The best annual clock in Microsoft Teams
Compare, align and execute the yearly goals and projects easily in the Annual clock
We introduced the annual clock last year for teams and organizations to really drill into their yearly planning cycle, and to enhance clarity and situational awareness between functions. It has become one of our best-selling features because of the intuitiveness and the amount of information it can communicate in one simple image.
We have been developing the annual clock further closely with customers and have introduced improvements to the visualization as well as the information available in the view.
- Based on feedback, we have made the annual clock even better with:
- Tooltip information on items that appear on hover
- Ability to choose between showing items at their full length, or extended to the nearest week for a nicer appearance

Gain the situational upper hand with Fingertip’s Sunburst
New and improved Sunburst helps you find information faster, while gaining insights into bigger picture
Fingertip’s Sunburst provides a clear and interactive way to visualize status and progress hierarchical data in a sleek visual way. It visually represents the relations between items of a collection or a plan and is easy to navigate, helping you find the items you are looking for.
It’s intuitive to use with various customization options and helps communicate progress efficiently to involved people, creating situational awareness.
In the 4.1 release, the Sunburst has become more useful with:
- An extra ring to display more related items on first glance
- Better navigation through the complete hierarchy
- Tooltips on items that appear on hover
- Icons that help discern between different types of items

OKR hierarchy with objectives
Build complete organizational objective structures with Fingertip
With the renewed Fingertip objective structure, you now can create more detailed and hierarchical organizational OKR (Objectives and Key Results) structures in as many levels as you wish.
You can seamlessly track objectives across all levels and ensure that progress made on individual OKRs automatically updates the status of higher-level objectives.
As a result, you will maintain a clear, real-time overview of your organization’s performance, helping you better align efforts, make data-driven decisions, and ensure that all teams are contributing effectively towards the top strategic goals.

Create posts from activators directly to personal or group chats
For when you can’t wait for people to get the memo, you can now create posts with links to activators and send them to individuals or groups directly
All activators now have the possibility to post a personal or group chat card, making it easier than ever to get your teams and colleagues discussing the things you need their help or comments with.
In the ‘New post’ menu within an item, you can select between Channel and Chat for the post, allowing you to select the best way to get attention. They are also a great way to inform of progress and updates or remind of incoming deadlines.
This helps ensure that everyone stays in the loop, reduces the chances of miscommunication and enhances collaboration, while also reducing waiting times when passing work over to another colleague.
And, if a relevant group chat doesn’t already exist in Teams, Fingertip gives you the option to generate a new chat with the selected people.

Other new features
Fingertip collections available for personal or group chats
Get the flexibility to lead exactly how you want: Fingertip collections are now available to group and personal chats! Add the application as a tab within your chat as you would within a channel and collaborate with chat members on items alongside the conversation.
This makes it easier for teams that primarily work in group chats to leverage Fingertip’s capabilities. Collections, which are used to organize key information and actions, can now be integrated seamlessly into these chats, making sure everyone stays on top of the progress and current priorities.
Additionally, posts created from chat collections are automatically sent to the group chat as interactive cards, making sure the updates reach the team in lightning speed, and helps everyone contribute with extremely small effort.
Speed up item creation with inline activator creation
A much-requested feature in Fingertip’s list views has been the ability to add new activators directly at the bottom of the list.
In the 4.1 release we have added this functionality for collections, plans and meeting action points, where you can now create folders, tasks and plans by clicking on ‘+ New item’, adding a title and due date, and clicking ‘ü’.
This streamlines the item creation workflow and improving overall efficiency, while helping keep focus during the manual process of creating new items with Fingertip.
