Update! Notice of Interest functionality
After careful consideration, and recognizing that the approaching end of the year and holiday season pose 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

New functionality
Audit logs for shift unassignment requests
This is the third out of many planned additions to our new audit logs framework. As of this release, in addition to other shifts, shift bookings, and shift swaps audit logs, you will be able to search for shift unassignment request audit logs in Quinyx.
With this addition, Quinyx provides more information and a bigger picture for managers to understand if some shift changes are actually coming from connected shift requests. In future releases, we are planning to complete that picture by adding logs for one more shift request - Shift assignments on the away unit.
Searching for shift unassignment request audit logs inside the Adjust view panel follows the same logic as described in this article Audit logs (current) with the addition of the new “Item type” called “Shift unassignment”.
Navigating the logs search results in our audit logs table follows the same logic as described in this article Audit logs (current) with the following adjustments:
- Shift unassignment is a separate item, meaning it will have its own separate row inside the audit logs table.
- Inside the Timestamp column, Quinyx displays the date and time when a given action in Quinyx was carried out.
- Inside the Groups affected column, Quinyx displays the units and sections that were affected by the action in question.
- Inside the Item type column, Quinyx displays a new item type named Shift unassignment.
- Inside the Item column, Quinyx shows the details of the shift for which the shift unassignment was created. Shift details include [Start date] [Start time] [End time] [Shift type name].
- Inside the Action column, Quinyx displays actions taken on a shift unassignment request, and they fall into the following types: create, approve, deny, and delete.
- Inside the Action made by column, Quinyx displays who has carried out the action in question.
- Inside the Action made for column, Quinyx displays who was affected by the action in question.
- The shift unassignment item has no additional properties assigned, so this item type’s rows will not create any sub-tables on any action.

Updates and performance improvements
Distribution - By store recipient type update
Previously, the existing 'By store' recipient type in the distribution picker was distributing resources to all entities at the bottom of the hierarchy, which may not always be a store/gym. You told us this was a little confusing, so as of this release, the 'By store' option will now only select your stores/gyms.
Audience picker - copy and layout updates
We have made some minor adjustments to the copy on the final summary pages to give a more detailed summary of the recipients you have selected.
Minor layout changes to the picker are as follows:

Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue that caused a blank drop-down box to display while on the Audience viewer or Saved Audiences pages.
- Resolved an issue that prevented users from deleting an empty folder, which was attributed to an error message incorrectly stating, "Folder must be empty to delete."
- Resolved an issue where users received the error message "Notification not sent" when attempting to notify the audience of a change made to a sub-folder.
- Resolved an issue where the file navigation path was incorrect.
- Resolved an issue that allowed users above the author level to see resources when using the Superior visibility option during distribution.

SOAP API / Webservice updates
- No updates in this release.
- 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.
