Great tidings, users!
Time is money, so here’s a feature spotlight that saves you both! You can now assign a default project to any clocking device! Every clocking on that device will automatically be linked to the selected project, making time tracking by project smooth sailing, ⛵ be it for payroll, auditing, and beyond.
We’ve also added a couple of other enhancements to Attendance, including a setting that separates scheduled hours from unpaid overtime in cost calculations, and a new Department tab to the Scheduled Staff by Hour report. 📋

👷 Set a Default Project for a Device in Attendance
Do your teams clock in and out across multiple offices or project sites? You can now assign default projects to your clocking devices!

So whether you're managing payroll reporting, meeting audit requirements, or simply pursuing pristine project precision, Indigo now makes it all so much easier! 💪
🕘 Attendance
Is overtime not part of the deal? Keep budget 💰 calculations in check with a new setting in Indigo: Head over to Settings > Attendance > Costings and tick ✔️ Limit Cost to Work Schedule Hours. This will not affect employees with overtime enabled.
The Scheduled Staff by Hour report now includes a Department tab in the search grid, helping you focus 🔍 on staffing coverage and patterns at the departmental level.
