Checking basic functions


First, you want to know what TimeTracker NX can do.
We will introduce the steps and points on where to start and what to do.

First, use the trial version to understand the functions and features of TimeTracker NX. Roughly consider the purpose of use and operation method within the company.
The following tasks are explained here.

For smooth use

Decide in advance what points you want to check

TimeTracker NX has various functions, mainly for labor-hour management and project management.
At this stage, we recommend that you evaluate the points based on the business issues and goals.
Specifically, there are the following.

  • What you want to achieve with TimeTracker NX
    (Visualize man-hours, check member workload, manage project progress, etc.)
  • Priority of features (must-have features, nice-to-have features, etc.)

Apply for a trial version

With the trial version of TimeTracker NX, you can immediately operate the actual tool without having to prepare a server PC.
For details, please refer to the following link: "Trial version usage"

Points

Since the trial version has a server on the cloud, there is no need to set up a server PC environment and multiple people can access it with a single browser.
In addition, because it is a server/client model, two or more people can share and edit/view project and man-hour data, and check the functions by dividing them up.

Therefore, by deciding roles in advance (project manager, person in charge, etc.) and evaluating the functions according to each role, you can efficiently grasp the functions in a short period of time.

Check the functions

Once you are able to log in to the trial version, access the URL and check the functions.
First, let's log in to TimeTracker NX.

Procedure

Log in to the TimeTracker NX trial version

The following information will be included in the email sent to you after you applied for the trial version.

  • URL to log in to
  • Login information (account password)

The email contains login information for multiple people, so if multiple people are evaluating the app, please log in with each account.

Use the guide to understand the functions

For basic operations, please refer to the following link in this first step guide,
You can get a general understanding of the basic functions, including project management and analysis.

Please go through this guide and try out the functions yourself.

Some functions are not available in the trial version.

If you want to try all the functions, please check the evaluation version.

Points

First, check the main functions (timesheet and work item screens)

Even though it is a first step guide, it introduces many functions.
It would be difficult to remember and master everything, so first check the main functions and then move on to the next step.
If you get a sense that you can actually use it in your work, we believe that the purpose of this step will be met.

The main functions are as follows.

The following items (items other than those above) are sufficient for a rough understanding of the overview of the features.

  • Flexible project management functions tailored to the level of management (projects)
  • Understanding the situation across organizations and man-hour analysis (dashboard, analysis)
