Chart View, sorting

ENHANCEMENT

Until recently the chart view could only be sorted by Name. There is now a dropdown option enabling you to sort by Job or Location.

Employee Availability

REVISION

The main screen for Availability updates by casual staff has been revised and simplified.

• Fixed Day off now shows as NOT Available
• Available and Part-Available now show as I CAN work, with Part-Availables having timings with it.
• The Calendar view reflects these new terms.

There is now another way for staff to update their availability. It utilises the edit diary popup window. It's very simple to use.



WHO DOES THIS AFFECT?
Rotas with casual staff who update their availability.

Employees available for overtime

NEW FEATURE

Do you sometimes have overtime shifts to fill? Not sure who wants to do them? Now your staff can signify they are willing to work overtime on days they specify. They do this with a new item in the staff's Personal Diary Edit window.

If an employee checks the box, an entry for Part Available is created for that day, regardless of whether a shift has been given to them or not. For example, it could be a weekend day, that would otherwise be a rest day.

NOTE: This option is specifically designed for permanent staff. The availability of Casual/Contractor staff is handled separately. See other entries in this blog.

Calendar - Just me!

ENHANCEMENT

To see only your own working schedule in the calendar, simply check the Just Me box.

(Unchecking it will revert to the full group calendar.)

Group notes in Calendar

NEW FEATURE

In addition to Company-wide and Personal notes, the Calendar can now show Group notes.



Here's an example:

You're using groups for 'Admin' and 'Operations'. If a person is in one of those groups he will see their notes in his calendar. (They're in Green - Green for Groups!)

Editing group comments:

This is done by clicking a calendar date. If a person is permitted to alter group comments, an edit box will appear.



You can determine which user levels can add/amend group notes. By default, this is user level 1 only. To change this go to the group edit page and you'll see the option.

Week View

The Week View is now available to level 2 users. The information is limited to view only and without the broadcast and other feature.

WHAT TO DO:

Nothing. Level 2 users will see the Weekly view on their tab of views.

Suggestion Box: EWTD report

A report to show possible violations in EWTD (RB).

This is in programming right now.
