Timesheet - View Notes with Hover/As a Tool Tip
It would be really helpful if I could see the note contents in my timesheet without having to say "edit notes" every time. Being able to hover and read it would be great.

Define workflow approval hierarchy - managing time
It would be great to have the option to define a specific workflow approval hierarchy. As it is now, anyone with Manage Timesheet rights can approve anyone's time - which for us is too open. Ideally we would like to be able to define the approver for a particular resource or resource group. E.g. the HR staff's time is approved by the HR manager etc.
Thank you for having made an awesome tool - powerful and intuitive!

Override custom resource availability
Some resources typically work a 4 day week, but from time to time they work the full 5 days (based on project needs). We would like to be able to set their default resource availability at 4 days, but over ride this when required by manually allocating hours to a non working day.
4 votesDynamic capacity is now released. Customize resource availability on a more dynamic level. Also easily mark the resource schedule as not available making the time non working. Check out the blog and knowledge base for release notes.

Allow me to request that a project is added to my timesheet
When I start work on a new project, it's only later in the week when I log my time that I find I haven't had the appropriate project added to my timesheet so I can't log the time and need to email the administrator manually to request it (which also requires that I know who the administrator is).
Instead, I'd (ideally) like to be able to pick the right project and request access to it without leaving the HubPlanner UI. Meanwhile the administrator receives an email about it which includes two action links/buttons - Approve/Reject - which do exactly as…

"Effective utilisation" stat
In reports, "available time" and "utilisation" are calculated as a ratio between available time and booked time.
It would be great to have also an "effective utilisation" ratio based not on booking/available but on reported/available, to see on the past weeks who was unoccupied...
Same thing in the timesheets : it's great to see how much time was declared in comparison of what was booked, but it would be great to have also "how much time was declared in comparison of available time for this ressource".
5 votesYou now have reported utilization and reported availability metrics within the report builder.

Holidays assignable to Resource Groups and/or invidividuals
Holidays added globally under Settings should be assignable or copy-and-pasteable to individuals so they appear as 'red' vacation days.
Ideally you should be able to add a Holiday to an individual by selecting the Resource Group. So the Holiday is assigned on mass.

Allow for budgets to be broken down into booking categories
The booking categories documentation (https://hubplanner.uservoice.com/forums/199077-what-s-next-for-hub-planner/suggestions/4292472-view-projects-in-timeline) seems to indicate that categories can be used to indicate different types of work (e.g. design, development, PM, QA, etc.).
Would it be possible to expose these booking categories for each project's budget, and allow for hours/$ for each category?
So my project wouldn't have just one 500 hour pool to book time against, but may instead have 100 hours for design, 300 hours for development, and 100 for QA.
The suggestion here (https://hubplanner.uservoice.com/forums/199077-what-s-next-for-hub-planner/suggestions/4292472-view-projects-in-timeline) to use one "group" for projects and then multiple projects, one for each type of work, is…
8 votesHi folks, this is now completed. You can now assign a budget in cash and hours to each booking category. Pop into the project modal and easily assign from there. Let us know what you think!
Feel free to schedule a quick call with us to show you how it works.
Thanks,

Dependencies on Tasks
It would be nice to be able to move the project as a whole by adding dependencies to tasks. For example, design is dependent on wireframes; therefore when connecting them they will move together in the project when the schedule is changed. Without this you have to move each individual task as the schedule changes and that could be up to 10 tasks in one.
58 votesGreat news! Finally at looooong last it is here - Dependencies :)

Send an email notification to resources
Why don't send an email notification to every resource in the morning filled with his tasks/projects to do today
We are using a lot of tools in our daily business and we (the project managers) know that our resources won't use another tool. They would prefer to receive an email notification with their daily amount to do:
- Which project / projects (including the notes to this project)
- Which time ammount60 votes -
Notifications for project changes
Notifications for project changes - project managers and managers would like to know when there are changes to projects as they need to know if their are shifts with the resources. It would be great to have the ability to send out notifications through email when these things happen. I can think of several ways this could be accomplished - set up a group called "Managers" and apply those that should receive notifications to that group. Or allow managers to subscribe to projects and/or resource groups. Then they would see updates on things they wanted to see vs. seeing everything.…

Ability to set vacation allocation for a resource
Ideal - set a number of days vacation for each resource and then see a report for how many days remaining/used.

Possibility to filter reports on values of time
You should be able to filter the report so that e.g. only the overbooked time is shown, or only the availability is shown. Now also the resources with availability = 0 is shown or the projects where no time is scheduled (those are the projects that need to be archived) if you would be able to filter the reports further, the reports would be more usefull.

UX on the system is very erratic
The more you edit the different elements in the system, the more apparent this becomes.
Maybe its just me, and happy for someone to pass comment and correct me.
I have noticed the following behaviour:
Archive a project: System then takes you to that project in the archive projects list? I have archived it, why do I want to be taken to it? I have just archived it! Leave me in the main active projects list please.
Delete project: Complete refresh of the system and takes you back to the resources list? Why? This makes no sense at all.
Within…
1 voteThanks Tony for the additional feedback on the archiving and deletion of projects. I will move to a different internal list where this will be looked at.

Select Multiple Bookings At The Same Time
Sometimes the need to move multiple bookings all at once is required.
Either between days, or resources.
Select multiple entries then drag and drop.18 votes -
Archived projects remain in the scheduler
When a project is archived it automatically removes the scheduled hours from the operatives scheduler. When you look at the group then it shows "white space" and a whole day of availability against individuals when they were really booked at capacity. I would like to see any hours scheduled for archived projects remain against the individual
2 votesThis will be fixed in next 30min.

Resources cost and revenue
It would be great to be able to set cost and revenue billing rates for resources. For example when I am outsourcing my team, I need to bill clients at different rate for the team members and pay the team.

Copy Project
It would be a nice addition to be able to copy a project. For organizations that perform repeat (or close to repeat) projects, the ability to establish a template then copy it to the new project would be a great time savings. Alternatively, having more control over the import multiple bookings would be a good compromise. Being able to set the Booking Category or booking colors would eliminate the need for the user to clean up the project after the import.
