Web updates for May

No big features this month but here's a roundup of our bugfixes and improvements:

- Fixed an issue where if you created a new user with a pro-rata allowance you weren't taken into their details to continue setting them up 📅 

- On rare occasions, the copy invoice was not sent out, this has now been fixed 📨 

- Improved the copy where there is no approver ✅ 

Hopefully more exciting updates coming soon.

Billing emails now come from Timetastic

Billing emails used to come from our payment provider Stripe. We've switched it up so they now come from Timetastic so you'll see invoices coming from Timetastic email addresses from now on.

Managers are the new bosses

Hey Timetastic users!

After considering your feedback, we have decided to rename the term ‘Boss’ to the friendlier and more approachable term ‘Manager’.

'Boss' is a somewhat dated term, it's not reflective of our customers - so it's gone.

At present the mobile app still has some references to "Boss" in it, these will come out in the next update.

Thanks

Never miss a request for time off

A nice update for you today that should help you keep on top of requests.

If a request is still hanging around waiting to be approved after a week, we'll send a handy reminder to the approver that it needs dealing with.

We've all seen this happen, someone puts in a request for time off and a week goes by without it being approved, maybe their manager is away or missed the original request. It's not ideal, your colleague just wants to know if they can have that day off.

There used to have a function in Timetastic where you could manually trigger the reminder, but it was a bit hidden away and not used much despite the number of pending requests. So automating this process means it's one less thing to worry about, an additional bit of streamlining, helping you keep everything up to date 👏

New Improved Holiday Details Modal

Nice to see the sun out a bit more :) 😎

We've got a nice update for you today. We've been working on the holiday details modal, to keep them fresh and informative. You should find that they are now easier to work with. 

Here's an example - this is what the user will see when they send a request for time off:

What the user sees

And this is what the admin will see - nice and easy for them to action:


If you have multiple bookings on the same day, it's much easier to navigate those now:


Some users weren't sure why you couldn't cancel a booking when you're not an admin, so we've made that clearer:


The more eagle-eyed of you might notice that you can no longer manually trigger a reminder email when your holiday is pending. Fear not, we're in the process of automating that entire function - more on that in a change log coming this way soon.

There are a few bug fixes in this release too.

Lots more on the way soon too!

Simplifying Departments

We've cleaned up the Departments settings page a little so it's easier to digest and use. The main thing you'll notice is the 'default allowances' are gone.

Default allowances for a given department have been redundant for over a year now because you give each user their own allowance when you create their account in Timetastic.

Public Holiday Countries on iCal Subscriptions

We've added the country of a public holiday into the iCal feeds, to make it easier to see where the holiday is taking place, for example:

"Early May Bank Holiday"

will now show as

"Early May Bank Holiday - United Kingdom"

It's mainly useful if you have a team split over different countries.

Slack bot update

Happy February!

We've updated the Timetastic bot and added a slash command so you can find out when your team are absent.

/timetastic next week

will give you the absences for next week. You can try individual dates or date ranges.

If you're in any doubt

/timetastic help

will give you a rundown of what you can do.

The bot has also been updated to support Slack's new Block Kit layout which should mean better readability and layouts on mobile and smaller devices.
