Overview of Hydra Personal Features:
Hydra offers an easy-to-use and integrated timesheet and personal plan facilities. Each team member connected to the system has access to Hydra Personal, providing personal planning and timesheet reporting functionality. The timesheet allows collection of actual data and latest estimates of remaining work.

The Diary View provides a personal schedule as well as a convenient method of recording personal notes and actual achievement. This is automatically updated for every resource with access to the system when a manager publishes their plan. Hydra users may keep their Hydra software iconised on their desktop most of the day. From time to time they will call up their personal schedule and enter actual achievement to date.

All of the team members work may be shown on the diary including project work on many projects; non-project work like meetings, vacations, normal everyday operations, training and other absences as well as personal notes. Double clicking an item in the diary allows the user to record actual work done along with any notes and comments. Right clicking allows the user to report time that was not planned, planned outside this period or time spent on new tasks. New tasks are brought to the immediate attention of the manager on timesheet submission.
