Quick view of the number of employees in departments

In the Organization section, under the List of departments tab, we have added a new column called Employees. This column provides information about the number of employees in each department. By default, the column is enabled and visible in the table.

With the new Employees column, you can quickly check the number of employees assigned to each department in the organization, including identifying how many users are inactive, which simplifies team management.

Steps to access the column:

  • Go to the Organization menu > Click on the List of departments tab
  • Locate the Employees column visible in the table

Easy access to information about enabled two-factor authentication for employee accounts

In the Organization section, under the Users tab, we have added the option to enable the Two-factor authentication column. This column is available in the column menu and allows you to review which employees have two-factor authentication enabled.

This new feature in the Organization section makes it easy to identify employees using two-factor authentication – an additional layer of account security in case of password loss. This functionality helps monitor the security status in your company, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and enhancing system security.

The column is not enabled by default and must be activated manually.

Steps to enable the column:

  • Go to the Organization menu > Click on the Users tab
  • Click the column menu icon next to any column
  • Select columns from the menu > Check the option Two-factor authentication

The information will now be visible in the table column.

Detailed view of employee contract types in the Organization section

The Contract type column in the Users tab under the Organization section has been updated to display detailed information about each employee’s contract type.

Previously, this column only indicated whether an employee had an employment contract (yes/no). With the update, you can now quickly review the specific contract type, verify its accuracy, and analyze how contracts are distributed across departments. This enhancement simplifies employment management and analysis.

The Contract Type column is not enabled by default and needs to be activated manually.

Steps to enable the column:

  • Go to the Organization menu > Select the Users tab
  • Click the column menu icon next to any column
  • Select columns from the menu > Check the option Contract type

Information about employee contract types will now be visible in the table.

Adding a time registration action from the Home Page calendar

In the Calendar view on the Home Page, we’ve introduced the ability to register working hours directly.

This option is now available through the expanded Add action menu (plus icon “+”) for a specific day of the week and the selected employee. Once selected, a time registration form appears above the calendar, similar to clicking a specific date or day in the calendar view. The recorded working hours will align with the configuration mode assigned to the employee.

This update makes registering employee working hours more intuitive. Supervisors and HR teams can now manage time tracking directly from the Home Page, without needing to navigate to the time registration section.

Steps to use the feature:

  • Go to the Home Page
  • Navigate to the Weekly Calendar view > Choose an employee from the list
  • Click Add “+” (plus icon for the desired day/date)
  • Enter the working hours in the form displayed above the calendar

Color-coded request statuses on the Home Page for easier review and action

In the Last Changes section of the Home Page, tabs such as To Cancel, To Approve, and To Settle now include a color-coded icon for each request, reflecting its current status. These color codes are consistent with those used in other parts of the system (e.g., calendar and request statuses), ensuring a unified and intuitive user experience.

This update enables employees and supervisors to immediately identify requests requiring action, saving valuable time during the review process.

Status color codes:

  • Blue – Request submitted
  • Light orange – Request awaiting edits
  • Dark orange – Request requiring corrections
  • Green – Request approved
  • Red – Request canceled

The above image shows the view from a employee account.

Clicking on a document in this section allows you to quickly access its details and take necessary actions directly from a pop-up window.

  • Go to the Home Page menu
  • Go to the Last Changes section
  • Check the request color or icon – its color corresponds to the request status
  • Click on the document to open a pop-up window and perform the required action (e.g., approval, correction, or editing)

Direct time entry editing in the Timesheet report

The Timesheet report now allows direct editing of work hours by clicking on the blue link representing the recorded time range. In the previous system version, editing was done by selecting the pencil icon next to the hours. This update removes unnecessary graphical elements, making the table view cleaner and easier to use.

This change enables faster verification and updates of work hours. Simply select the employee, locate the desired day, and click on the recorded hours. Any changes can then be saved using the Save button.

  • Navigate to the Work time menu > Reports
  • Click on the Reports tab
  • Find the time range you want to edit in the table, and click the link in the Work time (from-to) column
  • Make the necessary changes in the editing window and confirm by clicking Save
