We perform System Upgrade to enhance the level of service for our customers; below are the most notable new features and updates from the April Upgrade:

Project Management

There have not been major changes within this section but we have introduced minor features requested by some users.

Timesheet- when submitting or reviewing the hours for approval you can not only group by project, employee and client, but also can you now group by dates. This allows the user to clearly see timesheet entries by separate dates.

We have optimized project related email notifications- now your custom fields will also appear. Besides, task status and completion status columns have been added to Project Work-Break Down structure. Last but not least, Zip Code field has been included in Location.

CRM

No major changes here either, but we want to ensure you that there have been major optimizations related to Message Center. Email fetching spell is shortened- now the messages are fetched within pre-defined intervals specific to each account.

Also, some email addresses undesirably ended up in black list, where users do not receive emails from the system, due to certain automatic criteria. To solve the problem, we have removed auto-black listing, now email addresses can only be added manually.

Finally, when sending a text message via Clickatell, messages can be sent from your name if defined.

HRMS

Mini calendar in “My Attendance” now displays week-ends, public holidays and approved Leave Requests. By requests received from our Middle East based customers, a new field for Visa Expiration Date has been added in Employee Profile. Users can also set email reminders right below it.
