What's New - January 20, 2025
ID Fields Added to Employee Timesheet Export
What is it?
We added two new columns to your Employee Timesheet Export
- Timeline ID: A unique tag for each timesheet line
- Time Entry ID: Links directly to the actual time entry
You'll find these new columns right after the "Leave Type" column when you run a Detailed export.
Why does it matter?
- For Data Integrity: Each timesheet line now has a unique identifier, making it easier to track and audit specific entries
- For System Integration: Organizations using automated imports must update their processes to handle the new columns
- For Troubleshooting: The direct reference to time entry data simplifies problem resolution and data validation
- Go to Time & Tasks > Time Reports > Export Data
- Choose "Detail" (not Summary) on the export screen to see the new columns
- Look for the new ID columns after "Leave Type"
- They'll have numbers like Timeline ID: 4454 and Time Entry ID: 14342
Using automated imports? Here's your quick to-do list:
- Check your import setup
- Add these new columns to your mapping
- Test it out before running it for real
- Remember: Only your Detail exports need updating
Show Password Option on Login Screen
What is it?
We've added a "Show Password" option to the login screen - just click the eye icon next to the password field to reveal what you're typing.
Why does it matter?
- Helps prevent account lockouts from mistyped passwords
- Makes it easier to spot typing mistakes before submitting
- Especially helpful if you're using a complex password or typing on mobile devices
How does it work?
- Type your password as usual in the password field
- Click the eye icon to toggle between hiding and showing your password
- Verify you've typed it correctly before hitting login
Note: The password will be hidden again by default each time you return to the login screen.
Approval Scenarios for Leave Requests
What is it?
A flexible way to set up single or multi-level approvals for leave requests at the office level.
Why does it matter?
- Simpler setup using office-level scenarios instead of employee-by-employee approval rights
- Creates a consistent approval experience across all request types
- Easier to maintain as your organization changes
How does it work?
Prerequisites
- Handle any existing leave requests (approve or reject them)
- Uncheck "Use Initial Manager Approval Function?" under Set Up Files> Approval & Posting Settings.
