Timesheets
Management > Timesheets > Daily Authorisation
New Daily View for Timesheet Authorisation
We’re thrilled to introduce the new Daily Authorisation view, designed to give frontline managers a focused, day-by-day view of timesheets. This update simplifies the authorisation process, improves timely payroll delivery, ensures more accurate employee pay and the prevention of missed payments, and also improves system performance by reducing overall system load.
Start using the Daily Approval Screen today to streamline payroll and boost system performance today. For setup guidance and permission options, check out the Daily Authorisation view in Timesheet Admin help article.
Location, Department and Roles data loading performance improvements
We’ve improved the performance of loading Location, Department, and Roles data when editing timesheets, making the experience faster and more responsive. Managers will now notice quicker access to these dropdown fields, especially when working with large or complex datasets. This enhancement streamlines the process of adjusting timesheets, reducing wait times and improving overall efficiency when managing employee records.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
Create and assign multiple shifts in one simple workflow
You are now able to add multiple shifts and assign those shifts in the same flow, providing a more efficient and intuitive way to build your roster in bulk.
To get started:
- Go to Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
- Click Shift in the view picker
- For the desired date in the roster grid, click the + icon
- Select Add multiple shifts
- In the window that opens, select Location and Department and click Apply
- Enter the number of shifts for each role (and any other shift details you require)
- Click Add and Assign Shifts.
The Assign Employees window will open, allowing you to assign multiple shifts in the same flow.
Location Grouping availability in Rostering
We’re pleased to announce that we have introduced a new Group By option in Roster Manager particularly beneficial for organisations with comprehensive location groups. This Location Grouping feature is now available in rostering, enhancing scheduling capabilities for administrators and managers. Roster Managers will now benefit from enhanced rostering control through more targeted filtering and grouping of company portfolios or subgroups during rostering operations. In addition to this, managers will experience more streamlined scheduling across multiple related locations through the newly introduced Location grouping and filtering options.
Stay tuned for the delivery of the same option in both Shift and People view soon.
Continued performance improvements
We continue to invest in optimising the performance of Roster Manager, introducing changes to make publishing or unpublishing all shifts faster and more efficient for you.
Stronger validation against employment start dates
We've added additional validation to prevent employees from being rostered for a shift prior to their employment start date. This enhanced validation capability ensures employees are not rostered ahead of their employment start dates, whilst increases employee pay accuracy and compliance confidence.
Employee Management
Management > Employee > Employee Management
Easier employee role set-up with the display of selected roles
Back Office to Humanforce WFM (Cloud): We continue to bring core Back Office functionality into Humanforce WFM (Cloud) to improve efficiency, control, and ease of access. In this release, we’re pleased to introduce, easier employee role set-up with the display of selected roles.
In the Roles and Profiles table within the Employee Management screen, any roles that have already been selected for an employee will now appear at the top of the list. This means that when setting up or editing employee Location, Department or Roles information, you will no longer need to scroll through a long list to find the roles that matter. This update helps you quickly identify and manage the relevant roles, making role revision faster and more intuitive.
Pay rate dropdown performance improvements
We’ve enhanced the Pay Rate selection experience in the Employee Management screen by significantly improving the loading time of the Pay Rate dropdown when editing a Role Revision. With this improvement, the options now load much faster, making the process of updating roles and pay rates more efficient and responsive. This helps managers complete employee updates more quickly and with ease.
Workforce Analytics
New exclude inactive templates filter in Roster Templates Report
Management > Advanced > Workforce analytics
You can now filter out inactive templates in the Roster Templates (built-in) report within Workforce Analytics. We’ve added a new filter option to the report’s dashboard parameters. After clicking the Parameters button, you’ll see the option to exclude inactive templates, giving you greater control over the data displayed. This update helps you focus only on current and active roster templates, making your reports more relevant, cleaner, and easier to interpret.
Home
To Do List performance improvement
Home > View > My Team
We’ve made a performance improvement to the "My Team" view on the WFM Home Screen, specifically enhancing how quickly the To Do list loads. This update optimises the way Expiries information is fetched, resulting in a smoother and slightly faster loading experience. Managers can now access their team’s tasks more efficiently, helping them stay on top of important actions without unnecessary delays.
