Custom fields manager

Custom fields manager is a free TimeCamp add-on that lets you create TimeCamp custom fields and fill in user values for your team in one spreadsheet-style grid. It is for TimeCamp admins who keep people data, such as a department or an employee ID, in custom fields. You update many people from one screen.

Why teams use Custom fields manager

• Your team on one screen. One person per row and one user field per column.
• Consistent values. Text fields suggest values already used in the same column.
• The right people, fast. Search by name, email, or group, or filter on any user field.
• No silent failures. If a save fails, the cell returns to its last saved value and you see an error.

What you can do

• Create templates for users, tasks, or time entries, with a String or Number type. Rename or archive them later.
• Edit like a spreadsheet. Press Enter or F2, or start typing. Tab saves and moves right, and Escape cancels.
• Change many cells at once. Select a range, copy and paste with Cmd or Ctrl, drag the fill handle, or press Delete to clear.
• Paste from Excel or Google Sheets. A single copied value fills the whole selected range.
• Filter, sort, and pin. Number filters support comparisons and ranges. Show up to 200 people per page.

How it works

1. Open Custom fields manager inside TimeCamp. It uses your TimeCamp account and detects your TimeCamp host.
2. In Custom field templates, click Add template, enter a name, pick the entity and field type, and click Create template.
3. Open People. Each user field is a column, and each person is a row.
4. Type, paste, or drag values into cells. Each change saves to TimeCamp, and an empty cell removes the value.

Good to know

• Custom fields manager is free.
• Templates and the People grid are for TimeCamp admins. Other users see only the User field values table.
• The People grid and the values table list the users that TimeCamp returns as your subordinates.
• Field types are String and Number only. The entity is fixed after creation. New templates are optional, and Required is read-only.
• You edit values for users only, not for tasks or time entries.
• Values that do not fit a column are skipped and reported. A paste never adds people.
• There is no CSV import or export. Values load with at least one request per person, so large teams take longer.
• The add-on has no database. It reads from and saves to TimeCamp. Profile pictures load from Gravatar.
