Stay on track with per-project cost rates

This feature is available on all Timely plans. Learn more in this help center article then head to Projects in Timely to get started.

Powerful New Reporting Enhancements
Quickly get the insights you need with Filterable Data Tables
Filter team hours, explore time data, and make informed business decisions faster with Timely’s new filterable data tables.
Key features include:
• Customizable borders for easy scanning

• Adjustable time, currency, and unit settings
You can also use these tables in the Project section for focused insights. Watch this 30-second video, then head to Reports > Timesheets in Timely to get started!
Tailor Timely to your team with Custom Report Fields
We’ve made organizing and analyzing team time more efficient with Custom User Properties. Now you can:
• Add important details to Timely users (e.g., role, location)
• Include these fields in exports for better filtering and insights
This new feature is available on Unlimited plans. Learn more in this help center article.
Flexible raw data exports for custom analysis
We know every business uses time data differently, so we’ve made it easier to export raw data without precalculated totals for custom analysis. You now have three export options:
• Entries Only
• Totals Only
• Entries and Totals
This lets you tailor your data exports for external systems or custom calculations in spreadsheets.
Perfect for teams who need granular control over their data. Available on all plans. Want to learn more about Report exports? Dive in here.
Save time with context-rich CSV exports
When reporting on projects in Timely, you’ll save time by spending less time cross-referencing and adding notes manually. Now, when you export reports, you can include Project Descriptions in your CSV export for an extra dose of context-rich data.
Simply head to the Reports section, pick your report, and when exporting to CSV, you’ll now see Project Descriptions as an option. Click export, and once the file downloads, you’ll find the descriptions in one of the columns. Easy peasy!
That's it for now.
