v0.16.1: A drag-and-drop calendar for time tracking
The Log Time tab has always been a weekly grid — rows of customer/project/activity, columns of days, hours typed into cells. It’s precise, but it doesn’t give you a feel for when in the day your time actually went. v0.16.0 added a second way to see and edit the same data: a calendar.
A calendar for Log Time
Click the new 📅 button in the Log Time toolbar, right next to the macro editor, and the weekly grid switches to a day-by-day calendar. Every logged entry with a start and end time shows up as a block positioned at the actual time of day it happened; anything without a time sits in a small Unscheduled strip above the grid instead of disappearing.
From there it behaves like a calendar app should:
Drag a block to move it to a different day or time — the duration is preserved.
Drag its top or bottom edge to resize it, changing the start or end time independently.
Right-click a block for an Edit/Delete menu, or right-click an empty slot to create a new entry there.
Click and drag across an empty range to create a new entry pre-filled with exactly that start and end time — a plain click falls back to a default one-hour entry.
Zoom in or out with the
−/+buttons to control how much of the day is visible at once; your zoom level is remembered per browser.
Every drag also has a keyboard-operable equivalent: tab to a block and press Enter to open the same edit form, with date, start time, end time, customer, project, activity, and distance all editable directly — no dragging required.
A new Log Time view setting (User Settings) lets you pick whether the tab opens in table or calendar mode by default, so this is entirely opt-in.
Customers get a color
To make a calendar full of blocks actually readable, customers — both regular CRM customers and the lightweight time-tracking-only kind — can now be given a color, set from the customer edit forms and the "manage time tracking customers" tab, the same color picker already used for time-tracking projects. That color drives the block color in the calendar. Leave it unset and WarmDesk picks one for you automatically, choosing a color no other customer is already using rather than a random one that might collide.
What v0.16.1 fixes
Shortly after v0.16.0 shipped, dragging a block’s edge to resize it turned out to always fail — the request silently sent the entry’s raw timestamp instead of a plain date, which the server rejected. Moving a block was never affected, only resizing. v0.16.1 fixes the date it sends and, while in there, makes the resize handles themselves visible on hover instead of an invisible strip you had to find by feel.
