New QuickBooks Time Experience: Two Workflow Changes That Make Client Time Tracking Harder. Has anyone else using the new QuickBooks Time experience noticed the same issues?
I've started using the new QuickBooks Time experience inside QBOA, and there are two workflow changes that are making time tracking less efficient for me as a bookkeeper who switches between multiple client files throughout the day.
First, in the previous QuickBooks Time interface, I could click Clock In, select the customer, enter my notes, and then start the timer. In the new experience, the timer starts immediately when I click Clock In, before I've selected the customer or entered my notes. I preferred the previous workflow because it provided more accurate time tracking.
Second, I used to keep QuickBooks Time open separately while I worked in different client QBO files. Now that Time is built into QBOA, I have to return to my QBOA company every time I switch clients, clock out, select the next client, and then go back to that client's file.
For accountants and bookkeepers who work across several client files every day, these extra steps add up quickly.
I'd love to see Intuit consider:
• Starting the timer only after the customer is selected and Clock In is confirmed
• Adding a persistent or floating Time Clock that remains accessible while moving between client files
