Hello Indigo users,
As we move further into June, we’re beating the heat with a cool 🧊 set of upgrades in this release, bringing improvements across our most widely used modules.
All eyes on the Document Manager in HR, celebrating its latest feature spotlight ... Tags! 🏷️ Enjoy a brand-new section dedicated to organising and managing documents, complete with permission controls and support for bulk handling. 💪
Across the rest of the system, improvements target practical pain points in your day-to-days. We're introducing better agility around pending allocations and overtime in Attendance, and more accurate occupation classification in the Job Evaluation Tool. There are also a number of quality-of-life enhancements in Payroll & Leave, including Assembly Point data in reporting and smoother handling of long-running reports.

Need to manage tags in bulk? No problem. You can import and export tags directly via Excel, so large-scale tag maintenance is fast and hassle-free.
📃 Extended Document Activity Details

🕘 Attendance
In Attendance, you can now:
Approve pending allocation details even after payroll has been processed, giving teams more flexibility when dealing with past entries.
Automatically delete pending overtime after a set number of days with a new allocation setting, helping encourage quicker approvals.
