We’re excited to announce the release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.58, which introduces targeted improvements to rostering workflows, alerts, shift bidding, and more. These updates enhance clarity in scheduling, prevent duplicate records, and improve integration and reporting, all while supporting faster and smarter daily operations for your team.

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 7 August 2025
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, 20 August 2025

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Clearer leave alerts now show actual leave period

Previously, the Leave alert displayed only the full shift time, making it difficult to see how leave impacted the roster. The alert now shows both the leave period and the rostered shift time, making it easier to assess any overlap and adjust staffing as needed.

Accurate qualification checks for shift alerts

We’ve corrected a scenario where the Qualification Check alert could incorrectly appear in the notification panel, even when employees had the required qualifications. This ensures alerts are shown only when relevant, reducing unnecessary noise and improving focus for schedulers.

Default Area now visible in Fill Shift

The Fill Shift function now includes an optional Default Area column, accessible via the column selector. When enabled, it displays the employee’s default area from their profile, making it easier to assign shifts confidently, especially in multi-role or multi-area environments.

Avoid unnecessary errors when bulk editing shifts with no breaks

An incorrect validation message Break falls outside the shift time was previously shown when bulk editing shifts without a break. This has been fixed, allowing smoother bulk edits and reducing confusion when managing break-free shifts.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

Shifts now sort by start and end time

We’ve improved shift sorting in Template Manager to make reviewing large templates more intuitive. Shifts are now sorted first by start time and then by end time, so shifts with the same start time display in proper chronological order. This matches the ordering in Roster Manager’s Role View for a consistent scheduling experience.

Clocking

Humanforce Web > Clocking

Break prompts now reflect rostered entitlements

When clocking out, the break prompt will now only appear if a break is actually due, based on the roster or break schedule. When shown, break times are automatically pre-filled, reducing unnecessary prompts, saving time, and helping ensure compliance with break entitlements.

Shift Bidding

Employee > Shift Bidding

Shifts before employee start date are hidden

Employees will no longer see shifts dated before their official start date when bidding. This prevents bidding on ineligible shifts, streamlines the bidding process, and supports compliance with employment start rules.

REST API

Integrations > REST API

New endpoint for Roster Labour Group data

A new REST API endpoint is now available to retrieve Roster Labour Group details, including manager information. This enhancement supports developers and integration partners by enabling richer reporting and deeper integration with roster structures.
