Improved Reports Filters

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Get ready for even faster reporting experience! Based on your feedback, we’ve rolled out an update to our reports, to make finding the data you need simpler and more intuitive.

What’s new?

  • Simplified Filters: The most-used filters are front and center, with advanced options neatly organized inside the filter menu.
  • Separate Grouping: The "Group by" function is now separate from the filters. Adjust your filters without losing your preferred data grouping (e.g., by absence type or employee).
  • New Filter Option: Filter leave requests by their creation date, in addition to the approval date. This is perfect for auditing and tracking request submission patterns.

These changes are live in your account now. Head over to the Reports tab to see how much easier it is to get the insights you need.

Download Reports Directly from the People View

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Here is a small but powerful update to make your reporting even faster. You can now download custom employee reports directly from the People view in the Configuration.

How it works:

To download a report, simply use one of your saved views. The process is straightforward:

  1. Create and save a view (if you don't have one yet): Set up your desired columns and filters, then save your custom view.
  2. Select your view from the list: Expand the dropdown list in the top-right corner and choose the saved view you want to download.
  3. Download with one click: Click the new download icon that appears next to the view's name to instantly generate your report.

This means all your most-used, saved views are now ready to be downloaded as reports—without extra steps or switching sections.

Time Clock Rounding Now Available in Your Configuration

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Time Clock Rounding has moved from beta to full availability. Time & Attendance module users can now configure this feature directly in their configuration panel.

The feature eliminates minute-by-minute discrepancies in time records and automatically streamlines payroll calculations. You can choose between two rounding methods or use both together.

Rounding to Work Schedule works for companies with fixed schedules. Set clock-in buffers, lateness tolerance, and clock-out parameters according to your company policy.

Rounding to Time Intervals suits companies with flexible schedules. Choose intervals of 5, 10, 15 or more minutes and set rounding direction (nearest, up, down)

Both methods ensure payroll consistency with timesheets and maintain compliance with labor laws.

Integrations

Absences and worklogs sync between Jira & Calamari

Calamari Team avatar
Shared by Calamari Team • August 08, 2025

If your team uses both Calamari for time tracking and Jira for project management, you can take advantage of automatic synchronization to eliminate double data entry.

The integration runs on an AWS Lambda script that periodically synchronizes data between the two systems. It audits and updates information for the current month while leaving historical records unchanged.

How does it work in practice?

  • For absence management: When an employee's leave is approved in Calamari, a corresponding entry automatically appears in Jira as a worklog.
  • For time tracking: Hours logged in Jira are automatically sent to Calamari as time entries. Your developers log time on their tasks in Jira, and you get the full picture in Calamari.

Core HR view templates

Shared by Calamari Team • August 08, 2025

Thanks to the new view templates feature, you can instantly find the information you need directly in the People tab.

Freely configure the view by selecting only the columns you need (including Custom fields). Use filters to narrow down the list, and then save the entire template for quick access in the future.

For example, create a "B2B Contractors," "Expiring Safety Trainings," or "Upcoming Anniversaries" view without needing to generate reports.

The feature is available for all users whose organization has an active Core HR module.

Go to Calamari and see how it works or book a Core HR demo.

1. Microsoft Teams dashboard with language support

The dashboard in Microsoft Teams is now available in seven languages: Polish, English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese (Brazil). If your language in MS Teams is set to one of these, the dashboard will adapt automatically. This is especially useful for international teams!

2. Substitute's details in the Outlook autoresponder

People emailing you during your time off will immediately know who to contact in an emergency. When you request leave and choose a substitute, the Outlook autoresponder will automatically add their contact details to your out-of-office message.

Time Clock Rounding

Shared by Calamari Team • July 14, 2025

Minute-by-minute discrepancies in time records are a thing of the past. The new rounding feature in Calamari automatically streamlines your payroll.

Benefits:

  • End minute-level overtime and time discrepancies
  • Ensure payroll is consistent with timesheets
  • Maintain full compliance with labor laws
  • Reduce administrative workload

Available Options:

  • Rounding to Work Schedule: For companies with fixed schedules (e.g., 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM). You set clock-in buffers, lateness tolerance, and clock-out parameters according to your company's policy.
  • Rounding to Time Intervals: Ideal for companies with flexible schedules or when payroll is calculated in time blocks. You choose the intervals: 15, 30, or 60 minutes and rounding direction (up or down).

Flexible Operation: Both modes can work together or operate independently, with schedule-based rounding taking priority.

Want to test Time Clock Rounding? The feature is currently in beta. Please contact our Customer Support team, and we'll enable it on your account.

Changes Audit in the CoreHR Module

Calamari Team avatar
Shared by Calamari Team • July 14, 2025

The new Changes Audit feature gives you complete visibility into profile modifications - who made them, what changed, and when.

How it works: Navigate to the CoreHR module's Configuration section and click the new audit tile. You'll see a comprehensive list of all profile changes with filtering options by:

  • User
  • Specific field modified
  • The person who made the change

API-generated changes display a special icon instead of a user employee photo.

Browse efficiently with chronological sorting (newest first) and date range filters - narrow down to specific days, weeks, or months as needed.

Real business impact: When inconsistencies arise, you can instantly trace their origin. This transforms employee profiles into a reliable source of truth while streamlining your compliance processes.

The audit captures all changes since June 19, 2025 - even for accounts without CoreHR (changes are recorded and become visible after module purchase).
