Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Faster load time for Role view

To improve page load speed for teams managing complex rosters, shift comments now load only when users click the comment icon on a shift tile. This reduces the amount of data fetched upfront while still maintaining access to key notes and annotations as needed.

Department and role prefilled on Add Shift

When adding shifts with Group by Location enabled, the Department and/or Role will now auto-populate if only one option is available for the selected Location. This reduces manual entry, streamlines shift creation, and helps ensure data consistency.

Improved performance for large datasets

We’ve optimised system performance for Role View and Roster Notifications by compressing large datasets across both Roster Manager and Template Manager. This reduces bandwidth usage and improves responsiveness for teams managing extensive rosters.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheet Admin

Faster bulk authorisation

Bulk authorisation now uses a single preloaded dataset to check for overlapping times, reducing database calls. This enhances system performance during high-volume approvals and saves time for payroll and rostering teams.

Improved error handling for active timesheets during bulk edit

A new warning message appears when active (in-progress) timesheets are included in a bulk edit selection. This prevents internal errors and helps users better understand which timesheets can be edited safely.

Better handling for deleted shift types

If a timesheet is linked to a deleted shift type, the system now displays a clear warning instead of failing with an error. This improves reliability and helps administrators quickly identify and correct outdated or invalid records.

Home

Home > My Team

Faster load time for My Team overview

We’ve improved how the My Team dashboard retrieves and processes data, reducing the time it takes for managers to view their team’s current status. This allows for quicker insights and more responsive decision-making.

Messages

Employee > Messages

Messaging screen performance improvements

The Messaging screen now loads significantly faster thanks to optimised message retrieval processes. This enhancement improves the overall user experience when sending or reviewing messages within the platform.

Reports

Reports > Payroll > Pay Comparison

Corrected format for Preview Payroll Data

We’ve resolved an issue where using the Preview Payroll Data option with Period Totals generated a Comparison-format report. This fix ensures the report is delivered in the correct plain Preview format, giving payroll teams a clean, high-level view of employee totals without unnecessary comparison data.

REST API

Integrations > REST API

Get Templates endpoint – Last Edit filter

The Get Roster Templates endpoint now supports a Last Edit filter, allowing connected systems to retrieve only templates or items updated since the last sync. This enhancement reduces integration load, speeds up processing, and improves efficiency for external data syncs.
