From now on, managers and admins can save their own report templates in the People Report. Based on their role, they'll be able to define and save templates that include:

• Selected data fields
• Applied filters
• Template name

The template can be reused to quickly pull reports for different time periods without reconfiguring settings. You can set reports such as:

• Contract and bonuses summary report
• Employees who left last year with exit reasons report
• Employee performance review
• Company devices report
• Work anniversaries in the next month (addresses included)
• Employee skills and certifications report
• Uniform and apparel tracking report

The filtering system now includes 11 comprehensive filters (up from 4) and preset date filters such as "previous month".

Stay connected with your team's important dates! All Core HR users can now see important events both on web and mobile apps.

The new view:

• Displays upcoming birthdays, work anniversaries, end of contract

• Shows information in a clear format

Our API documentation has been refreshed. We are using Redocly to support our client in their integration task.

The new interface includes:

• interactive API testing tool directly in your browser,
• API endpoints to create, update and list "People" data with custom fields.

The enhanced documentation simplifies integration between Calamari and your internal systems, with Calamari serving as the source of truth for employee data. You can create and update employee profiles with all their custom fields in Core HR module.

We've expanded Calamari's Slack integration - now you can perform additional key actions directly in the app:

• Add attendance records from Home Tab
• Approve leave requests
• Review and approve time tracking requests

The new features respect your security settings - for example, the attendance marking option will only appear for users with approval permissions.

More Slack integration improvements coming soon.

Absence policy description in the Entitlement view

In response to our customers' feedback, we've improved the entitlement details view. By default, all fields are collapsed and can be expanded by clicking anywhere or on the icon. Upon expansion, you'll see information about restrictions, absence type description, and leave expiration date.

New request details view

To provide a better overview of leave information, we've refreshed the leave request details screen in our mobile app with useful features:

• Check leave balance directly in the request view with the new bar
• Enjoy an even clearer interface that matches the web version

Skip holidays when marking attendance

You can now skip holidays when marking attendance when adding timesheet entries, just like in the web version. We've also added weekday information next to dates for better clarity.

A major change in the Core HR module - now every Calamari user can update custom fields independently.

This new feature allows for self-service updates of contact information, billing details, or collection of any additional information.

Administrators can set visibility and editing permissions for specific fields for managers, owners (of given employee), and the entire organization.

How to use this feature?

• Go to Configuration -> Employee Fields
• Select the configurable field whose visibility/editing permissions you want to modify
• Check appropriate access boxes in the side panel

You can also modify the visibility of most system fields - they are marked as "Configurable system field".

You can now select multiple employees in the Configuration -> People view and perform bulk actions, increasing your efficiency.

This feature will speed up onboarding through group invitation sending and restoring archived profiles.

Simply select the desired employees and choose an action from the top menu to save time on repetitive tasks!

Tired of using all your PTO days and still feeling like you need a longer break? We get it!

That’s why we created Maximize Your Vacation - free tool that turns your vacation days into even more days of pure bliss! 🪄

Here’s how simple it is:

1. Pick your country

2. Enter your available PTO days

3. Get the perfect schedule that aligns your time off with holidays 🌴

No more spreadsheets or calendar puzzles - we did the math so you can focus on planning your next adventure! Just request free days in Time Off module and you're all set for 2025 ✈️

We've introduced a new restriction that allows you to control the number of days employees can request for specific absence types within a week. This will be particularly useful for managing flexible work arrangements, including remote work.

Administrators can set a maximum number of days per week for selected absence types and choose whether the system should display a warning or completely prevent submission of requests that exceed the set limit.

To configure the new restriction, go to Configuration → choose or create new absence type → and then pick tab "Restrictions", and select "Absence can be requested for maximum X days per week" where you can set your preferred number of days and behavior (warning/block).

For Core HR users we've improved the Configuration/Custom fields interface to make it easier to understand and use. This update is part of our ongoing project, designed to make employee data self-service possible and secure.

What's new in the configuration table?

• Clear visibility of security parameters - see who can view or edit each field
• Easy distinction between system and custom fields
• Visual indicators for configurable system fields
• Intuitive icons showing field types (numeric, text, and 5 other types)
• Simplified editing - click anywhere on a row or use the edit icon to modify settings

Combined with our recent custom fields visibility update, you now have a comprehensive toolkit for managing employee data access:

• Set specific visibility for different manager types
• Control editing rights for the entire organization
• Configure access to both custom and system fields
• Give managers opportunity to edit their team's info, such as schedule changes, position updates, and other employee data efficiently.

Check out the new configuration options - and if you don't have the CoreHR module yet, try it out now!
