New Release! Humanforce Cloud Workforce Management - Version 6.0.48
We’re excited to announce Humanforce Cloud Workforce Management Version 6.0.48, which includes improvements to display options in Roster Manager and Template Manager, and better default filtering behaviour in Timesheets. We’re also excited to provide early access to syncing New Zealand bank account details across Humanforce HR, WFM and Humanforce Payroll.
Read on for all the details!
Release Schedule
- Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 20th March 2025.
- All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.48 overnight on Wednesday, 2nd April 2025.
Roster Manager and Template Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager/Template Manager
New option to show Event Export Code in shift tiles
A new option for Event Export Code has been added to the Shift Detail Settings in Roster Manager and Template Manager. This allows you to view Event Export Code within the shift tile.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
New option to show Employee Code
From Shift view, you are now able to add a column for Employee Code within the Role summary window.
Accurate Group By Location
We've fixed an issue in People view when Group By Location is applied. Employees were being displayed within all locations, instead of only the locations they were assigned to.
Accurate Hours Required calculation and display of Unavailable or on Leave warning
We've resolved an issue that was occurring within the Hours Required warning where non-attended shifts were incorrectly being included within the calculation of total hours worked.
We've resolved an issue where the employee Unavailable or on Leave warning was not shown on the shift details. Now you will see details of the warning within the shift if the employee is rostered during a period of leave or unavailability, as well as in the Alerts panel.
Template Manager
Management > Rostering > Template Manager
Accurate break validations after Date Effective is edited
We've fixed an issue that was occurring if the Date Effective date in a Template was edited. Previously this would cause incorrect break validations for overnight shifts where the break occurred after midnight. Now all shifts will validate as expected and successfully import into the roster.
Filter options now displayed as expected
We've fixed an issue where the Event and Function filters were not displaying any options to select when clicking on the dropdown.
Timesheet Admin
Timesheets > Timesheets
Default filtering for improved performance
To improve performance, Unauthorised & No-Shows is now the default filtering applied on page load, when:
- your browser doesn't have memory of the last filter you used on this page, or
- the browser recalls your last view was All Timesheets or All Timesheets & No Shows.
We’ve made this change because the Unauthorised & No-Shows view is optimised for the most common Timesheet workflows, and will contribute to faster page performance.
Improvements to splitting timesheets that cross over midnight
We’ve improved the business logic within splitting timesheets that cross over midnight. When split, any splits which fall entirely within the second day were having the DateStart and PayDate values of the original timesheet. This has been rectified so their DateStart and PayDate values are updated to match the second day’s date.
Payroll (Workforce Management)
Export to Sybiz Visipay Payroll added
Humanforce Cloud now supports exporting pay runs to Sybiz Visipay Payroll (Pay Package ID:SYBIZ01). After processing a pay run, you can view it and then select Sybiz Visipay Payrun Export from the Export dropdown to download the data in the appropriate format, streamlining integration with third-party payroll systems.
New option to use Custom folder for exports to SFTP
Customers using the Generic Payroll Config now have the option to use a Custom folder if they have the Export to Humanforce SFTP setting enabled in their Pay Company settings. This can make it faster for 3rd party payroll systems to download the file from a specific location. Please contact Humanforce Support if you are interested in using this option to ensure the shared folder mapping is correct.
Humanforce Payroll
Early access to syncing New Zealand bank account details now available
With this feature, your New Zealand region employees are able to setup their New Zealand bank accounts in HR and have it sync'd through to Workforce Management and (via Workforce Management) to Humanforce Payroll. This feature is now available for early-access customers. Please reach out to your Humanforce contact to enable it in your site.
REST API
We have improved the logic when using POST for a clock out request in the restful API. Specifically to only accept UTC Datetime provided in ClockInTimeUtc and ClockOutTimeUtc fields for clocking requests. If those fields are not provided, we'll use the server UTC time. You can find more information via https://[your-subdomain].humanforce.com/swagger/ui/index (just replace the [your-subdomain] with your company's humanforce domain.
