🌿 Platform & Performance Upgrades

• The V4 Rules Engine has been significantly optimised, with processing speeds now 5–10x faster in many cases.
• Bill rate updates and adjustments now perform more efficiently, even with millions of rate records.
• Upgraded to Engine Version 18.0, with improved error recovery, global logging, and better handling of single-timesheet updates.
• Added new indexes and session handling improvements to deliver faster screen loads and smoother performance across the platform.
• Enhanced Review and Approval screens for greater responsiveness, even on large data sets.

Result: Faster timesheet and award processing, fewer delays, and smoother day-to-day operation.

🔒 Security & Infrastructure Enhancements

• Extensive security hardening across APIs, removing legacy web service calls and improving XSS (cross-site scripting) protection.
• Automatic user account unlock mechanism introduced – accounts unlock progressively after 15, 30, or 60 minutes depending on lock history.
• AuthKey removal when a password is changed or a user is made inactive, ensuring mobile users cannot access the system after deactivation.
• Upgraded all Microsoft OWIN packages and removed server-injected headers to improve authentication stability.
• Added session-expired auto-logoff and clear on-screen notifications when your session times out.
• SOAP API retired for MYOB Acumatica integrations to align with current security standards.

Result: A stronger, safer platform that meets modern compliance and data protection expectations.

⚙️ Award Engine & Rules Enhancements

• The award interpretation process now includes:
  • A second-pass review to catch missed records.
  • Enhanced handling of paid/unpaid breaks, RDOs, and minimum hours paid settings.
  • New ability to filter consecutive shift rules by daily allowance inclusion/exclusion.
  • Enhanced Worked Between and Started In logic for allowance processing.
  • Ability to manually override award-interpreted records directly from the UI.
• Auditing of award-processed data now includes rule-set names, process timestamps, and parent record tracing.
• Improved holiday and work pattern publishing – faster, clearer logs and automatic recovery if an error occurs.
• Automatic reprocessing lock now detects if a process crashes and self-resets after 20 minutes.

Result: Smarter, more accurate award processing with full transparency and recovery mechanisms.

💼 Timesheets, Leave & Daily Sign-Off Improvements

• Introduced Project Item Groups, enabling administrators to control which project items each user can access.
• Inactive users can no longer submit timesheets.
• Enhanced daily sign-off and approval logic – supervisors now see all relevant records for their sign-off groups.
• Leave request improvements:
  • Modify individual days in a leave request even after partial export to payroll.
  • Republish approved leave requests that failed to create timesheet entries.
  • Adjust start/end times for remaining unpaid leave days.
  • Re-submit rejected leave where locked timesheet records exist.
• Added Weekly Summary Hours to the timesheet calendar footer for quick visibility.
• New Deleted Records screen lets you view timesheet records created and then removed during a given week.

Result: Greater flexibility for supervisors and employees, with stronger auditability and error handling in leave and timesheet management.

📊 Payroll, DataSync & Integration Enhancements

• Improved Payroll Metrics, MYOB Acumatica, and Procore integrations:
  • Corrected RDO handling, pay item mapping, and user import matching.
  • New checks ensure synced records in MYOB exactly match expected data, automatically resubmitting discrepancies.
  • Improved logging, retry, and audit detail for all DataSync activity.
  • Decreased retries for failed syncs from 10 to 5, improving processing throughput.
  • Added the ability to manually initiate Procore DataSync and to delete Procore-related records safely.
• Added manual export confirmation pop-ups to prevent accidental exports.
• Expanded Payroll Metrics export details for better traceability and error resolution.

Result: More robust, verifiable data transfers to payroll and third-party systems, with easier troubleshooting when things go wrong.

🧩 User Interface & Usability Enhancements

• Refined popup and modal windows — now bordered, non-refreshing on close, and faster to load.
• Improved roster screen:
  • Project and task colour-coding for instant clarity.
  • Task colours override project colours for quick identification.
• Added colour support in the Leave Diary and new intuitive display for part-day vs full-day records.
• Settings screen now displays server build date and session timeout information.
• Enhanced search screens, dropdown sorting, and filtering for better usability throughout the app.
• Error handling reinstated across all JavaScript functions for stability and smoother user experience.

Result: Cleaner navigation, more visual control, and fewer unnecessary reloads.

🧠 System Management & Admin Tools

• Sites can now be set to manual updates only, allowing you to control when upgrades occur (security patches are still auto-applied).
• ParentID and MobileGUID added to audit and timesheet entities for stronger cross-record traceability.
• New audit screens provide visibility into all award overrides and deleted timesheet records.
• Ability to toggle award record auditing on or off as required.
• Expanded logging of failed logins, session expirations, and error recovery detail.
