In this release, we’re excited to bring you early access to Timesheet bulk editing and more improvements to 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 15th May 2024.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

We're excited to announce the early access release of the Timesheet Bulk Edit feature! 

This new functionality is available initially from the 15th May for customers interested in participating in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) before it is released broadly. 

If you'd like to try it out, please: 

1. Submit a Support ticket via Humanforce Help to request access to Timesheet Bulk Edit in UAT. 
2. After your access is confirmed, enable the Allow bulk editing permission via View Timesheet Authorisation Page > Allow editing > Allow bulk editing. 

After access and permissions have been enable, the Edit Details (Bulk Edit) button will be visible in your Timesheets interface. 

For more information on using Timesheet Bulk Edit, visit Editing Timesheets on Humanforce Help.

More usability improvements to Timesheets

All checkboxes are now 'sticky', meaning you can see and make selections even while scrolling through the table. Previously, when scrolling, checkboxes would disappear. This improvement enhances usability and efficiency on the Timesheets screen.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

We've fixed an issue where some overnight shifts were not being imported into the roster.

A new Reports button has been added allowing for quick access to the Roster By Roles, Roster By Employee, Roster Individual, Roster Daily Coverage By Employee and Roster Daily Coverage By Role reports.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

We’ve fixed the following issues where:

• The Minimum Period Roster hours alert was not calculating for multiple periods if the template was longer than a single pay period.
• The break time within a shift was sometimes displaying incorrectly.
• Some overnight shifts were showing negative net hours after a shift had been edited.
• Shifts were not ordered by shift start time.
• An internal server error was appearing if the pay period was not set.

We’ve also added Total cost and hours columns to the Template Manager page.

Employee Rostering

Management > Rostering > Employee Rostering

Users with the permission Allow change of read only status enabled can now assign, re-assign or offer shifts that are locked, without needing to unlock the shift first. 

Department Rostering

Management > Rostering > Department Rostering

We fixed an issue where after updating a template it was not showing within the Import a Template list.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

Filtering data by Region is now available for the below built-in reports and data sources:

• Roster Timesheet Data Source
• Variance Analysis by Hours
• Variance Analysis by Paytype

This allows you to filter data in the report for the locations that are specific to the filtered region. 

We have also added Paycompany as a new column in the above data sources, so that it’s available to view in reports. 

The Roster Timesheet datasource now has a new field of Roster_EventFunction available. To see the new field, add it to reports by selecting it in the datasource.

Awards

Admin > Award Config > Public Holidays

The public holiday grid now gets updated each time when a new location or region is selected.
