It was already possible to ask people to add a description when they register a new time entry for specific time allocations. After such a time allocation was selected, a description for the time entry would, however, always be required.

Now it is also possible to specify in a time allocation that it is up to the user to decide whether a description is needed after the user has selected the time allocation. Account administrators can make the Description field optional for a time allocation by opening this time allocation in the Settings console and selecting the option ‘Optional’.

This provides a little extra flexibility for organizations that are migrating from their old time tracking application to Xurrent.
