In this release, we’re excited to bring you further improvements to Roster Manager and Bid Manager, as part of our powerful, intelligent and seamless rostering solution, as well as a number of other improvements.  Read on for all the details!

All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to bring you the items below, overnight on Wednesday 20th March 2024.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

 Improvements

1. When importing a template into Roster Manager, you can now search by Template name.
2. Fill shift now includes a select all check box.
3. You are now able to update shifts to a Read only status and also re-set to normal via the Actions menu.
4. There is now a prompt shown if you are editing a shift that has been offered to one or more employees so that you will know the offer will be revoked from employees.

Bid Manager

Management > Shift > Bid Manager

Exchange bids will not be visible in Bid Manager where the bidder does not have the required permission to view or bid on exchange shifts. This resolves a rare scenario where a worker submits a standard (non-exchange) bid and is later rostered for a different shift that overlaps with the shift they’ve bid on, causing the original bid to become an exchange bid. In this scenario, the exchange bid will no longer be visible in Bid Manager (as the worker does not have the required permission to submit exchange bids).

Alerts

The 'break not started' shift notification has been improved so that it only triggers when the employee has clocked-in for the shift and hasn't taken the scheduled break.

Event Manager

Management > Rostering > Event Manager

Fixed an issue that was preventing employees from being assigned to shifts within a labour group.

We’ve also increased the filter options in Event Manager to include Event Export Code, Event Name and Function Name. Function Export Code will remain selected by default in the filter options.

Employee Roster & Department Roster

Management > Rostering > Employee Rostering 

For Employee Roster, we resolved an issue where the Hours Required alert was not triggered if the shift had a duration of 0.00 net hours.

We also made improvements to the interaction between Department Roster and Employee Roster, to ensure shifts are not mixed-up on the Department Roster when an additional shift is added for the same location and department via Employee Roster.
