Other improvements
Smaller fixes, performance improvements and UX details from recent releases.
- ImprovementDesktop
Send birthday greetings to your team
From the birthday widget on the dashboard you can now send birthday greetings to your employees with one click. Of course you can customise the message before sending.
- ImprovementDesktop
Absences in the employee plan export
Absences are now included in the plan export too. Better overview, simpler planning, faster decisions.
- ImprovementDesktop
Auto-remove employees from shifts during paid absences
For paid absences, employees are now automatically removed from all shifts in the absence period. Manual selection is no longer needed.
That simplifies the workflow and prevents employees staying on shifts despite an approved absence.
- ImprovementDesktop
Control who sees the working-time account
Working-time account permissions are now split into access levels: myself, same work areas, same locations or all. You decide who can see which account information.
The setting applies to shift assignment, account columns and exports in the employee list, as well as payroll insights in the employee profile.
- ImprovementDesktop
Set probation periods faster
When creating or editing an employee you can now pick predefined probation periods — for example 3 or 6 months. No more manual date calculation.
- PerformanceDesktop
Asynchronous employee list
The employee list now loads asynchronously — just like the working-time overview. Smoother experience, especially for larger teams.
- ImprovementDesktop
First work area selected automatically
When creating a new shift, the first available work area is now pre-selected. One less click in daily scheduling.
- ImprovementDesktop
Plan export with layout preview
The plan export now shows preview images of available layouts directly in the modal — so you know exactly what you are exporting.
- ImprovementDesktop
Scroll position preserved in week and month views
When switching between work areas in the week or month view, scroll position is now saved. The plan no longer jumps back to the top — especially helpful for larger teams.
- Bug fixDesktopMobile
Absence hours bug fixed
Hours for absences paid according to the schedule were sometimes incorrectly set to 0. That is now fixed — the correct hours are shown and counted again.
Important: calculation is always based on the originally planned shift.
We still recommend: remove employees from shifts in the final step of the absence request.
