Bringing an entire company to use new software can be hard. But, it does not have to be!
In this guide we will show you how you can take full advantage of Timeneye free trial in order to start tracking your time and your team’s work time!

In this guide, you will learn:

• The best practices to test a new software;
• How to bring your team to Timeneye;
• How to set up your team in the Timeneye workspace;
• The Timeneye features that help you kickstart the process;
• How to make sure you and your team do not forget to track your time.

Let’s dive in!

Hard to decide if you like a software without even trying it. This is why you can test Timeneye for 30 days, for free, with as many people as you like!
However, our advice is to firstly test the software with a small group of people (you and some others in your department/team). Later on you can add more people before the end of the trial, or you can upgrade your entire team to Timeneye once you have purchased the subscription. 

You can invite users from the section Management> Team Members. All you need to do is add names and email addresses of your team members.
You can also import team members from Microsoft/ Google in case your  team uses Office 365 or Google Suite.
Right under the green New team members button you will see the options to import your team members automatically from Microsoft or Google Workspace.

We also offer an option to import users from project management tools like Asana, Basecamp, and Microsoft Planner.
To join your workspace, your team members has to accept the email invitation you will send them.

With Timeneye you do not just get people onboard!
You can also import data: project lists, historic time tracking data etc.

NOTE: You can use this function only in case you are an Owner or an Admin.

At the bottom left side of your menu, clicking on Management>Import data you will find two possibilities:

• Import CSV Entries;
•  Import CSV Projects.

In this way you can import project lists from a csv, or timesheets from a csv.
We recommend doing it if you have a lot of data, or if you want to migrate part of the time you have already tracked in another software.

Once you have added your team members, you need them to track time between your projects..
And of course, in order to do that, you firstly need to have a project 😉
A quick way to create multiple projects at the same time, apart from the import feature we already mentioned, are the templates.
You can create one project, and then model all the other ones using the same project as a template.
This is particularly useful if the project and activities you do for your clients are all very similar.

You and your team should all set up the daily reminder email since this email helps you all to remember to track time!
If the software detects that someone has tracked less time than usual, the user will receive a gentle email nudge to remind him/her to track time.

• Be the good example. If you are the one using the software daily, your teammates will follow as well;

• Don’t do it in critical moments of the year, like near major deadlines or similar. Time tracking will likely become an afterthought and you will be risking sinking the effort;

• Take advantage of the full trial period;

• Try, test, repeat. You may need a few days before finding the best way to link it to your workflow. But when you will have found your way, it will be smooth sailing;

• Explain the why. You should be the one knowing and understanding the value of time tracking and, consequently, you should share to team members the values and perks of time tracking software such as Timeneye.
