Rostering & Templates

Pin and resize the Unassigned shifts section in People View

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

You can now pin the Unassigned shifts section at the top of the People View grid using the new pin icon toggle. When pinned, the section remains fixed at the top with its own scrollbar while you scroll through employee rows underneath, making it effortless to review unallocated shifts and drag them into employee schedules. You can also drag the bottom divider of the pinned section to adjust its height to suit your screen size.

Customise and reorder columns in Edit Shifts and Add & Assign modals

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager / Template Manager

The Edit Shifts and Add & Assign Shifts modals across Roster Manager and Template Manager now feature a Screen Settings control. Managers can choose exactly which columns appear and reorder them to match their workflow.

Column spacing has also been tightened and key headers, such as the Role column in Add & Assign, remain frozen, ensuring critical details like start times, finish times, and breaks can be viewed and edited without horizontal scrolling.

When opening Template Manager, the Active Only filter toggle is now switched on by default. This ensures the template list immediately displays only active templates, cutting through clutter and preventing accidental edits to inactive or historical templates. Your filter preference is also remembered when you leave and return to the page.

When copying a Labour Group to a date where an assigned Event or Function is no longer valid, Roster Manager now automatically unassigns the out-of-range Event or Function and displays a clear notification banner. Previously, copying labour groups always copied Event and Function, which could leave shifts attached to invalid event dates. Shifts are now safely copied with only valid event associations intact.

A new Expired visa option has been added to the Hide Employees filter in Advanced Search within Fill Shift (across both Roster Manager and Template Manager). This filter is enabled by default so managers immediately focus on eligible staff, while allowing the flexibility to uncheck the filter when reviewing overall workforce availability. In addition, visa expiry dates now consider an employee's visa valid through the end of the specified expiry day.

Expand or collapse all roster groupings in a single click

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

The Expand All and Collapse All toolbar controls are now available across all flat grouping types in Roster Manager, including Location, Department, Area, and Role views. Previously available only for Labour Groups, managers can now instantly expand or collapse all grouped sections at once, significantly accelerating navigation across large rosters.

Roster Manager now remembers your Sales Budget panel toggle choice. Whether you prefer to keep the Sales Budget panel open or collapsed, your preference remains, making your workflow faster, easier and more consistent.

To support large venues and complex operations, the maximum number of shifts that can be edited in a single bulk action has been increased from 500 to 2,000 shifts. Managers can now apply shift adjustments across entire operational rosters in one go without encountering batch threshold limits.

When generating or converting timesheets for leave types measured in days, timesheet duration validation now correctly respects the configured roster source hours. Previously, system validation could trigger a "no default hours" error if the shift times fell outside standard award profile hours, even when valid roster source hours were present. The validation logic now accommodates non-standard shift times, allowing timesheets to process smoothly.

When exporting payruns using the PayGlobal connector, leave pay types configured with Reduce Quantity now export strictly as dedicated leave transactions rather than outputting both a normal and a leave row. This eliminates duplicate records and prevents double-counting of employee hours downstream. In addition, date formatting has been strengthened so calendar months export reliably.
