Web

Availability in Schedule view
In order to quickly identify who is available or not to pick up a shift, we've added the option to display your employees' registered availability in the schedule view.

iOS

The latest version of our iOS App is 5.15.3. Make sure to download it from the App Store or update to access new features below.

Employee Details on Mobile
To ensure the information your employees can view on one another is consistent across web and our mobile apps, we have made an update to restrict the default fields shown on employees in our apps. Only the following employee fields on employees who have their contact info set to visible, can be seen when they select an employee in the People list in the apps: First name, Last name, Mobile, Phone, Email.

No Internet Connection Banner
The app will now display a red banner at the top of the screen when functionality is restricted due to a lack of internet connection.

Break Count shown on Shifts
The Break count feature adds a coffee cup icon and a numeric indicator of how many breaks are to be taken during a shift.
To enable this feature please contact us.
