Team View – New Feature

Schedule > Team View

We’re excited to introduce Team View — a new way for employees to quickly and easily see who they are working with each day.

Accessible only when permissions have been enabled by assigned administrator/s, Team View displays employees working at the same location and department. 

Team View provides greater visibility across teams for employees so that they can be encouraged to pick up additional shifts with colleagues, and also increasing overall workforce productivity.

 

Schedule Screen Improvements

We are excited to share some Schedule screen improvements that will assist by delivering greater usability, efficiency, and clarity, ensuring a more intuitive and productive experience for all users each day. 

• Expanded Shift Detail Screens: Shift Detail Screens now include additional fields such as shift type, event location, comments, and custom roster data. This provides users with comprehensive information at a glance, enabling better-informed decision-making.
• Improved User Interface & Clarity: The Shift cards and Calendar UI have been updated to enhance readability. This ensures users can quickly identify the current day and navigate their schedules more efficiently.
• Net Shift Hours: Net Shift Hours are now displayed directly on shift tiles, eliminating the need for additional clicks and saving time during shift management.
• Shift Bid Withdrawal Process: Withdrawing from a shift bid now triggers a confirmation popup and updated bid language. Users are automatically redirected back to the Schedule screen afterward, streamlining the process and minimising disruptions to workflow.
• Schedule Screen Fix: A previous issue causing the Schedule screen to display only the current day’s data by default has been resolved (Android devices). Users can now seamlessly access and review schedules for any date without manual adjustments.
• iOS-Specific Calendar Sync: iOS users will experience smoother navigation thanks to improved synchronisation between the calendar view and the bottom day view. This ensures consistent data display and a more intuitive interface.
• Visual Clarity for Non-Working Days: Grey/Black Out tiles, which indicate non-working days, are now displayed outside of the Leave section. This update provides clearer visual differentiation between leave days and other types of non-working days, reducing confusion.
• Permission-Based Availability Screen: The availability screen will now be hidden for users without permission to manage availability This ensures a clutter-free interface and reduces confusion for users without access to set availability.

Clocking Enhancements

• Location Accuracy Improvements: Clocking in now provides enhanced accuracy for users with geo-fence enabled, ensuring precise location capture when starting work. This minimises errors and ensures compliance with location-based shift requirements.

General UI and Performance Improvements

• Leave Request Permissions: The 'Allow Advanced Leave Requests to be Made' permission is now strictly enforced. Users without this permission can no longer enter custom leave hours.
• Roster Comment Visibility: Roster comments are now hidden on the clocking screen for users without the 'View Roster Comments' permission. This ensures sensitive or irrelevant information remains inaccessible to unauthorised personnel.
• General UI & Performance Enhancements: Minor UI issues, such as incorrect net shift hours displayed on shift offers (Android), have been resolved. Android users will also see corrected net shift hour calculations on the Clocking screen, ensuring accurate data representation
• Timesheet Improvements: Timesheet creation and editing have been streamlined across Android and iOS. Fixed issues include incorrect date population and error messages, resulting in a smoother, more reliable timesheet management experience.
