I think that an additional field to allow a task code to be entered would be a very useful addition to this software.
In order to relate timesheets to project plans it is always good to have a short task code (or WBS code) which people working on a project usually quickly become familiar with. This can also remove ambiguity about which task to record time against.
I have started entering task codes at the start of the task name which seems to work quite well. However, if we had a separate task code then this could also be typed to allow quick entry of timesheet information rather than having to select from a drop down list of task names. I agree a drop down list is very useful, but after a few days / weeks of entering timesheet information users very quickly learn the task codes and can then enter timesheet information far more efficiently using them.
