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.

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

We have further optimised Document Manager's search function.
In HR > Employees, when importing or updating an employee via Excel and including 'Reporting to Employee' data, if you forget to add either one of the fields 'ReportingToEmployeeCode' or 'ReportingToEmployeeCompanyCode' then Indigo will now alert you that these codes "must be provided in pairs to update the ReportingTo employee data.
