Important information
End of life of the Notice of Interest functionality December 2023
We've decided that our legacy functionality called Notice of Interest will be discontinued at the end of December 2023. Therefore, we urge all our customers to use the Availability functionality instead of Notice of Interest as soon as possible. The availability functionality is more user-friendly and supports more use cases than the Notice of Interest functionality.
One function that availability supports is converting an availability item into a shift in the Schedule view of the Quinyx web app. Quinyx also supports sections with availability and multi-selection of both units and sections when creating availability as a user. We've implemented the possibility for users to see, create, edit, and delete their own availability hours in our mobile apps.
Advanced Analytics, scheduled downtime
Just adding a small note to say that on July 24th we have a planned downtime for our Advanced Analytics modules. This is just for a scheduled system upgrade, to ensure the best performance and support for all your analytics needs moving forward.
This does mean, though, that Advanced Analytics will unfortunately not be available that day - though it'll be back up and running again in no time!
Quinyx web app Version 0164
New functionality
Option for work days in Multiply quota by days ratio
In Version 0163, we added support to calculate Overtime methods (Overtime, Additional time, and Minus time) even if your employee changes their agreement during the schedule period!
In this release, we're adding the possibility to use 5 or 7 days as “work days” when you use the Multiply quota by days ratio calculation. The reason for having these two options specifically is that they are among the most used number of worked days.
Connecting variables to groups
Until now, variables and display groups were visible within all units and sections even in cases where there was no data for that variable, or for all the variables in the display group, for those units or sections. This has resulted in schedule statistics and forecasts being more difficult to maintain in cases where a lot of variables exist in the organization.
With this release, we've added a check to visualize only variables within groups where data exists on that variable. That means, if you don't see a newly added variable on a group, make sure to upload relevant data for that variable to make it visible.
Updates and performance improvements
Scheduling warning
The scheduling warning about the number of free days that an employee is entitled to by employee agreement has been updated to now reflect the actual values causing the warning to be triggered. For technical reasons for this rule, we are able to present only agreement value.
Example
UI update
For a better user experience and a better understanding of the logic behind agreement set up for an employee's minimum daily rest, we've added an explanation under the agreement settings. The logic behind the calculation has not changed.
Quinyx web app bug fixes
- Resolved an issue that caused shifts not to be restored correctly when deleting a part-time absence.
- Resolved an issue where users with a manager role but no employee role were unable to get access to the mobile apps functions. We now look at the specific manager's staff category permissions to determine which functions in mobile the user has access to.
- Resolved an issue with one of our external SOAP APIs: wsdlUpdateShiftTypes erroneously did not support updating/changing existing shiftTypeExtId.
