In this release, we’re excited to bring you more improvements to Timesheets, Roster Manager, Template Manager and more.  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 17th April 2024.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

Start Date now includes the day of the week, making it easier to identify the day for each record without referring to a calendar.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

We’ve strengthened data protection, so that users with limited location access will only see departments associated with the locations they have permission to view.

We’ve also added the Employee Role Restriction warning to the alerts shown in Roster Manager, so you can make informed decisions about who to roster more easily. To set up or edit this alert visit Admin > System Config > Clock-in Settings.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

We’ve added an alerts panel in the Template Editor for quick visibility and easy access to shifts with errors and warnings in the template you’re working on.

Employee Role Qualification Roster Alert

Admin > System Config > Clock-in Settings

We have resolved an issue so that Employee Role Qualification alerts will trigger successfully in Employee Roster and Roster Manager when the alert conditions are met. 

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

Area column is now available in the Demand Plan With Roster Timesheet data source allowing you to report by Area. Any reports utilising this data source will have the Area data available, including the AN-ACC dashboard reports. 

Employee Management

Management > Employee > Employee Management

We’ve fixed an issue that was preventing users from saving employee profiles, when a profile already had a leave accrual start date, but the user attempting to save the profile did not have the Edit leave accrual start date permission enabled.

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

The Name filter in pay run screen now correctly displays the timesheets for the employee name entered in the filter.

Employee Rostering

Management > Rostering > Employee Rostering

We have fixed an issue that was preventing managers from selecting an SMS Gateway when offering shifts if they did not have the SMS Gateway Servers permission enabled.

SMS Gateway

Admin > Admin Config > SMS Gateway Server

SMS Gateway Server, which is used for sending text messages when offering shifts, can now be configured in Humanforce Cloud. This will replace the existing Back Office configuration functionality, which will be removed soon. 

SMTP Server

Admin > Admin Config > SMTP Server

SMTP Server, which is used for sending alert updates when set up under alerts config, can now be configured in Humanforce Cloud. This will replace the existing Back Office configuration functionality, which will be removed soon.
