Hi Tony,

Thanks for the suggestions! It sounds like most of your comments involve improved flexibility with your data. This is something we're really keen to do, and it's going to be a priority for us in the coming weeks.

Our philosophy involves giving you the tools to be able to order and sort the data in anyway you want, so we'll be introducing the ability to filter projects by active/complete, or see only overdue invoices from the last 6 months for example.

We'll be rolling out this functionality across the app a section at a time, so expect to see some changes for the better in coming releases.

Your point about completed project in the time slips drop down is a good one too, and we'll take this on board.

Hi guys, any more development on your own freshbooks style timer? I'm still using my freshbooks clock to track my time and then put the timeslips in manually into FA. No offence to Timepost but I just don't want to fork out any more money on addons. If I was able to work out the API I would build my own Flash clock for FA in a browser popup (Freshbooks style) or AIR app. and even donate it if you were interested. Any pointers for getting started with the API and Flash?

Hi James,

Yep, we're planning on introducing a company "filing cabinet" where you can upload any type of document you wish, as well as manage existing expense receipts etc.

I can't give you an exact ETA on this, but it shouldn't be too long.

Great to hear. Thanks Roan.

Hi Tom,

We're very keen to do this. It's just a bit of a struggle finding time with all the other features we're working on at the moment.

Rest assured though, we'll be rolling this functionality out across FreeAgent in due course, so you'll be able to filter and sort all kinds of data tables.

A comment on the question "Using FreeAgent Central for Personal Finance Managment?" in FreeAgent Central:

Thank you for the quick reply Ronan. I have to agree with you that the UK is indeed completely undeserved. I can only think of one company that offers a service anything like it - and my experiences with them have been terrible. Anyhow, keep up the good work with FreeAgent! – Alex Bolton, on September 03, 2008 15:10

Hi Alex,

You're absolutely right, FreeAgent is really just designed for managing business finances and that'll remain it's focus going forward.

If we were to look at this area, and it's completely underserved in the UK at the minute, it would certainly be a new product.

It's not something we've got planned in the short term, but who knows what the future holds. It could certainly compliment FreeAgent.

Hi Naren,

I think you might want customer support for another application.

We're here for FreeAgent and not Timeslips.

Best of luck!

Hi Brenda,

While FreeAgent staff are busy adding necessary accounting features, we are committed to providing you with an ideal time tracking solution. Our sole focus is on time management, which allows us to add niche features that may never be available through a web application. We pay attention to all our customers and continuously add new features, services, and platforms that they demand.

Roan replied on August 07, 2008 08:59 to the discussion "Thorough Time Tracking - will it ever appear?" in FreeAgent Central:

Hi Brenda,

While we won't rule anything out, time tracking like that provided by Timepost, isn't on our immediate roadmap.

I'll write a little more about this on a Central post later, but it's tricky balancing act responding to feature requests while still trying to keep the software simple and easy to use for everybody.

Looking through GetSatisfaction you'll see so many other great ideas that people would like to see from FreeAgent, and we just don't have enough time in the day to do all of these right now.

So for the moment we feel that the level of time tracking within FAC is good enough for most freelancers. If you do need more than this, and of course some people do, then there's Timepost, which is, as you say, very reasonably priced.

Our Time Tracking will undoubtedly improve as time goes on, but for now we're concentrating on other areas of the application, making big improvements that will benefit everybody.

Sorry, it's not exactly the answer you're looking for, but hopefully it explains our reasoning.

Not to rain on the Timepost parade, it's a very nice widget, but does this mean FA isn't going to pursue developing its own? It's a little disappointing to have to pay extra (I know, I know... it's only $39 US) for functionality that should really be included in FA as standard.

Rest assured you're not dumb -- we gave FreeAgent a tiny tweak last night to resolve a small teething problem ;-)

Let us know how you get on with Timepost

Today it seems to work. Maybe it was fixed, maybe I was dumb.

Great news guys! Looks great and thanks for all the effort on this.

I have registered my trial account and downloaded the trial Timepost and the timeslip posting works very well!

However, and please bare with me here as I'm unfamiliar with FreeAgent at the moment and could be wrong, can someone do some checks for me because I'm finding that individual timeslip enteries posted from Timpost will not Invoice.

I can add a manual timeslip and it'll invoice straight away but the Timepost one's are completely ignored.

Thanks.

That's great news Mark.

Thanks for all your hard work, and I'm sure FreeAgent users will appreciate it. I know I will.

Great looking new site btw
