Release Notes Feb 2022

Version 10.46 Released Feb 21st 2022

Product Enhancements

UI/UX

As a follow up to last month’s Home screen release, we are continuing to make improvements in this area. This release contains various minor enhancements to improve the performance and look of the Home screen.

Employee Photo

On the Profile page, there is now an Edit icon displayed on the Employee Photograph.

  • Select the Edit icon to open the image selector form.

Address fields

We have added the ability to change the Address memo field on the My Details > Personal tab to five separate lines plus the Postcode.

To do this, in System Tools > Utilities > Tools > System Configuration > Personal, select the new tick box labelled Split Address field over separate lines?

When ticked, this switch splits all addresses currently in the memo field into 6 separate address lines. The switch is OFF by default for existing customers and ON by default for all new systems.

Staffology Payroll Integration

New Features in the Integration

Absence Types

As part of our continued and exciting integration with Staffology Payroll, in this release we have added the ability to sync the following absences:

  • Holidays

  • Illness

  • Maternity

  • Paternity

  • Shared parental Leave

  • Adoption leave

  • Unauthorized

  • Compassionate

We’ve also added the following to help facilitate administration and auditing of the integration between HR and Staffology Payroll:

Initial link date

In System Tools > Utilities > Payroll > Staffology Payroll, we have added a field that records each Company’s initial Link Date.

Audit

Staffology Payroll Integration is now included in the Audit. Audit records companies linked or unlinked, along with the Date, Time and User who has made the change.

Technical Enhancements

iSAMS HR

iSAMs is a leading school management system for independent schools and is just one of the many integrations that we support. The following changes have been made to facilitate the integration with iSAMS, enabling iSAMS HR to seamlessly send all their single sign on (SSO) information direct to us using our API’s. The changes will then allow a single click login between the two systems.

  • iSAMS HR SSO - New endpoint for iSAMS url

  • iSAMS HR SSO - Create POST endpoint for external provider ID

  • iSAMS HR SSO - Create GET endpoint for external provider ID

  • iSAMS HR SSO - Facilitate button in iSAMS to log directly into HR

  • iSAMS HR - Address sync

  • iSAMS HR - Button for SSO login

API

As mentioned above, we have created a new API end point to help facilitate integration with our partner iSAMS, however, the API’s created are available to everyone. This means you will be able to use the API to send and receive your employee’s External Provider ID, as well as the Redirect URL.

Swagger definitions are available here:
