Another batch of great new features

In our June software update, we enabled some new features based on user feedback. Here’s a summary of what is new:

Search department lists

Our improved drop-down menu for departments allows users to search the department list instead of scrolling through the entries alphabetically. Especially for our larger clients, this is a handy tool that saves a lot of admin time.

Exclude / include leavers in reports

In different situations HR professionals may either want to exclude or include leavers information in absence and holiday reports. We have now added a new option to the comprehensive absence report  so users can choose to exclude leavers from the absentee list. Similarly, leavers can be excluded when generating reports for annual leave.

New period snapshot

Again in the comprehensive report, we have changed the logic of the period snapshot so that it only shows statistics relating to the selection made when requesting the report. This means that if a user generated a report for only non-medical absence, for example, the statistics in the period snapshot (only shown in PDF) will reflect only non-medical absence.

Better analytics on length of absence

Some of our users are moving away from the simple short term / long term distinction and categorising absences that are longer than 7 days but shorter than 4 weeks as medium term. To help carry this through to the reporting, on the Executive Summary report, ‘long term/short term split’ will also display medium term absence level. To enable medium term definition, company admins will need to configure the length of medium term absence in their preferences.

We hope you enjoy these new features! As always, there are more on the way.
