UBitJournal Outlook Adds Missing File Journaling to Outlook 2013 and 2016
UBitJournal Outlook 2016 will run from your startup folder and emulate the file journaling capabilities that Microsoft has removed from Office 2016. UBitJournal will add open Microsoft Office files from local drives and server (including those synchronised locally) to your Outlook journal.
If you have to account for your time working on documents you will love this pragmatic tool:
Gant type list of opened documents in Outlook lets you keep track of your work
See when a document was opened and how long you worked on it
Open journaled documents directly from Outlook
See when you received emails (you need to activate this feature in Outlook)
What UBitJournal does for you:
UBitJournal checks for open files every 5 minutes
UBitJournal writes Office files to the journal after they have been closed
UBitJournal monitores Office files by default
UBitJournal can monitor any other file
UBitJournal will run with Office 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016
Using UBitJournal
When started UBitJournal will open a window and display the currently open files. To continue running please choose the button "Hide". Clicking on the UBitJournal icon in the system tray will show the application window again.
UBitJournal has to run for more than 15 minutes and you must have held files open for more than 5 minutes and closed them before you can see them in the journal. Just let UBitJournal run for a day or two and you will see the results in Outlook.
