field search for the Conflict Checker feature. This search will now scan through project-level addresses for possible matches.
Payment Pop-up (FireFox only) – We have implemented changes to the format and size of the payment pop-up window for FireFox users (other browsers were not affected). This pop-up should now open fully, with the section for applied in full view towards the bottom.
Balance Adjustment Pop-up (Chrome only) – We have implemented changes to how the Balance Adjustment pop-up window opens for Chrome users (other browsers were not affected). This window has been restored and should now open as an actual pop-up, instead of a new full page tab.
Updated 7/25/2017
Batch Invoice Numbers – When creating or editing an invoice batch, the batch will no longer overwrite the current invoice number of each invoice within the batch – unless a Starting Number is set or updated.
Conflict Checker – We have implemented an additional field search for the Conflict Checker feature. This search will now scan through client-level addresses for possible matches.
Updated 7/20/2017
Trust Balance Summary – We have updated the formatting for negative trust balances. Although in a practical sense these trust balances do not normally become negative, we’ve updated the formatting to better reflect a debit v. credit trust balance to clarify the running totals and bring this formatting into alignment with the operating accounting summary pages.
Updated Mobile Apps – The Bill4Time team is thrilled to announce a major enhancements to our iOS and Android apps. The latest version of the app has taken mobile time-tracking to a new level by introducing some great new features as well as improving on the actions you take most when you do your everyday tracking.

Updated 7/18/2017
Project ID when using Invoice Summary – We have resolved an issue that prevented the Project ID line from appearing when using the Invoice Summary feature. Following this change, the Project ID will appear regardless of the template design or if the Invoice Summary feature is enabled.
Invoice Template Preview – Our developers have improved the functionality of the Invoice Template Preview tab. This tab will now more accurately reflect the options selected under the Content tab of the Invoice Template Editor, allowing for a better preview of your formatted billing template prior to saving.
Styling Fixes – We’ve implemented a few updates to the system that improve the organization and streamline the use of features for users with smaller monitors (the vast majority of users will not be affected). No major functionality changes, however you may see slightly different placement of buttons and other clickable items throughout the system.
Updated 7/13/2017 (posted 7/14)
Invoice Status Report Update – We’ve implemented a new checkbox option within the box for Filters that, when enabled, will cause the report to include a column for Project IDs.
Contacts New/Edit Screen – No functionality change, but we have adjusted the formatting of the Add New and Edit Contact pages to make these fields a bit easier to read and work through.
Project Invoice Presets – We have resolved a bug that was displaying the client’s email address on invoices when the Project-level Invoice Presets were to override this email address using the one entered at the Project-level. Invoices will now reflect the Project’s ‘Bill To’ email address whenever this override is enabled.
Updated 7/11/2017
Trust Report Update – We have updated the report to remove a redundant column listing the client’s name. The client’s name will still appear in the usual headings and totals, there’s no change to the main functionality of the report. We’ve also added the Account Number next to the Bank Name.
WIP Summary Report Update – Based on user feedback, we’ve updated this report to include a column for Billable Hours.
Activity Type Report Update – We have removed the distinction between Unassigned and Not Specified activity types in this report. Previously, these were grouped separately, and now will display together.
Updated 7/6/2017
New! WIP Summary Report – We’ve just release a totally new report that allows you to quickly pull all of your Work-In-Progress (WIP). This report will now include all of your time entries that do not already appear on a finalized bill.
Support Site Overhaul – We have completely overhauled the Bill4Time Support website. The support page is now much easier to navigate and more accurately displays suggested answers to the most frequently asked questions. Along with this redesign, we’ve implemented more robust community features that allow our Support team to better track and respond to feature requests, questions, and comments.
Activity Type Report Update – We have updated this report to better categorize entries that do not have an assigned Activity Type. Previously, entries made via mobile app that did not have an Activity Type were categorized under ‘Null’ in this report. They will now appear under ‘Unassigned’ which is the grouping used for entries created via web that do not have an assigned Activity Type.
Inactivity Report – No functionality change with this report, but we have relocated it to under the gray Entry & User tab.
Invoice Email Report – No functionality change with this report, but we have relocated it to under the gray Accounting tab.
This post will be periodically updated throughout the month to reflect new releases.
