Release Notes - July 16' 2024

Custom Availability of Leave Status

Users can now define custom availability statuses for leave types with "Available" or "Unavailable" options and a custom status text field. These statuses are displayed in employee profiles, view employees, dashboard team availability & calendars with changes reflected immediately. Default settings apply if no custom status is set. 

Display name changed in the working pattern

The display name "Eligible Overtime" has been changed to "Eligible for Overtime" in the working pattern settings.

A schedule submitted for approval will now appear on the "Tasks" page under the "Schedules Approval" tab. In addition to the schedules page, approvers can view details and take action from this tab.

Leave Accrual Balance Issue

Leave Accruals - Calendar Anniversary Issue

Employee Draft State Visibility

Resolved an issue where employees in a draft state were incorrectly shown in direct reports during the employee creation process.

Leave Attachment Issue

Resolved an issue where attachments were disappearing for multiple sick leave requests, affecting only the sick leave type. Previously, when users applied for sick leave and uploaded documents, these attachments would disappear upon submitting another sick leave request. This fix ensures that uploaded documents are now correctly displayed for each individual leave request, addressing the issue of missing attachments.

Leave Approval History

Enhanced visibility into leave approvals now displays the approver's name during the pending state and, upon approval, shows the employee name who processed the request. This improvement provides clear accountability and transparency for users regarding the approval status of their requests.

Plugin Support while downloading the letter requests ​

Previously, there was an issue with downloading .doc/.docx format letters where plugin data failed to load and display information. This issue has been resolved, and now plugins correctly load and display data when downloading letters.

Missing employees in the shift schedule employee panel

Previously, not all employees from the permitted audience were visible in the employee panel. This issue has been resolved, and now all available employees from the permitted audience are correctly listed.

Incorrect addition of hours while allocating employees to shift

There was an issue with how working hours were being calculated across weeks, leading to an error when an employee who was fully booked in one week was assigned shifts in the following week. This has now been resolved so that the calculation of working hours is limited to the specific week in question, preventing such errors from occurring.

Leave detection while employee assignment

Previously, an employee's leave was not detected when it overlapped with a shift by just one day at the beginning or end of the leave period. This issue has been fixed, and the system now prompts the user of any applied or approved leave when allocating an employee to a shift.
