OmniTracker is a tool that increases your ability to:

People

User profiles contains detailed information about all parties involved in projects.

By clicking the Users button in the toolbar at the top of each page, you will be taken to the view that will show all users and which users are currently using OmniTracker, as well as which task they are working on. If you select a user, you can view the specific profile information for that user.This is also where a user can edit their own profile information.
Within a task you use the Assign Users section to allocate tasks by work type or person. This allows the project manager or administrator to manage their resources. For example, the administrator is able to match tasks and team member abilities to select the right person for the role. They can select a specific team member or members or Assign Users automatically by work type.

Time tracking for workers

Team Members will also use the Task View to record the time worked on a Project. There are two ways to record time worked. The first is to activate the Timer Clock under Status. The three buttons allow you to Start, Pause Timing and Stop. The time is recorded in minutes and seconds. The team member may also just type the length of time worked into the timer.

Assets
