5.3.21 Schedulers using Edit>Employee Group

• Edit>Employee Group now supports designating a Scheduler (with or without Edit>Staff rights) as being the maintainer of an Employee Group (in addition to the DB Admins). The who and when of the last change to each Employee Group record is now tracked. These fields display in the rightmost columns of the table.
• The various Select Multiple Employee screens and the [Emp/Loc] screen now display noticeably faster for databases with 100+ employees.
• Location Abbreviations may now be 8 characters (once 5.3.21 has been activated as the minimum version).
• Tools>Shifts>Show Empty now allows user to designate that the empty periods should be reported split into empty shifts.

5.3.20 Mass Shift Delete Options

• Two more features to assist mass shift changes:
  • The Right-click>Delete Shifts of an employee now supports starting a date range in the past.
  • Tools>Maintenance>Delete Tab now supports deleting all shifts for a date range.
• Saving a CSV file now includes the option to copy the file to your clipboard to simplify pasting into a different folder or email.
• Tools>Options>Database tab>Train/Test>[Create] is faster and uses less disk space.
• The [Info] button screens shown by Edit>Employee Group and Select Employee Group are now larger.

5.3.19 Deleting Shifts for a Past date range

• The Edit>Location>Advanced>Delete Shifts for location option now supports specifying a date range starting in the past.
  • If you have other mass change of shifts needs, please email support@schedule3w.com.

5.3.17 Web Defaults now easier to update

• Web View 4.3.06 improvements:
  • Tools>Defaults now shows both the current defaults for the user plus a New column showing the settings that would be revised by clicking [Save new].
  • The automatic recovery of interrupted network connections to the database has been improved.
  • Each night a zip of the database and staffing levels is saved to a new Backup folder and retained for 7 days.

5.3.15 Expanded Shift Date Change

• Shift Information now, like Web Update, supports changing the date of a shift (or working shift plus its service points) within the year. Previously this could only be done by drag/drop within the viewed 7 days.
• History now allows DB Admins to display change history for any scheduler. Schedulers still see by me.
• Tools>Shifts>Empty now immediately displays a table of empty shifts (i.e. periods not meeting specified Staffing Levels). A CSV may still be saved/opened.
• The right-click Assign Location menu option has been removed because its functionality is provided by [] Then clone for an SP shift when adding working shifts or by right-click Clone for existing working shifts.
• New Retry option when saving a CSV from Tools>Reports Format Tab>[Advanced]>”Just CSV” option and from the [Save]option of any Database View report. This handles leaving the prior copy open in a spreadsheet.
• Edit>Location now allows Locations to be marked as Historic so past shifts are retained but new shifts can’t be scheduled.
• New Include Historical Staff option in Tools>Reports>select [Multiple Employees]>[Options] so that shift reports of just specific Historical Status employees may be generated without changing the employee back to Active.
• Web View 4.3.05 improvements:
  • Shift Information now shows for schedulers the shift creation date and by whom plus, if a change has been made, its when, by whom and prior employee/location.
  • Forgot your password screen’s text has been improved.
  • New control in Options to flag shifts that have been changed Today or since Yesterday with a ^. Please email any other duration that would be useful.
