Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
Introducing the “Today” Button in Roster Manager for Faster Navigation
In Roster Manager, you can now quickly return to the current date using the new Today button in the navigation toolbar. The button respects your current roster duration (such as one or two weeks) and starting day (for example, Monday), ensuring that today always appears within the first week of the view. This makes it easier to instantly orient yourself to the current schedule and continue planning shifts without manually navigating through the calendar.
Make Visa Expiry Alerts Restrictive for Stronger Compliance
You can now configure the Visa Expiry alert in Roster Manager and Template Manager to be restrictive. When enabled, any shifts assigned after an employee’s visa expiry date will be flagged as errors instead of warnings, providing a clear stop signal and helping prevent non-compliant rostering.
Pre-expiry reminders remain non-blocking, allowing you to plan ahead and address upcoming expiries without interrupting normal roster planning. This helps managers maintain strong visa compliance while still working efficiently when editing shifts individually or in bulk
Minimum Shift Gap Alerts Now Align with Award Profile Settings
Minimum Shift Gap alerts in Roster Manager and Template Manager now align with the “Apply shift gap rule only for shifts starting on separate days” setting in the award profile.
When this setting is enabled, same-day shifts will no longer trigger Minimum Shift Gap warnings, while gaps between shifts on different days will continue to behave as expected, including support for employee overrides and split-shift configurations.
This update keeps alerts consistent with your award configuration and helps reduce unnecessary warnings, allowing rostering teams to focus on genuine compliance issues while planning legitimate same-day shift patterns.
Timesheets and Clocking
Management > Timesheets > Timesheets
Consistent Authorisation Behaviour in Timesheet Editor
Saving a timesheet from the Edit Timesheet modal with the Authorised option selected will now ensure the timesheet remains authorised, as expected.
This update aligns the behaviour with the Authorise quick action, giving timesheet administrators a consistent and reliable experience when reviewing and updating timesheets. Admins can now confidently use either method while maintaining the correct authorisation status.
Employee Communications
Employee > Messages > Chat
Add All users when starting a new chat
When creating a new chat, you can now easily Add All or Remove all employees that match your chosen filters. This makes it easier to start team‑wide or location‑wide conversations, reducing the manual effort of selecting large groups one by one.
Cost Centre Mapping
Admin > Award Config > Cost Centre Mapping
Improved Editing Experience for Cost Centre Mapping
Updating a Cost Centre Mapping’s Name or Export Code no longer requires reassigning the mapping before saving. You can now save these changes directly using the Save action, making routine configuration updates quicker and easier.
The screen also includes safeguards to help prevent accidental changes to cost centre mapping scope, reducing the risk of unintentionally losing existing mapping assignments during updates.
Leave and Absences
Leave Approvals grid now handles attachments more reliably
Management > Availability > Leave Approvals
The Leave Approvals grid now loads more reliably when older leave attachments with potentially incomplete metadata are being returned. These records are handled more gracefully, ensuring the grid will continue loading without you needing to refresh the page, resulting in a more stable leave approval experience.
Consistent handling of excluded shift types in Leave Black-Outs
Admin > System Config > Leave Black-outs
The Leave Black-Outs edit modal now consistently retains excluded shift types when switching between Grey Out and Black Out block types.
This improvement prevents exclusions from being accidentally cleared, making it easier to adjust how leave appears on the roster while keeping your existing configuration intact.
Reporting and Analytics
Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics
Cost Codes now Included in the Timesheet Data (built-in) report
The Timesheet Data (built‑in) report now includes values in the Cost Code column when using the same filters as the Payroll Data with Cost Codes (built‑in) report. This brings the two reports into alignment and provides clearer visibility of cost allocations, supporting accurate reconciliation and analysis.
