Shared by Kasia • July 18, 2024

Another type, Numerical, has appeared on the list of Custom Fields selections in the Configuration. The field allows you to enter only a number, the length of which can reach up to 30 digits and six decimal digits. In addition:

  • a dot separates integer and decimal parts
  • the system does not introduce rounding
  • leading zeros in the integer part are automatically shortened (e.g., 00012.5 --> 12.5)
  • back zeros in the decimal part are automatically shortened (e.g., 0.500 --> 0.5)
  • front and back spaces are automatically shortened

The new type is supported in XLSX imports and exports.

Taking feedback from customers into account, we have made further improvements to the Timesheet view. Here are the most important changes you should know about:

1. The search engine is available directly above the employee list (previously it was available in the upper right corner under the magnifying glass)

2. You can find the most important presets at the top bar (including Shifts, Balance and Projects)

3. Horizontal scrolling was moved over the timesheet.

4 And more improvements to increase the clarity and readability of the records (font size, getting rid of the number of irregularities from a single cell, adding labels, etc.).

1. Single and and multiple-choice lists

Custom fields, of the single-choice or multiple-choice list type , can be now added from Configuration/Custom Fields. After assigning a Category, Group and any number of options, the field will be visible in the Configuration/People and CoreHR/People views.

After defining the field and selection options, you will see the new column after downloading the Export/Import template. You can easily add/change an existing selection in an employee - by typing the option name - and delete - if you clear a cell in the sheet in that person and do an Import.

Administrators who have integration with Symfonia Sage enabled have gained the ability to:

  • enter the employee number from this system in the SYMFONIA SAGE GUID field in the People/Administration tab.

Shared by Kasia • March 12, 2024

We've added some new features to simplify the process of adding and editing employees on our platform:

  • You can now add new teams and positions directly within the employee addition interface, ensuring a smoother workflow.
  • The update removes the need to halt the process and switch to the Configuration section if certain positions or teams are missing.
  • This is part of our ongoing effort to provide a more straightforward approach to managing people.

How it works:

  • Go to Configuration > People > Add. In the fields for Position and Teams, you can now search and select existing options or add new ones without leaving the interface.
  • Existing positions and teams appear in grey, new are showed in green.
  • Changes are saved after completing the employee addition process.

We hope these new features make your administrative tasks more efficient. Explore the updated process for a smoother experience in managing your team.

Shared by Sebastian • February 19, 2024

This is another update to our employee import functionality.

From now on, being an administrator, it is much easier for you to manage employee children's data.

Quickly make bulk data changes through an Excel sheet.

Depending on your organization's needs, you can collect the following information:

- child's first name

- child's surname

- child's date of birth

- gender of the child

All of the above data is optional, so you do not need to collect redundant data.
