A base currency (BC) equivalent for Rate/Amount fields is now available in the Custom columns and you can use the fields in your custom formulae.
You (administrator) can now specify a URL to go to after a user logs out from the application. For extra security with SAML users, you can set this URL to a page that ends the SAML session.
The following fields have been added to the Time Punch Details report:
Two new fields Week Start Date and Week End Date have been added to report templates and users can now view reports based on a date range.
The settings that allow a user to edit and delete past and future time off bookings are now defined per time off type.
These settings were previously specified within users’ assigned time off templates.
How this change helps
This change allows for greater flexibility in how you set up edit and delete permissions – it allows you to assign different settings for different types of time off. For example, you could allow users to edit or delete their bookings for sick time, but prevent them from editing holiday bookings.
How existing settings are migrated
Settings for existing customers have been updated to match this new structure. For most customers, functionality is unchanged – settings in time off types have been set to match the settings that were assigned to users in their templates. For example, if all users who are assigned the Sick time off type were allowed to edit past bookings, editing of past bookings is allowed for the Sick time off type.
In the rare cases where customers use multiple time off templates, and those templates use different edit and delete permissions, settings have been migrated based on ‘majority rules’. For example, a system has 400 users assigned the Vacation time off type. If 199 of those users were allowed to delete their past bookings and 201 were not allowed to delete them, deletion of past bookings will not be allowed for the Vacation time off type.
Any unused time off types are set to allow edit and delete of future bookings only, though you can modify these settings.
If you use multiple time off templates, you may need to modify your settings to meet your desired functionality. Contact your Customer Success representative or Replicon Support if you have questions about your settings, or need help modifying edit and delete privileges for time off types.
You can now transfer users’ punches from the Team > Team Time page to their In-Out timesheets by clicking the Post to Timesheet button.
When you need to create a new project in Replicon, you can now copy data from an existing project to use as a starting point. Projects are copied by selecting the Copy Project option from within the project you want to copy.
Copying a project can save time if you want a new project to have similar settings to an existing one. When you copy a project, most data is copied to the new project by default, but you can choose whether you want tasks, team, expense codes, and billing rates to be copied.
For more information, refer to Copying Projects in the online help.
In reports based on the Project Team Time, Cost, Expense and Billing template, the behavior of the following fields has changed:
Now, if Year, Quarter, Month, Week, or Day (Entry Date) time span fields are included in the report, estimates will be broken down by those time spans, rather than showing only a total estimate for the entire date range entered, as occurred before this change.
