General changes to the app

The following general changes to the app will be available with this release.

New Home Screen

There is now a separate home screen as the entry screen, which offers links to the individual modules and a compressed view of the inbox. This new screen is only visible if several modules are licensed or the user has authorizations for the inbox.

Office 365 Single-Sign-On

You can now log into the app with your Office 365 login, provided the login names (email addresses) match. To do this, simply click on Office 365 / Login in the login mask. If you are already logged in to Office 365 in this browser, you do not have to re-enter your username or password.

Save The Page Sizes

The set page sizes of the table views are now saved in a cookie and do not have to be set again every time.

New Module "Leave Management"

The leave management module can be used to manage all types of absences. From recreational leave to training courses and business trips. Both the different types of absence as well as the approval processes can easily be adapted to your requirements. With the team calendar that can be integrated into Outlook, everyone involved can keep an eye on their colleagues' absences at all times. You can find more information about the new module here.

Changes In Employee Time Tracking

The following changes have been implemented in the time tracking module.

2-week Working Time Models

Working time models can now be bi-weekly with different working times for even and odd calendar weeks.

Break Regulations Per Region

Break time rules can now not only be defined globally, but also differently for each region.

Changes In Project Time Tracking

The following changes have been implemented in the project time recording.

Colors For Projects

A fixed color can now be assigned to each project for easier recognition.

Multiple Assignment To Tasks

Several employees can now be assigned to one task at once. This assumes that all employees have the same settings at the beginning, end and hourly rate.

We hope the new improvements are helpful. If you have any questions or comments just drop us a few lines at sales@plainstaff.com.
