Available now in a cloud(.gov) near you, the latest and greatest Tock!
With our first update of the year we're making big changes to reporting. We've refreshed, revitalized, and opened access to utilization reports for individuals, business units, and 18F overall. As well as an indicator of progress towards billing targets when completing timecards each week.
Curious as to how Tock is crunching these numbers? Checkout the utilization page of the docs!
This is the first step towards more comprehensive reporting by Tock, there's plenty of work to be done and we'll continue to iterate. This iteration of utilization reporting is informational only and will be used to guide data cleaning and enhancement work. You may see unexpected data in the reports, please don't hesitate to pop into #tock-dev and ask any questions you may have.
Stuff You Can See:
- #985 - Re-working how utilization is being calculated and displayed. Viewable on user detail pages and the overall utilization report.
- #966 - Made utilization reports available to all users
- #955 - Add billable hours indicator to timecard
- #938 - Corrected url on user details page table of recent tocks
- #1014, #1017 - Documentation updates for users & developers
