v0.12.7: Multi-day time slot selection and time-tracking-only mode

👤 Ton Kersten

WarmDesk v0.12.18 brings two improvements to the contracts and deployment story.

Multi-day contract time slot selection

The day-type dropdown on contract time slots is replaced by a compact row of seven day-toggle buttons:

Day-toggle buttons Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su

You can now select any combination of days in a single slot. Previously, a standby schedule like Mon–Thu 19:00 → next morning 07:00 required four separate identical slots (one per day). Now it is one slot with Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu toggled on.

A Friday-to-Monday overnight slot (Fri 19:00 → Mon 07:00, Ends after: 3 days) is a second slot with only Friday selected. The full on-call week is covered in two slots instead of five.

Selections that match a preset normalise automatically:

  • All seven days → all

  • Mon–Fri → weekdays

  • Sat–Sun → weekends

  • Any other combination is stored as a comma-separated list and displayed as abbreviated day names (e.g. Mo, Tu, We, Th) in the rates overview.

--mode=timetracking server flag

Start the server with --mode=timetracking (or set APP_MODE=timetracking) to run a stripped instance that serves only time-tracking functionality:

./warmdesk --mode=timetracking

The flag is designed for teams that run a full WarmDesk deployment for boards and chat, and want a separate lightweight instance — pointing at the same database — for colleagues who only need to log and report time.

What is disabled

At the API level, the following route groups are not registered at all:

  • Project boards, columns, cards, sprints, epics, topics, project chat

  • Direct messages and group conversations

  • Helpdesk tickets and inbox

  • Global search, card reference resolver, link preview

  • Webhooks and the CI/CD ticket API

  • Admin project CRUD, SLA policies, macros, ticket checklist templates, IMAP configuration

What the UI looks like

The frontend reads app_mode from GET /version before the first render, so there is no flash of unwanted content:

  • The sidebar is hidden entirely — no project list, no customer list, no chat sections.

  • The search bar is removed from the header.

  • Nav links for Dashboard, Messages, and Time Tracking are removed (you are already on the time-tracking page).

  • The landing page redirects directly to /time-tracking.

  • The admin panel hides the Projects, SLA, Macros, and Ticket Checklists tabs.

All user management, customer and contract management, time entries, and report exports remain fully functional.
