What’s New in Web TimeOff Version 2.2

The following new features are available in version 2.2 of Web TimeOff:

  • Substitute User
    Employees can now assign substitute users to carry out Web TimeOff tasks on their behalf. Any employee, regardless of his or her permission type, can be assigned substitute user status. Substitute users’ access privileges can be limited by user-defined permissions. For example, substitutes can be blocked from viewing any cost data on reports.
  • Outlook Integration
    Employees can now add approved time off requests directly to their Outlook calendars. Either a single time off request, or all approved requests from a user-specified time period, can be added.
  • Maximum cap on time off accruals
    Administrators can now set the maximum number of days off that an employee can accrue for each time off type. With this feature, administrators can more easily and accurately regulate employee time off accruals.
  • Disallowance of negative balances on time off requests
    Administrators are now able to block employees from submitting time off requests that would create a negative total in the employee’s time off balance. This can help ensure that employees are only granted time off to which they are entitled.
  • Improved employee filter
    Users can now filter by specific employees when selecting employees for display in reports, lists and calendar views. Employees can also still be filtered based on their reporting type, employee status, permission type, or group membership.

The employee filter check box fields function differently in this version of Web TimeOff than in previous versions:
  • In the older versions, if no check boxes were selected, the data would not be filtered by that value. So, for example, if no Department check box was selected, all users (who met the other selection criteria) from all departments would be displayed.
  • In this version, if no check boxes are selected, the check box value will be enabled automatically. So, for example, if no Department check box was selected, would be enabled, and only users with no department assigned to them (who meet the other selection criteria) would be displayed.

Fixed in Web TimeOff Version 2.2

The following issues are fixed in version 2.2 of Web TimeOff:

  • A password is no longer required when updating data for an existing employee using the csv file. Plus, customers who have not enabled e-mail notifications no longer require an e-mail ID when importing data. (50813)
