Let's say you're adding a new device to Device Manager. You're in My Devices and click 'Add Work Zone'–when Indigo informs you that no work zones exist. 😮
Don't worry! If you then click on 'Create Work Zone', the Work Zones screen will open in a new window for you to create your first work zone. When you're ready, click 'Refresh' to see your newly created work zone. You can then continue adding your new device by selecting the work zone to link the device.The Scheduled Hours report is accurately considering overnight shifts, as expected.

When using the Import-Export function, Skills with half star ⭐ ratings (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc) are imported correctly, as expected.
