Many of our users asked for it, and we made it happen! Now there are two more columns that you can add to your main projects/tasks view: “Team members” and “Clients”.

Now you can also download our free Time Tracking AIR widget though Adobe Marketplace.

5pm interface is now available in Danish! Special thanks to Janus Jacobsen who helped with the translation. All together 5pm speaks thirteen(!) languages now: English, Swedish, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Polish, Italian, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish and Danish.
Do you want to see 5pm translated into your language? Any 5pm user can contribute (including the free trial accounts) – just use the “Settings” menu on the top of your 5pm screen. There is a link there called “5pm Translation” that will take you to the public translation area.

Tasks start date is defaulted now to the parent project start date if it is in the future (instead of “today”). The same applies to parent tasks and sub-tasks. This makes it easier to add future tasks.
5pm will be performing a scheduled maintenance on Friday, December 25, 2009 between 2:00AM and 3:00AM EST. The service may be unavailable during the maintenance hours.

May all of your projects be completed on time, your teams achieve all their goals and get even more done by 5pm each day!
