Release Key Features 

Configurable default notification settings for new locations

Managers and admins can now set the default notifications settings for new locations for each employee. The "Notification Settings" screen under an employee's record is now separated into two tables. The bottom one contains all of the current locations and their individual notification toggles. You can still toggle each category on or off for all current locations by toggling the checkboxes in the "Notifications from all locations".

The top table includes the existing ability to manage settings for direct reports, as well as the new "Default for new locations" row. In the past, if a location was created after you configured notification settings, that new location had notifications turned "on" for all categories. This new feature allows you to set the default notification settings for new locations that may be created in future.

Notification settings for existing locations will remain the same.

For new locations, notifications will be disabled by default, you will need to enable them manually if you wish to receive notifications. 

***This change affects: Manager, Admin***

You can find additional information from our help article here. 

NEW company setting to toggle leave costing

You can now decide whether you want leave to be costed based on a new toggle. This toggle is accessible in Company Settings -> Features -> Cost Leave Requests.

Toggling this setting on means that leave requests are costed on the roster, timesheets, and business intelligence screen.


***This change affects: Manager, Admin***

Please note that this will only affect companies that update their annual leave and sick leave on-cost settings to 0%. To apply these changes, you will need to re-cost the shifts/timesheets.

You can find more details on this setting and additional costing information here.
