Important announcements
Reminder: Daylight Saving Time has begun - ensure your Tasks & Stories stay on schedule!
DST took effect in North America on Sunday, March 9th. Clocks were moved forward an hour at 2 AM local standard time, meaning that at 2 AM that evening, the clocks read 3 AM local daylight time. However, in most of Europe, DST will not take effect until March 30th.
Daylight Saving Time adjustment - March 9th
At this time, any tasks or stories that you had scheduled to send in Quinyx Employee Hub (Frontline Portal) would have had their send time and due time automatically adjusted. This included recurring tasks.
For example, a task that was scheduled to be sent at 9 AM would have been sent at 10 AM.
If you wanted tasks/stories to continue to have the same send/due times following the March 9th DST change, we recommended that you update the tasks/stories within the scheduled collections prior to them being sent on March 9th. If the task was part of a series of recurring tasks, the task should have been updated after the previous recurrence of that task.
For example, if you wanted a task to continue to send at 9 AM, then you should have edited the send time to 8 AM prior to March 9th. When the DST change came, the send time would have been updated to 9 AM.
Daylight Saving Time adjustment - March 30th
On March 30th, DST will take effect in most of Europe, and clocks will move forward one hour at 2 AM local standard time in Quinyx Employee Hub (Frontline Portal).
Suppose you previously modified any scheduled tasks or stories before March 9th to maintain consistency in send times. In that case, you will need to adjust them back to their original times on/before the European DST change on March 30th.
For example, if the task was initially scheduled at 9 AM and then adjusted to send at 8 AM before March 9th to account for the U.S. DST shift, it will now be sent at 8 AM after the European DST change. It means the time would have to be changed back to 9 AM.
Steps to revert changes made on March 9th
- Identify tasks/stories that had their send times adjusted before March 9th.
- Update the send times to their original intended times before March 9th.
- For example, if the task send time was changed to 8 AM before March 9th, it should now be set back to 9 AM.
- Ensure that any recurring tasks reflect the correct time moving forward.
Now, tasks and stories will return to their correct scheduling.

New functionality
Daily notes
We're excited to introduce a new functionality that allows you to add notes on a specific day within the Schedule view. This functionality is designed to improve your planning process by enabling you to easily document key events, tasks, reminders, and ideas tied to specific dates, making it easier to stay organized and focused.
Benefits
- Streamlines your workflow by keeping all critical information directly associated with each specific day.
- Provides better organization and efficiency in managing daily schedules.
- Enhances collaboration by allowing team members to add notes on shared planning days.
How to find it in the Schedule view
- Navigate to the desired day/week/month view in the Schedule view.
- Click on the "Three dots" button located on the desired day and then select Edit daily note.
- The same action can be done using the top-right âThree dotsâ in the Schedule view.
- Select the date, type in your notes, and add checklists or important reminders as needed.
- Save the note, and it will be attached to the selected day.
- Access your note anytime by selecting the day from your calendar.
- The existing note can be edited or deleted at any time by changing the existing written text.
Additional details
- Notes are visible to all the managers who have access to a specific group and have at least read access on scheduling permission.
- To create/edit/delete notes, it's necessary to have write access on scheduling permission.
- Notes are saved on a group level, meaning that notes created in higher groups (district, unit) are not inherited by lower groups in the organization (units, sections).
Edit shift type and its properties on multiple shifts in the Schedule view
This release enhances our bulk actions functionality by introducing a new option when editing multiple shifts in the Schedule view.
With this new addition, you can now update the shift type with its connected properties inside the existing Bulk edit panel. All properties that can be connected with shift type configuration, like project, cost center, salary type rules, comment, etc., are now added to the panel as well, making the Bulk edit panel identical to the Edit panel of single shifts.
The default value of the shift type and all connected fields depend on the type of shifts that are selected to be edited in the Schedule view.
If you have selected shifts with identical values for all properties, then the panel will have those values preselected as the default.
- If you have selected shifts with different property values, the default value in the drop-down is called Keep as is. This option means that all selected shifts have multiple different values of properties. If these values remain selected in the drop-down, clicking on the Save button will not update shifts with any new values but will keep the original values of that property.
- These default values can always be changed by manually selecting one value, which will then be applied to all shifts that are being edited.
- By clicking on the âUndoâ button, you can go back to the original value that was the default when the panel was opened.
- Inheritance logic
- Similar to the editing of a single shift, inheritance rules are also applied to bulk editing.
- This means that all properties configured on the shift type will be inherited once that shift type is selected in the panel. Clicking on the âUndoâ button, you are able to go back to the original value that was the default when the panel was opened.
- What does it mean when Select automatically is displayed for agreements and cost centers?
- If Select automatically displays for agreements, that means that for every selected shift, the appropriate agreement will be selected according to the dates and active agreements on those dates. You can find additional details here.
- If Select automatically displays for cost centers, that means that for every selected shift, the appropriate cost center will be selected according to inheritance logic, and if a cost center is set on shift type, unit level, employee level, etc. You can find additional details here.
New functionality requiring configuration updates
Terms and Conditions
Quinyx has added support for tenant-specific terms and conditions.
You can find more information here about setting up terms and conditions in your organization.
Configuration
To activate Terms and Conditions, go to Account settings > Advanced Settings > Terms & Conditions.
The Terms and Conditions consist of a rich text editor to allow for linking and create a readable disposition of the text.
Secondly, you should decide for how long an acceptance should be valid. The value is based on days.
If you click the Save button for the first time, the updated terms will be saved, and the users will be forced to accept them at the next login.
If you update the terms, you will have the choice to save the changes. This is applicable when you do more minor corrections. Users bound for renewal or are new will be presented with the updated terms and conditions.
If you have significant changes that you would like to get new acceptance of from your whole user base, you click Save and enforce.
If you want to stop using this functionality, click the Delete button.
Web
When a user logs in for the first time, when the terms and conditions are updated, or when the user is bound for a renewal, the user will be prompted with the latest terms and conditions.
Mobile
We have also implemented support for "Terms and Conditions" in our mobile apps. When Terms and Conditions are set up in your customer, a "Terms & Conditions" page displays as a pop-up in the mobile app for all users the first time they log in or open the app after it has been set up.
To access the app, when the terms and conditions are activated and pop up, the user must confirm that they have read, consented to, and agreed to the terms and conditions. In order to get the terms and conditions pop up as a user, you need to have the latest version of the mobile app, 3.43.1 installed. If users have an older version of the app and terms and conditions are activated, the users on the older versions will be logged out and recommended that they install the latest version of the app before they can log in.
Updates and performance improvements
Tags follow-up improvements
To improve the search experience and allow users to better identify what tags and date frames have been searched, we have made the search panel keep the details of the data searched as long as the user stays in that view. This will be very beneficial when there are no values to return for a specific search.
However, if the user navigates to some other page (other than Tags follow-up report), the data that they selected in the search detail panel will be removed.
To accommodate and improve the experience when searching/visualizing details for long tag names, you can now see the full name when hovering on top of the respective tag.
Improved support for monitoring and editing shared employees' schedule
With this release, weâre continuing to improve the support of our software in allowing manager local managers to monitor and edit shared employees' schedules.
Chronological sorting of employeeâs same-day schedule items
As pointed out in the 0204 release, the away-group items of a given employee on any given day have not been sorted chronologically in line with same-group items. This means that, just like illustrated in the below picture, the following schedule items have so far been sorted chronologically only within their own grouping:
- Absences
- Absence requests
- Availability
- Shifts (including their punches)
- Punches that donât belong to any shifts
This has now been approved in a way that these items are sorted chronologically, regardless of their type of item:
Note that an exception to this is that all punches belonging to a shift will be displayed right after the shift.
The intention is for this improvement to make it easier for you to get an overview of what a given employeeâs day looks like when monitoring or assessing whether to edit their schedule.
Improved away group punch information
Just like todayâs behavior for current-group punches, the following information will now be displayed for each away-group punch:
- punch type name
- punch hour count
- punch start and end time
- Unit/Section name (for punches where shifts are based in a section, we will display the section name; otherwise, we will display the unit name)
Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue that caused employee metrics to display one hour less scheduled time than expected during the week of daylight saving.
- Resolved an issue with a broken link when navigating between the Time employee view and time card for attestation actions.

Redesign of the Frontline Portal - Phase 3
In this release, we're happy to announce that we are releasing the third phase of the new design for the Frontline portal that we announced in Version 0201. It's important to note that we will not be changing any functionality, only the look and feel.
We've also updated the calendar view (month and week) to incorporate the new colors, headings, and icons while refreshing the design with a background border. The Daysheet view has not been redesigned in this version but will hopefully be in the next version.
Additionally, we are updating the side menus, such as âFilters, âSortâ, and âLocationâ.
Category management in the all-in-one solution
In this version, we've implemented support for adding, editing, and deleting categories for the Frontline Portal in web.quinyx.com. To update Categories, you need to have the âAccount settingsâ permission under Account settings > Role management, a manager role on the tenant level, and Collaboration groups set up in your tenant.
Views and downloads
You can now track who has viewed and/or downloaded your files and folders.
Simply select the âviews and downloadsâ option from the context menu of your files and folders.
The sidebar will open, listing all users who have viewed and/or downloaded the file/folder.
You can export the list in either .xlsx or .csv format by selecting the three dots at the bottom of the sidebar.
Creator of folder able to see all content
Previous to this release, it could sometimes be difficult to tell whether a shared folder you (or your peers) had created was empty or not. Users that the folder had been shared with could create/upload their own folders/files, and these were not visible to the creator (and peers) of the original folder i.e. the folder seemed empty, but was not.
You can now see all of the files and folders that sit within a shared folder you (or your peers) have created by selecting the âUploaded by othersâ filter option when inside a folder you (or your peers) have shared.
Once the filter is applied, you will be shown all files and folders created by users outside of your group.
If a folder 'uploaded by others' is public i.e. not private, you can see all of the folder details and open it to view any contents. Click on the avatar to see who has created the folder.
If a folder âuploaded by othersâ is private, you will be shown a redacted version of the folder, with the title hidden and the creatorâs name. You cannot open this folder to view its contents.
Bug fixes
- Resolved an issue with the Frontline Portal reporting pipeline, causing it not to work properly previously.
New Quinyx HelpDocs content
- None at this time.
SOAP API / Web service updates
This is an early announcement that with Version 0211, we will introduce new fields in our SOAP Web Services; specifically, new fields will be added to wsdlUpdateAgreementsV2. These changes are being made in order to enable you to configure different Nominal hours setup using SOAP Web Services. More details will be shared closer to the release date.
Please make sure to forward this information to the party within your company responsible for integrations.
