Customize Timeslips Today

We have the default Timeslips today templates available.  I have TimeKeeper assigned to almost everyone.  But there are two more groups of people that I need to make customer layouts for.  When I create a new Template called ANALYST and I apply it to a specific Timekeeper, the Navigator does not display the correct Timeslips Today for ANALYST.

So I looked at making a "new" Navigator by copying the TIMEKEEPER template and renaming it ANALYST.  When I go to load the navigator ANALYST, the template is not available for selection in personal preferences for each user.  

How do I get the custom navigator to show up for specific users?

Or how do I get custom TimeSlips Today views to show up for specific users?

The help for Navigator Editor is less than helpful.  And Timeslips help itself is not much more helpful.  Thanks in advance.Smile

We are setup with Timeslips running/hosting on an internal Windows 2012 server.
All users are running Windows 7 64bit with latest software patches, gigabit wired network and at least 8GB of RAM

    I should not have to pay for someone to explain how to change the view for two different groups when they log into Timeslips.  Group A sees the Timekeeper view.  Group B sees the Analyst view.  Customizing the layout, sure, that's worthy of paying because it's a custom solution.  But how to change the view?  That's standard functionality, or at least it should be, in Timeslips.

    Would I pay for someone to teach me how to change the view in Outlook to show the preview pane or to turn it off?  No.  It's simply a function of the software.  And surely a simple answer for forum members.

    Perhaps Timeslips doesn't make it simple.  And if that's the case, fine.  Say so.  I will simply mark this experience down as another reason to move away from this software.  Frustrated is not nearly strong enough expression.

    In my prior post I told you how to change Timeslips Today views. It is under special - timeslips today. There is also the help file.

    You asked how to you customize, not how do you assign. Since I had previously answered how do you assign I feel my answer was appropriate.

    Most of the answers on this forum come from consultants like myself who volunteer our time to help. This is not something we are paid to do. We take time out of our schedules to try to help.
