No More Mysteries with Entry History

Would you believe me if I told you that Freckle was making it even easier to see the who, what, where, and when of your team’s time?

You might say, Devon, it sounds like you’re trying out for the lead in an infomercial.

But, after that you’d definitely say, Are you serious? How can Freckle tell me even more about my team’s time?!

If you work on a team, you’ve probably run into situations where you needed to put on your detective hat and get the dirt on a time entry.

Was the entry edited?  Who originally logged that time and who made the changes? What changes were made anyway?

Before, you might have felt at a loss for what to do if your team couldn’t remember what changes had been made to an entry.

Now, Freckle gives you the tools to really investigate! With the new Entry History feature you’ll be giving Sherlock a run for his money.

Just click “edit” or “show” on any entry, and you’ll see an overview of the history of that entry. If you want to see even more details about a specific event, click on it and the event will expand to allow you to see all the available information Freckle has about it:

Not only can you see who did what—we also show you what exactly changed and information about the app or browser being used.

If you’re interested in the technical details—you can click “transaction details” to learn more about the event, like the exact time and IP address the request came from.

We can only list the history since we launched this feature, on September 24th, 2014,  so sadly there’s no history before that date.

This feature is only available for Small Team, Medium Team, Large Team and Enterprise accounts, and you’ll need to have an hashtags-enabled account.

Freckle teams, next time you’re questioning a time entry, channel your inner Holmes and use the Entry History feature to help you solve just about any mystery!
