Version 1.4.0
In this version of the WTM application, we have streamlined time entries by implementing regular timecards. Users no longer need to manually log routine activities – after setting up regular timecards, these activities are added to their timesheets automatically. Timesheet management is now simpler and faster, letting users focus on more important tasks.
We have also improved user experience by implementing a range of fixes.
New features
Regular timecards
Timesheets now support automatic addition of repeated activities via regular timecards.
A timecard can be made regular both at and after its creation. As a result, the timecard will be added to the timesheet over the specified period of time and with the specified frequency. Its Time spent will be considered in the daily and weekly total. If a user added a comment, it will also be displayed. Users can change these settings via the regular timecard menu in the timesheet.
Apart from the timesheet, regular timecards can be created via the Regular Timecard (wtm_regular_timecard) table. The Employees' Regular Timecards (wtm_m2m_regular_timecard_employee) table is used to link regular timecards to users' timesheets.
Copying the timesheet carries over only the activities that are unique to that week. Regular timecards are not duplicated.

Fixes
DEF0023187: The Timecard chat did not allow for adding a comment with a large number of symbols: due to the message length, the Send button failed to display. In this version, the modal window layout has been fixed. As a result, the Send button now appears even in very long messages.
DEF0023084: When a manager rejected an employee's timesheet for several periods in a row, the notifications sent to the employee displayed these periods incorrectly. In this version, the notification script has been corrected, and the periods in the notifications now correspond to the periods in the timesheet.
DEF0022708: It was impossible to add quick responses in the Work notes field on the Timecard (wtm_timecard) table forms as the responses were missing from the Activity Feed widget. In this version, we have changed the corresponding widget instance settings to allow for adding quick responses.
DEF0022540: The script for the migration from categories to the new Activity (wtm_activity) entity only processed up to 50,000 time entry records. To prevent possible data loss, we have now removed this limitation.
DEF0021225: Managers' delegates could not approve the timesheets of their subordinate employees. This has been fixed in the new version. The Subordinates Timesheets menu item now displays the Timesheet (wtm_timesheet) records to both managers and the users to whom they delegated their approvals. The delegates can now also access the approval panel on the subordinate employees' timesheets.
