New Release! Humanforce Cloud - Version 6.0.28
In this release, we’re excited to bring you more improvements to Roster Manager, Template Manager, Timesheets, 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 12th June 2024.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
In Shift view, you can now sort by column in the summary of shifts for any day and role. By default, shifts are sorted by Start time, earliest to latest. To sort shifts by a different column, click the column heading (and click again to switch between ascending and descending order).
A new permission, Delete All Shifts, has been added which provides you with control over who can delete all shifts within a roster. To edit this permission, go to Admin > Security Config > Access Levels > Edit and click the Permissions tab.
Template Manager and Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager/Template Manager
We’ve fixed two issues where:
- If Adding or Editing a shift, the Function drop-down would not allow a selection to be made if the shift already had an Area selected.
- If a shift was created without a break, and later a valid break time was added, an invalid break time message was being displayed.
These issues have been resolved in both Roster Manager and Template Manager.
Timesheets
Management > Timesheets > Timesheets
- When you authorise a timesheet using the Authorise icon or edit inline the Pay Start or Pay End times for an authorised timesheet, the system now refreshes the Cost field automatically for timesheets in the pay period, for the employee whose timesheet was originally edited. Note that the values may not change, if the edit does not impact Cost. This ensures the Timesheet grid always displays the correct Cost value for the pay period.
- When viewing All alerts, and marking an alert as read (by clicking the eye icon), the position of the alert in the list no longer changes. This change brings it into line with the behaviour of the other alert filter options.
- We have enhanced the accuracy of Status data for authorised timesheets. Now, when you:
- use the Start or End time inline editing on an authorised timesheet, and
- the Do not unauthorise a timesheet when modified permission is not enabled,
- the Status will immediately update to Unauthorised.
Previously, this update required a manual refresh. Additionally, the timesheet will be removed from the grid if your view excludes Unauthorised timesheets.
- After a recent change, in certain circumstances, timesheets were not being sorted correctly. This has been resolved.
- In certain circumstances, when manually entering a Pay End time, a timesheet captured seconds and milliseconds (as well as minutes and hours), causing the Gross and Net value fields to display unrounded values to the millisecond. This has now been changed to provide values in hours and minutes for ease of use.
- When using New > New Timesheets from Roster, applying filters and choosing Select all, only the filtered and selected records will now be removed when you click the Delete icon.
Department Rostering
Management > Rostering > Department Rostering
The value for the net hours of a shift is no longer affected by daylight savings and shows the actual net hours based on the start and end time of the shift.
Clocking via kiosk
When clocking in through the kiosk, workers can select Area, Event, and Function for non-rostered shifts, capturing more detail and making review/approval of timesheets easier.
Leave/Availability
Management > Availability > Employee Leave/Availability
We resolved an issue where users who had permission to cancel approved leave requests, did not have the Cancel button displayed on approved leave requests. The workflow now references the correct permission and displays the Cancel button.
Workforce Analytics
Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics
The Roster Template shift reference - RosterTemplateItemId - is available as a column in the Roster Templates datasource for reporting. Using this field in the report will allow you to view multiple unassigned shifts with the same details.
Employee Management
Management > Employee > Employee Management
We’ve improved the role filter to show roles ordered alphabetically in the drop-down list, to help you quickly find the one you need.
