How can it help?
01
Customization
An ordinary calendar or even your Google calendar doesn’t offer you the extent of customization that you may wish for. You can color-code your events to differentiate them but when you want to add more info, you have no choice but to resort to writing a description. Moreover, the event titles and descriptions can’t be extracted. TimeTackle’s calendar tag feature allows a great deal of customization as you can add more information without being wordy. Moreover, the text option allows you to write notes or points so you’re not necessarily limited to your pre-defined labels and options. Such info can be easily extracted by TimeTackle Exporter. The result: key information presented in easily digestible nuggets.
04
Analysis
Using the Calendar Tag feature has another benefit that is directly related to the Analytics tool on TimeTackle Exporter. When you choose calendars with tags and press on the Analytics tool, it will pick up these tags and present bar charts and pie charts using the categories and labels. These pictorial representations make it easy for you to analyze the events from your calendar.
02
Overview or details
After you export your calendar through TimeTackle, the spreadsheet shows you an overview of tasks neatly organized under specific labels like departments, job types, etc. You can choose to share as little or as many details as you want to with your teammates or supervisor. While your supervisor may not be interested in the nitty-gritty, you may want to use these with your teammates to show their areas of improvement.
03
Calculation
When you see all the labels, texts, and options in the downloaded spreadsheet, you can do time and cost calculations based on the values. For example, you can see for which activity how much time was spent or which client meeting incurred a commuting cost. You can do any type of analysis you want.
05
Privacy
When you add the tags on your Google calendar, these get added to the description box in an encrypted format so that only you can decipher it when you put it on your TimeTackle Exporter. Your Google Calendar may be on a shared mode but it could be that you don’t want others to see detailed information
