Version 1.3.2

In this version, we expanded the timesheet functionality to reduce the time required to edit it, improve manager–employee interaction, and simplify control over the timesheet approval process.

New notification mechanisms help managers respond more quickly to submitted timesheets, while employees can receive prompt feedback on rejected entries. Interface improvements enhance usability and make it easier to find important information. Changes to the timecard-copying logic help users reduce errors when working with timesheets and accelerate their completion.

Improvements​

Copying time entry cards​

When copying timecards from the previous week into a new timesheet, only cards whose Activity and Activity type field values allow copying are added. This prevents copying irrelevant cards and the need to manually remove them from the current week.

Timesheet display​

To improve clarity and make it easier to find important information, the timesheet now includes the following elements:

  • an icon that displays the rejection comment when you move the pointer over it,

  • buttons to show or hide new timecards,

  • buttons to show or hide weekend days.

    The button is available if the wtm.overtime_work system property is set to false.

Notifications for managers​

Managers can now identify the timesheets awaiting approval more quickly, which helps reduce delays in the approval process. Several notification levels are implemented for new timesheets pending approval:

  1. Individual notifications – sent to a manager immediately after a subordinate submits a timesheet for approval.

  2. Group notifications – sent every Monday at 9:00 AM if there are unapproved timesheets from multiple subordinates in the system at that time. The notification specifies the number of subordinates who sent their timesheets for approval and lists the employees who have not submitted them yet.

    The minimum number of subordinates required to trigger a group notification is defined by the new wtm.notification.group_minimum system property. By default, group notifications are generated for managers who have five or more subordinates.

Notifications for employees​

A notification system has been implemented for employees so they can receive feedback on individual cards and on the timesheet without submitting additional requests. Notifications are sent in the following cases:

  • a timesheet is rejected,
  • a single card in the timesheet is rejected,
  • multiple cards in the timesheet are rejected.

Notification about a new message in the chat​

Now, whenever a subordinate or their manager leaves a message in the timecard chat, the recipient also receives a corresponding email notification.

WTM system properties​

For administrator convenience, the WTM application system properties are now available in WTM → Time Entry Management → WTM Properties.
