elementTIME release – 9.0 – minutes not decimal

Some users with odd duration’s of work were getting rounding issues. This was due to the rounding of decimal places and conversion to minutes so we fixed all this – because with plant and complex timesheets this starts to become an issue. Why did we need to fix this? Basically the more complex and the more entries become on timesheets the more needing to be accurate is important. For example:

If a user has a scheduled fortnight of 73.7 hours per fortnight and works 7.37 hours per day, it converts to be exactly 7 hours, 22 minutes and 12 seconds. As we we not forcing people to record seconds, it rounds to 7 hours and 22 minutes (or 7.36666… in decimal value).

If that user then works 10 days every fortnight, it brings them to 73 hours and 40 minutes. Which when you convert to a decimal value, it will bring a total of 73.67 hours (or 73.6666…).

So if when converting the current schedule of 73.7 hours to hour format, it will creates an amount of exactly 73 hours and 42 minutes (2 minutes more than their worked hours described above).

Updated reminder notification triggers to increase performance

We now ‘book’ notifications triggers daily, so they won’t be checked as often if not necessary and we created new fields in tenant settings with new connection for reading notifications, triggers, etc

Allowed ability to move some modals

Some users requested the ability to move modals out of the way when working on timesheets – we thought that made sense so you can now drag the following modals around as much as you want.

• Leave request modals
• Schedule modals
• Time-sheet time recording modals
• Time-sheet daily summary modals
• Time-sheet allowance recording modals

We amended the staff management search

Users can now select what status of user they want displayed as an ‘either, or’ filter not just an ‘and’ filter. (basically if you just want to see inactive users you can – you don’t have to view active and inactive). We also improved the search field to search across more values and enhanced the datatables.

Applied changes on department modal

There is now a toggle to hide non-direct members and managers from departments and we improved the layout and added some fixes for better performance.

Added a default comment / reason content to leave type requests

You can now set a default comment or reason for leave requests against the leave type and even personalise it when assigning leave to a user.

Altered the penalty page on timesheets to show the hours (actual) per penalty type on summary

Umm exactly what it says 🙂
