We've mentioned in previous announcements how much we appreciate receiving suggestions from our users. This announcement highlights some recent enhancements to TimeSite Pro developed as a result of your valuable feedback. 

The recent release of our new Award Rules features generated a lot of interest and some excellent suggestions. As a result, we have:

• enhanced the ability to use award codes rather than pay categories when exporting timesheets, 
• added to and from dates to allow for changes in awards over time,
• added the ability to (re-)apply award rules when timesheet records have changed, otherwise, disable the Apply Award Rules button once rules have been applied,
• display award-related records in the timesheet export screen, and
• added the ability to manage award codes in the Settings screen

There are several other enhancements in the works for award rules, including the ability to specify majority of the time rules. Let us know if you would like to have a more detailed discussion about how award rules can help with your payroll processing. 

TimeSite Pro's multi-company capability is used to specify different configuration settings and information for companies, divisions, locations, mine sites and so on. Our customers have recently made excellent suggestions regarding the way we handle master company identification and the cloning of standard configuration settings for new companies. 

We continue to improve our logging and audit capabilities. The Registered Mobile Devices screen now shows app settings for location, Bluetooth, motion, and background data. You can hover your mouse over the user name to review recent messages exchanged with the device. We have a new mobile app in beta testing, so make sure that your team has auto-update enabled on their smartphone. We've also introduced the Integration Log to display information about timesheet exports, for example. 

Finally, you will notice UI enhancements to the Settings screens focused on a more logical layout and operation of groups of settings, particularly in the Timesheets configuration screen. There is a new group of settings relating to Billable Time. The Enable billable time setting allows you to entirely disable all TimeSite Pro capabilities relating to the management and display of billable time in timesheet records. There are additional help messages now on groups of settings such as Billable Time. We will continue to improve both in-app tips as well as more detailed help articles in our Knowledge Base. 

Speaking of which, this Announcement article in our Knowledge Base includes a list of all recent enhancements to TimeSite Pro. Let us know if you have any questions or comments about these improvements to TimeSite Pro. 

Warm regards,
​The TimeSite Team
