We have been working for some time on optimizing our main view to allow it to handle more data and to respond faster. We just released those optimization updates – out tests show a visible speed increase.

Check this independent 5pm review on hummingbird604.com [ link ].

We just added a couple more ways you can customize your 5pm account. Now you can add a custom welcome message to the login screen and you can also add a custom footer/header to the email notifications generated by 5pm. Both options are available through the “settings” menu (to Administrators only).

We also expanded the types of columns you can include in Time Report (using right click on column headers).

Now you can see your custom tags in reports as well!

Tags are getting in the way? Now you can align them to the right side of project/task names, or even hide them away!

We just added the possibility to connect SpiderScribe.net maps to tasks and projects.

SpiderScribe.net is a mind mapping and brainstorming app developed in our company.

5pm will be performing a scheduled maintenance on Saturday, June 25 between 5:00AM and 6:00AM EST. The service may be unavailable during the maintenance hours.

After adding a big round of new features in May-June, we realized how much 5pm has been improved over the years, even when just looking at the main view. Our designers decided to put together a quick side-by-side comparison of the very first 5pm interface and the one we have today. We hope you like it!

We just published a One-Page User Guide to 5pm in a PDF format. It makes it easy to share it with your team and print copies of it.

The guide covers the very basics of 5pm and will be helpful to your new team members.
