We’re thrilled to introduce our latest release, this update brings several enhancements to the Roster Manager and Timesheets modules, designed to streamline your workflow and improve overall usability. Below, you'll find a detailed overview of the new features and fixes included in this release.

All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to bring you the items below, overnight on Wednesday 4th September 2024.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

A loading spinner indicator has been introduced when using the bulk 'Authorise' and 'Authorise to Roster Time' functions. This new visual cue will indicate your request is being processed, enhancing transparency during bulk editing.

When adding or editing a timesheet, the Shift Type dropdown will now only display options relevant to the employee’s effective award profile based on the date of the timesheet, rather than today's date. This ensures more accurate assignments and reduces errors.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Manager comments now reflect the correct date and time based on the logged-in user's timezone, providing clarity when reviewing past comments.

The Roster Multi Start Time alert has been implemented within Roster Manager to warn managers when an employee is already rostered for a future shift in a different location or department within a specified number of minutes.

An issue that prevented employee leave from being displayed correctly in People View has been resolved, ensuring all approved leaves are now accurately shown.

Users without access to the Template Manager were previously unable to create shifts within Roster Manager. This issue has now been fixed, allowing those users to create shifts as needed.

A new option has been added under Actions > Unassign > All Unavailable, allowing managers to easily unassign shifts for unavailable employees that overlap with their assigned shifts. This enhancement simplifies roster management and reduces scheduling conflicts.

When importing a template, you can now filter by Location and Department, making it easier to find and apply the correct template.

Custom Roster Fields

Admin > System Config > Custom Roster Fields

A permission issue has been resolved that required users to have both the Custom Roster and Shift Definition permissions enabled to access the Custom Roster configuration page

Language Support

We’ve added support for the Portuguese language, allowing users to select Portuguese as their preferred language. This enhancement supports our commitment to providing a more inclusive experience for our global user base.
