project billable button does not work

Open hostingnuggets opened this issue 10 years ago • 11 comments

The billable button under a projet does not do anything, is this behaviour wanted?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, this button marks a project as billable. Is this a UI issue? If so, which browser etc are you using?

yeah UI issue, if I click on the button nothing happens, afaik I should be able to trigger it on or off. I am using iceweasel 31.7.0 as browser on Debian 8. Also I was wondering if you can define somewhere the hourly rate for a project?

Also goes wrong for Firefox I see

Nope, it's just time registration. You can easily export the data and could cook something up in google docs/excel though.

@hostingnuggets this is because you first need to specify a client before the toggle is active:

  1. No client selected (toggle is inactive): screen shot 2015-07-01 at 11 10 28
  2. Client selected (toggle is active): screen shot 2015-07-01 at 11 10 41
  3. Billable = true: screen shot 2015-07-01 at 11 10 48

So what I think we can take from this is that the UI here lacks clarity.

  • The difference between the toggle being inactive of active is negligible.
  • We don't explain why the toggle is inactive.
  • Why can't a project be billable without a client? (maybe you want to add the client later?)
  • Why can't we add a new client inline here? Instead of first having to create a client at /clients.

Also some explanatory stuff and or inline validation would help here..

Any thoughts?

@dkhgh your suggestions are very good. At least if the billable is inactive, we need telll user to create client first.

Maybe we could hide the button until you select a client?

I think the reason a project can't be billable without a client was a request from defacto. For now i agree with hiding the button until you select a client.

Or what would be nice is that you can enter a new client already instead of having to select one in the dropdown.

Still makes sense IMO.

Hi, I will like to contribute to this project,

Cool.

Have this been fixed?

It's not really clear if this needs work.
