Hello Indigo users,

We're opening this update with several technical and aesthetic enhancements to our Platform, namely the Notification Centre preview screen and the Login screen on mobile browsers.

In Attendance, we are bolstering your control over who can access your confidential Device Manager information by introducing a new permission.

Levels will now be displayed in the newly added column of the Import-Export grid in Skills & Training. This column can be activated through the column selector.

The grouping feature in various Payroll & Leave reports has levelled up, now offering two additional options for organising your data: Gender and Nationality.

Find additional information below! ⬇️


Platform

  • A number of enhancements have hit the Notification Centre.

    • We have begun categorising our notifications by their urgency level and their product of origin (e.g. Attendance, Payroll & Leave, etc). From this update, you will notice this enhancement affecting alerts from Task Management (HR).

      In the image above, notice the corresponding icons and the orange and white priority tag, which indicates that the task requires additional action from the user.

    • Two new buttons have been added:

      • The Mark All Unread;

      • The Unarchive button in the Archive tab.

  • Users logging into Indigo via mobile browsers will observe several UI adjustments and aesthetic improvements, including buttons designed to streamline the process of downloading our Attendance-focused (Clocking) Mobile App πŸ“±.

Attendance Enhancements

Device Manager

  • A newly created permission, named TA_DeviceManagerViewAllUsers, is now required to view all employees pending import in the device manager, enhancing confidential data security. From now on:

    • users who are not payroll users and lack this permission will only see team members;

    • users with the permission will have visibility of all employees eligible for import into the Device Manager.

Attendance Fixes and Improvements

  • The Breaks Report has been improved in a number of ways:

    • The report totals at the bottom now align with the displayed data, no matter which employees or parameters are chosen.

    • Dynamic break values will consistently correspond with the database records.

    • Break reports will now be visible exclusively to device manager tenants.

    • A warning now appears alongside the report, alerting users that the accuracy of the break report depends on the break setting being activated.

Device Manager

  • Work zones are cloning successfully as they should, even when there are no users linked to the original work zone.

Scheduler

  • Hours worked beyond the regular shift are correctly recorded in the Overtime column.


HR Enhancements

  • In the HR Employee Settings, there is a new option for both the Employee Happy Birthday Email Notification and the Employee Anniversary Email Notification, called 'Send Notification to Named Employees'. Enabling this will ensure the email is sent to the celebrant employee, while disabling it stops the email from being sent to them.
    ​

Skills & Training

  • We have added a new column for Levels to the Import-Export grid. You can enable this via the column selector.

HR Fixes and Improvements

Skills & Training

  • Tooltips have been added to a number of icons throughout the Skills & Training module and will be visible when hovering with the mouse pointer.

  • When Cost data is selected in the Import-Export grid, this is shown as expected when exporting to Excel.

Task Management

  • The 'Include notes in email notification' option is working properly.

  • On an employee's termination date, tasks assigned to the terminated employee are automatically updated to Unassigned.

  • We've given the columns in the Task Templates grid a talking to πŸ‘©β€πŸ« and they have agreed to make more space for each other.

  • The Show all tasks switch in My Tasks is back in good working order.

  • We fixed a typo in the notification email sent after updating a task's name.


Payroll & Leave Enhancements

  • Users can now group a number of reports by Gender and Nationality.

  • This enhancement is available in the following reports:

    • Payroll

      • Totals

      • Gross Totals

    • Basic Hours

    • Overtime

    • Benefits

    • Adjustments

    • Leave History

    • Leave Situation

    • Unions & Deductions

    • Contributions Report

  • A new column, Occupation Remarks, has been added to the Detailed type of the Payroll report, in which remarks within the Payroll > Occupations Support File will be displayed.

Payroll & Leave Fixes and Improvements

  • The calculation of government bonuses for terminated employees is conducted using the legacy method of a three-month period when that option is activated.

  • Payslip Settings will not load in edit mode by default. To edit, the Edit button needs to be clicked.

  • In Payrolls, the Calc. (Calculation) on Actual Working Days field is displaying as needed (including with the Excel report). This depends on a couple of factors:

    • the setting Enable base calculation on actual working hours is checked in Payroll > Calculation Settings;

    • the field is selected from the Column Selector.
