We have a couple of things new for April:

User-based Data Export

In Preferences -> Data Export you can now get a zip of all your Timetastic data. Everything from logins, attachments, all your holidays, everything. 💼

For those of you wanting to keep records for GDPR 🔐, or just a copy for you to geek out in Excel with 📊, you can generate one whenever you want.

Pre-start Days

We've also made it easier to see when a user started with you by greying out their pre-start days. Just set a user's start date and your wallchart will do the rest:

We launched booking attachments a week or so ago on the web app, so you can include attachments when you book some leave - for example if you're booking time off as a sick day, you can include a photo of a doctor's note. 🤢

Well... We now have that same functionality in the mobile app! 🎉

When you book some time off - and tap to add a reason - you'll notice some new options here - that allow you to either attach an existing image, or take a photo:

You can also view attachments from the mobile app by bringing up a holiday.

Make sure you update your mobile app to version 5.5 to see this

Enjoy!

We've just published an update to our Privacy Policy to keep in line with GDPR requirements.

The main changes are:

1. Outlining our legal basis for collecting and processing data.

2. More detail on what data we collect, why, and how we collect it.

3. Clarify on how long we retain personal data for.

4. Clarification of your rights under GDPR.

5. Inclusion of our EU data representative - a requirement since Brexit.

Hopefully it all makes sense and you find the information nice and clear.

Thanks, and have a nice weekend :)

Today we launch something that we've been working on for a little while...booking attachments! 🎉 For example, if you're booking time off as a sick day, you can now attach a photo of your doctor's note.

This isn't limited to sick days - if you want to gloat about the weather forecast for your upcoming beach holiday, you could attach a screenshot of the local weather report  😎 

For this first release it's just a desktop function, but fear not, the mobile app will have the feature in the coming days.

Fresh out today are some improvements to the Carry forward, Workspace settings and Danger Zone for mobile users.

You'll see them in the next update from your app store.

📖 It’s a subtle change but we’ve replaced our fonts to Graphik. They're a little easier to read.

🖼️ We’ve also updated the UI to give even better iPad and small screen support in portrait mode. When in this orientation we now use a top menu, and it's easier to your Settings and Preferences.

Happy New Year! 🎉 Today we've kicked off 2022 in style with a number of small updates and improvements:

User management 👥

We’ve updated the user list to make it more obvious which users are being archived or deleted. We’ve also improved the archive and delete screens to be clearer about what impact archiving or deleting has on your users.

Email summary of absences 📩

We've changed the order that absences appear in your weekly summary emails, for those of you whose emails are truncated by hitting the maximum number of absences that can be displayed.  Previously they were ordered by start time descending, so  the latest dates appeared first. We've changed this to prioritise the absences coming up soonest, to make sure you don't miss any important information about your team's whereabouts. 😎

Public Holiday icons 🌹

We've improved icon prioritisation to make sure it's clear when a booking falls on a public holiday. Previously, the public holiday icon disappeared when a booking was pending on that day:

Now, the bank holiday icon always shows, even if there's a booking on it:

Today we've updated the reporting with a small but significant change to the "End Time" field in the downloadable excel reports 👨‍💻

The end time for a full day booking will now be set to 1 minute before midnight i.e. 23:59 🕛

It used to be set to 00:00 - which is actually the next day, and we know it's been a bug bear for many of you.

So rather than this:

From now onwards it'll show up like this:

Hopefully that makes your formulas, reporting and pivot tables easier to manage 👌

You can now archive and delete groups of users using new bulk Options.

For users you want to archive it's:

and for archived users you want to delete it's

You can now set your business hours in Timetastic.

And when you add new users they'll get those hours by default when they're created. 👍

It's all done in Settings > General:
