Hello Indigo users,
Would you believe it? This release missed April Fools' by just one day. Guess we’ll have to postpone announcing the launch of Shireburn: Space Academy 🚀 to another year!
Joking aside, this update introduces the new 'Home Address' column in the Employee Directory. The feature prioritises data privacy while giving you all of the information you need to surprise your top talent with a well-earned present in the mail. 🎁
There's a host of other improvements across the board. You know where to find the details. 😉⬇️

When sending allocations to payroll and previewing the error report, the generated report now includes a footer displaying the printed date and time.
In the Shift Preset screen, the Shift location field will only be visible if Device Manager is enabled.
We've ironed out an annoying quirk in Tasks where note settings were unintentionally resetting when updating the end date. They will now remain unchanged.
👨🏻💼 HR
Whether you need to arrange urgent medical assistance for an employee or send a well-deserved box of chocolates, the Employee Directory now includes a 'Home Address' 🏠 column with all of the information you need!
To ensure privacy, access to home addresses is strictly limited to authorised personnel. A new setting (off by default): Show Employee Home Address, has been added under Settings > HR > Employee Settings > Employee Directory Settings (bottom of the list).
This setting sits alongside the other options for displaying home and mobile numbers. ☎️
It overrides permissions, meaning that even if a user has the required permissions, they will not see home addresses unless the setting is ticked.
To help you manage access better, we’ve introduced three new permissions:
HR_EmployeeDirectory_HomeNumber
HR_EmployeeDirectory_MobileNumber
HR_EmployeeDirectory_HomeAddress
⚠️ Note: these permissions have automatically been applied to users who already have access to the Employee Directory. 📖

If you change your mind about a non-mandatory custom field selection, Indigo will now let you reset it to the default ‘Please Choose’ option to leave it blank. Additionally, if a custom field is required, you’ll receive a validation message.
Updating the value in an employee's Basic Pay 💰 field will no longer generate an object reference error.

Struggling to find your assessments? Don’t worry—we’ve made some terminology updates for better consistency. ✏️ Assessments are now called Evaluations across the product, such as 'Self-Evaluation' and 'Manager Evaluation'.
When voluntary feedback is given about an employee by another employee, and the Privacy Level is set to 'Manager', the Manager will now be able to see the feedback as intended.
