Important information
Update! Notice of Interest functionality
After careful consideration and recognizing that the approaching end of the year and holiday season posed challenges for our customers to meet the initial timeline, we have chosen not to proceed with the previously communicated plan to end the Notice of Interest (NOI) functionality in December 2023.
Instead, we have decided to extend the end-of-life date for NOI to the end of Q1 2024, specifically until March 31, 2024.
During this extended period, we encourage all our customers to transition to using the Availability functionality. Availability is a more user-friendly feature that caters to a broader range of use cases compared to Notice of Interest. Some noteworthy capabilities of the Availability functionality include the ability to convert an availability item into a shift in the Schedule view of the Quinyx web app. Additionally, Quinyx supports sections with availability and multi-selection of both units and sections when creating availability as a user. Users can see, create, edit, and delete their own availability hours using our mobile apps.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition period. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.
End of life of the Classic and mobile SSO by March 31, 2024
Quinyx has decided that the support for the old SSO configuration (Classic and Mobile) will be removed during 2024.
New configurations are already available in the Manager Portal, and you'll now only need one configuration for all Quinyx applications. We recommend that customers still using the old configuration start planning to set up the new configuration.
The new configuration provider setup supports either SAML 2 or OPEN ID standards.
- General information: SSO basics
- Azure: SAML single sign on and OPEN ID single sign on

Updates and performance improvements
Variable visibility improvement
Currently, when a variable is added to a display group, by default it is set to invisible for both the Forecast page and Schedule page. This requires users to make an additional step to set the variable visibility. We have made some improvements by setting the default visibility on the forecast page for all the newly created variables but keeping it invisible on the Schedule page, as not all variables should be visible.
Improvement of editing value of forecast configuration in the forecast or schedule page
Currently, users can choose to replace an existing value with a new value. When a time period is selected that overlaps multiple time stamps, that single value entered is equally distributed across all time stamps.
We found that this can require a user to spend a lot of time making the adjustments while also potentially having to manually calculate which value should be entered to get the correct value in each of the buckets. Therefore, in this release, we've made improvements to the forecast table and schedule statistics by enabling users to adjust values by selecting between dividing a value evenly or applying a value to all lower time intervals of a selected time frame.
Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue that caused overlapping shifts to be created despite having settings in the agreements disallowing overlapping shifts.
- Resolved an issue that prevented changing the start time of a shift unless both start and end time was changed.
- Resolved an issue that caused the validation for exceeded nominal hours in the schedule period to show the wrong predicted number of scheduled hours.
- Resolved an issue that caused absence requests to be displayed in an incorrect time zone.
- Resolved an issue in Messenger where users ended up in the wrong channel when opening Messenger from a push notification in certain cases.
- Resolved an issue that caused managers not to be able to add a role to a user with a date back in time.

SOAP API / Webservice updates
- None at this time.
- No endpoints are currently deprecated and planned for removal.Click here to view the new Quinyx WFM Web Service documentation. You can find even more web services info here.We encourage all of our customers to make use of our APIs to maintain data and to make sure that information is up-to-date. To ensure the scalability of our APIs while growing our customer and user base, we've decided to add restrictions on the usage of our SOAP APIs. These restrictions will be enforced programmatically, which means we will enforce a limit on concurrent calls per customer to 10. You should expect response code 429 if you happen to exceed this limit, and you are recommended to implement a backoff retry mechanism to handle the limit. Note that the limit applies to SOAP only. When moving from SOAP to Rest over the coming years, any limits will be built into the API.
Please make sure to forward this information to the party within your company responsible for integrations.
