What's New?
Uncovered Turns Table Changes
The Uncovered Turns Table on the Weekly Roster page has had a couple of changes to the rules around which turns are displayed, and to allow you to apply different sorting to the table.
When selecting an uncovered turn to be covered, the 'Select an Employee' table will now display:
- Previous Turns with a Planned Book On Date of the day before that of the selected uncovered turn
- Current Turns with a Planned Book On Date of the same day as the selected uncovered turn
- Next Turns with a Planned Book On Date of the day after that of the selected uncovered turn
This should mean that the list of turns in the Prev and Next columns are much more standardised.
Leave Management Enhancement - Edit Leave
The Employee Leave section has been updated with a new look and feel, including some additional information, and more importantly, to enable the editing of leave entries.
Leave entries and Days in Lieu allowance are now added via the buttons on this page so as to make more space for other information.
Existing Leave entries can now be edited by clicking on their row in the table.
Another addition to the employee's Leave page is the ability to view and edit leave outside the current contract period. The 'Contract Period' drop-down will include a list of all existing contracts for the employee, and selecting a different contract period will update the table to display the leave entries for that contract period.
Non-Diagram Descriptions
Diagrammed turns already have descriptions applied from the diagram. This change will enable users to add descriptions to Non-Diagrammed turns in the Weekly Rosters.
These descriptions will then be visible on the print view and in some reporting.
Base Roster Updates
It can sometimes be difficult to know which Base Roster relates to which Weekly Roster, so we've added the ability to open a print view of the Base Roster which was used for a Weekly Roster you are viewing. You'll find this new function within the Print View options menu.
It was also noted that the Modified By & Date information on Published Rosters is updated on the creation of a new Roster, making is difficult to keep track of who actually updated a Base Roster.
Published Base Rosters will now display "Published By" and "Published Date", whereas Unpublished Base Rosters will still display the "Modified By" and "Modified Date". This will mean that this information will not change on any Base Rosters once they are published.
Bug Fixes
Bug: Duplicate contracts created when adding leave to a future contract period.
Fix: When adding leave to future contract periods, ORS will now check for existing contracts before creating a new contract so as to avoid any potential duplication.
Bug: Zendesk Ref #117193 - Select an Uncovered Turn mouse icon is a hand.
Fix: The mouse icon has been updated to a finger to make it more obvious which employee you are selecting.
