User menu

Individual settings for each user are opened via the user menu. It is located at the level of the heading, to the right above the respective workspace. The settings in this area only affect the user who made them.

The menu shows information such as name, email and the Business Central instance for the logged-in user. The user can explicitly log out here, switch companies and enter the user settings.

Switch companies​

To change the company, the user must be created in the other company. Time recordings, templates and the users themselves are company-specific. Therefore, time recordings and templates from one company are not visible in other companies.

Settings​

The user settings are divided into a General part and a part specifically for Time Tracking.

General​

Settings on the General page control how the entire app is displayed to the user.

  • **Language and region
    The Language and Region is taken from the browser when the user first logs in. Each user can change the language and region in the Settings. The region effects the date and time format. English and German languages are available. If a language other than German is stored in the browser, English will be defaulted to. Some browsers allow setting a language but no region. In Chrome, for example, German or German/Germany can be selected in the languages settings. If no region is stored or cannot be recognized, United States will be selected automatically.

  • Dark mode
    If the Dark Mode is activated, the complete app is displayed in eye-friendly colors. Dark Mode can be activated and deactivated via the Mode button.

  • Consent to the use of user data and data traffic
    In order to provide optimal support and to continuously improve our DYCE web app, we record user data and data traffic. Consent can be given via the cookie banner and in the setup. If no consent is given, no data is recorded. No errors either.

Time tracking​

Settings in the Time Tracking page only affect the display of the Time Tracking area.

  • Selection of Time Tracking form
    Different time recording masks can be selected to use for creating time recordings. All masks work basically in the same way, they only differ regarding the fields displayed. The following time recording masks can be selected:
  • All
    In this mask all fields are displayed. This time recording mask is used as default when the time recording is opened for the first time.
  • Compact
    In this mask the fields Start, End and Break are not displayed.
  • Simple
    In this mask the fields Start, End, Break and Customer are not displayed.
  • Dynamic
    This mask is one of the masks used in Azure DevOps. All fields are displayed in this mask.

The preview below the selection shows the selected mask. Changing the Time Tracking Form changes the display on the Recordings, Incomplete and Templates page.

  • Export
    Time Recordings are automatically synchronized in Business Central. Time Recordings can also be exported using the Export function. Only the time recordings of the user performing the export are exported. The exported Time Recordings are provided as JSON.

  • Show days without capacity
    The Show days without capacity button controls which days are displayed in time recordings and the dashboard. Depending on the setting, all days or only working days are displayed. By default, only working days are preset according to the working time model and base calendar.

  • Calendar settings
    Before you can see your Outlook calendar entries, you must grant read permission once. The read permission can be revoked at https://myapps.microsoft.com/. Find the DYCE app, click on the three dots, select Manage your application and then Revoke Access.

Miscellaneous​

  • Task Grouping
    The grouping of tasks is defined here. Each user can choose between grouping by Customer, Project (default), Start date and End date.
