New functionality

Schedule and Base schedule

Re-rolling out a base schedule with Shift assignment on away unit requires approval enabled

In this release, we've made a correction to the re-roll out logic in base schedule; it’s only applicable IF: 

  1. An employee is shared to more than one unit and has rolled out shifts from a base schedule on an away unit.
  2. The unit setting Shift assignment on away unit requires approval is turned on.

Prior to version 0115, if a user re-rolled out a base schedule empty in order to delete the shifts already rolled out in the schedule, the shifts were not deleted in the schedule. With this release, we are changing this behavior so that the shifts will be deleted.

Hour count in panels for shift and punches

Now, you can see the number of hours in the detail panel for shifts and punches. The number of hours will be displayed next to the date and time header in the panel.

We encourage all our customers to make use of our APIs to maintain data and make sure that information is up to date. To ensure scalability of our APIs while growing our customer and user base, we have decided to add restrictions on usage of our SOAP APIs. These restrictions will be enforced programmatically and means that 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 following 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.
