We just released Reports Module 1.8.1. This fixes an issue with Recent Activity list not showing in People reports when you are using a non-English language with activeCollab.
Suggested upgrade for people you use multiple languages with activeCollab.
We just released an update to Time Reports Plus. It packs even more power and I believe everyone should take advantage of it 
All customers can download the latest version from our member’s area.
Putler – our Paypal monitoring, notification, reporting and planning tool is progressing well. Today, we released the Alpha 2.2 version. You can now see “month to date” balance change and “daily average” change in balance.
Both these additions help you monitor daily and monthly performance of your business. Month to date change in balance tells you how much money you made (or spent) from the start of this month. The daily average will tell you average change in balance. Daily average is very useful, it even helps you gauge a day’s performance (from the Balance Trend chart) against “benchmark” average. So if your average is $300, but you did only $100 on a day, you know something was not quite right.
We also added “Automatic Updates” in version 2.1. So if you have 2.1, it will check for this update automatically and ask if you want to install it. If you are using a version below 2.1, we recommend you download Putler again and install it to take advantage of the latest updates.
This release completes our initial “wish list” of features. All reports and calculations are currently based on the account balance. We are now working on creating reports from transaction details – so that they reflect actual sales. Putler’s next versions will tell you about your daily sales, which products are selling more and who are your top customers – among others.
Thank you for trying Putler, and we look forward to your feedback.

A whole lot. Almost everything actually! We rewrote the whole system. Here’s a summary of what’s changed.
Reports now include checklists, tasks, milestones and tickets. Daily snapshots have higher accuracy and are in line with activeCollab’s access privilege system. The core reporting engine is robust and well tested.
Person Reports Card
You can now keep track of your team’s activities. See detailed statistics about work activity, project assignments and compare people using the Activity Score. Assignment chart shows you items assigned to a person across projects while Hours chart shows the actual hours spent across assigned projects. You can filter people by name, role and company as well as see performance in given date range.
Another major addition is Company Reports. You can now see project status summary for all projects of a company on one screen. Filter to see only Active Projects or All Projects.
Reporting without the ability to take action has limited use. You can now send a reminder / followup / appreciation right from Reports module. Appropriate person will automatically appear in the To field, and you can add any other user using intelligent auto complete system. You can do use this quick action system from all reports – Projects, People and Companies.
Printing now works much better, and works for all three reporting screens. We have even included a summary at top.
Company Usage Stats
There is no way to find out how many total, open and closed tickets you have in activeCollab. No way to find out disk space usage or number of users either. System usage statistics – available under Companies Reports – provide you detailed usage statistics about your activeCollab system. You can narrow down by client companies to see their usage patterns too.
Get a summary of project’s progress at a glance with the Project Status summary panel. You can see % completion, leader, group, next milestone and a pie chart indicating progress. Hovering over gives you additional details. Project’s Velocity (speed of completing items) is highlighted. And we have even added a forecast date for project completion. It studies the last few weeks’ items – opened, closed, reopened, added – and predicts a completion date.
Reports module now works well over HTTPS too! Thanks to everyone’s patience on this!
We are proud of user interface redesign in this release! We spent numerous hours getting the details right. We hope you will appreciate it.
You no longer need to edit PHP files to change settings. You don’t even need to go to System Roles to give permissions to view Reports. We have added a Reports Configuration option in activeCollab administration screen. You can configure permissions, date format, weights to use in activity scores and other settings from there.
Reports module now will only include those projects, companies and users that are visible to the currently logged in user. It will show reports according to access rights of current user. You can now rest assured that users won’t get access to any unauthorized information. Rights are inherited from activeCollab and you can also set permissions for the three types of reports from Reports module configuration screen in activeCollab administration section.
There are many other enhancements! Lots of tweaks to make your reporting easier, faster and more productive for you. We have paid attention to the details so that you can focus on taking decisions based on these reports.
We don’t have a live demo, but invite you to our short introduction video on Reports Module. It will show you all types of reports available and how you can use them. You can also see some screenshots from documentation page.
Sure. Go ahead, click here to purchase Reports module ($69) and download it instantly. Installation instructions are included in your download.

I set up the about to be released version of Reports module for activeCollab on our services company‘s server. During all these months of development, I’ve been testing it with small amount of real + test data. And I was zapped when I tested it with real big data today.
System Usage Statistics
Reports module tells we I have 41 active projects now, and have logged close to 22,000 hours of work on those projects. We have tons of work items completed, 2GB worth of files, and we are going strong.
And when I looked at the overall project summary, it told me we are 91% done, yet will never finish our projects. We have logged close to 4000 hours over the last 3 months and have items that are due for more than 290 days.
Summary - All Projects
And if that was not enough, we are closing work only at a rate of 12 items per week.
Few!
I planned to spend about 10 minutes reviewing the reports since I just wanted to test before wrapping up the build. But I spent well over half an hour – with occasional “wow’s” and “aha’s”, and “damn’s” in between.I think I am loving it.
Here are some other revelations / insights:
My final reaction: this is deadly. This version of Reports module is just too dangerous. It’s sizzling hot. It must be handled with care.
Take care!
As more people signup for PlannerX, our customer feedback has also started coming in. We have discovered some limitations of the system and are working on them. Here are some of the problems that are on top of my list.
If you are our customer, I want to let you know that we are working on these items, and will have solutions soon.
I am a little upset and worried due to these issues. At the same time, I am thrilled by the commitment of PlannerX users! Kudos!
