Project Templates, a new offset field, column visibility, clipboard patterns and much more in R11!
Project Templates
Keeping Time now has a new project type: Project templates are just like regular projects in their capabilities, but opening one will ask you to make a copy. You can use this to have often-used projects at the ready and quickly create a new project based on that template! You can find some factory templates, as well as your own, in the re-designed Welcome Center.
Offset Field
All lists have a new field: The offset will add or subtract a certain value to the entry. This is useful for subtracting a break from the regular work hours, or to add extra time for weekend work that is paid double. Offsets are available both timeliests and unitlists.
Custom Column Visibility
Along with this new field, there's also now a new area in the list window to configure the visibility of columns and adjust their order. This is per list, so you can customise it to your liking!
Clipboard Patterns
When copying an entry to the clipboard, you can now use a custom pattern. The new Clipboard Settings window lets you set an export pattern using regular text and placeholder tokens that is saved per list, or globally for all lists. This makes the export very useful for reporting times to clients, for example.
Password Protection, Window Size/Position per Project, and much more…
R11 has many more new features and additions, including the ability to set passwords to open and/or edit the project. You can save the window size and position for every project individually, so every project will open at its unique location. A lot of other small tweaks have been made - give it a try!

Easier template creation and better value checking in R8 Update 2!
R8 Update 2 brings two new small features:
The colour associated with a particular list is now visible next to the project colour when the list properties are closed - this makes it easier to tell open lists apart.
Also, adding new templates has become much easier, by letting you do it directly in Manage Project with a nifty "Add" button.
On the reliability side, KT will now better check entered values for the right format and simply will not let you enter wrong info in a lot of places :)

Entry templates, new Welcome Center and more in R8
This is KT's biggest update under the hood so far, bringing some big QoL changes and fixes across all areas.
Entry Templates
Often-used entries can now be saved as a template so you can make a similar entry later. Of course these can be exchanged between projects. This saves a lot of time when you have repeated similar entries.
Revamped Welcome Center
The Welcome Center has received a big facelift and feature update. Now you can view the properties of a project, including all its lists by just selecting a recent project. An * denotes the active list(s).
Project Colour and hidden Project Controller
You've been able to assign a colour to any list for a while - now the same is possible with a project! Use colours to tell your projects apart, to mark different categories for projects, etc.
The Project Controller can now be hidden, so if you want, all you see is a single list!
Miscellaneous QoL Changes
- When you load a file from an older version, KT will now offer to make a backup of the file before upgrading the project.
- All input fields look a lot nicer now, with the added benefit of better value checking.
- You can view the Changelog and License directly from the About box
- And last, but not least, KT will warn you if you try to open the same project twice.
There are tons more little tweaks and fixes across all areas of the application - the upgrade is highly recommended!
