We're happy to advise the release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.83. This release delivers a concentrated set of reliability improvements across Roster Manager and Fill Shift, timesheet administration fixes spanning editing, filtering, and sorting, and a new Comments field for Workforce Analytics reporting.

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Friday, 14th August, 2026.
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, 26th August, 2026.

Rostering & Templates

See bids and offers in your local time when using Fill Shift

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

The Bid/Offer Time column in Fill Shift now converts bid and offer timestamps to the viewing user's local device time. Previously, this column could display the raw stored time without adjusting for time zone, which may have shown a bid or offer time that appeared earlier or later than when it actually occurred. This gives managers a more accurate picture of when employees responded to a shift.

Clearing stale shift offers when unassigning a shift

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Unassigning an employee from a shift now clears that shift's existing offers and bids, so Fill Shift and Bid Manager no longer show outdated accept or decline statuses for a shift that has since reopened. This keeps Fill Shift and Bid Manager focused on genuinely available candidates, whichever method is used to unassign the shift.

Reassign Shift & entering leave timesheet is more flexible on authorisation permission checks

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Reassigning a published shift and creating a leave timesheet now only auto-checks the "Authorised" checkbox when the user's access level allows auto-authorisation for leave timesheets added during the reassign workflow. Previously, the dialog assumed the user would authorise the timesheet and saving could be blocked if they did not have permission.

Fill Shift – Improved calibration of the "Shifts + Leave" values

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

When reviewing candidates in the Fill Shift flow, the "Shifts + Leave" count shown has been updated to count only timesheets with a leave shift type, alongside rostered shifts. Previously, this count may have included other authorised timesheets in the pay period, inflating the figure with ordinary work timesheets that aren't leave. This provides managers with a more accurate view of an employee's total commitments within a pay period, supporting better workload balancing.

Roster Manager – better handling of near-identical alerts

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

We have improved the stability of Roster Manager when handling multiple active alerts of the same restriction type, such as Employee Role Restriction. This update ensures that all relevant alerts are correctly processed and displayed, providing managers with comprehensive validation support without interruption.

Staff Availability – actions menu more accessible on wide screens

Management > Rostering > Staff Availability

The kebab menu on the Staff Availability page now stays fixed alongside the table as you scroll, rather than requiring you to scroll right to reveal it. This makes shift and availability actions easier to reach on narrower screens or when many columns are displayed.

Clocking, Timesheets & Breaks

Timesheet Admin – smarter handling of inline edits on overnight shifts

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

This update addresses a case where editing the Start after the End field had already been adjusted, for an overnight shift, could leave the timesheet spanning more than 24 hours.

The grid's inline editor now checks the existing End time and repositions it as needed, keeping the timesheet within a single valid overnight span, ensuring entries stay consistent with the same overnight logic applied in the full editor.

Sorting timesheets by Award Profile

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

The Award Profile column in Timesheet Admin can now be sorted in ascending or descending order. Previously, clicking to sort this column may not have reordered the timesheet list by award profile value, regardless of whether timesheets were grouped.

Reporting & Analytics

Printed Employee Rosters are now more compact and easier to read or share

Reports > Roster > Roster by Employee

The Roster Report by Employee has a tighter, more compact layout, reducing excess white space so more of the roster fits on each printed or exported page. This brings the web report closer in line with the equivalent Back Office report that many customers — particularly sites printing rosters for noticeboards — are used to.

Workforce Analytics – Comments field added for Roster Templates

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

The Roster Templates data source in Workforce Analytics now includes a Comments field, so comments captured on roster template and master template shifts can be added to custom WFA reports and dashboards. Comment values are only visible to users with permission to see comments on the relevant shift, keeping reporting aligned with existing view permissions.

Payroll, Costing & Awards

Unlock timesheets directly in Payroll for editing

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Users with permission to change a timesheet's lock state can now see and use the Lock control when editing a timesheet from the Payroll screen. Previously, this control didn’t appear in the editor for anyone, preventing other fields from being edited until the timesheet was unlocked elsewhere. This lets payroll teams unlock and adjust a processed timesheet in one place, without leaving the Payroll screen.
