Version 3.2.12 Released

The rollover to January 2012 has thrown up some reporting issues for reports run across two calendar (and I suspect two fiscal) years. I’ve been very keen to jump on these problems immediately and have spent the last several hours putting fixes in place and testing those fixes. Version 3.2.12 of our timecard software is the result and it’s just been uploaded to our servers. Changes made in this version are:

  • A fix to available vacation and sick time for annual accruals when report was run in a different annual accrual period to the reporting period.
  • A fix to the , , and fields that were using the date the report was run to determine the fiscal period rather than the report date.
  • Fix to weekly overtime calculations when a public holiday falls in a week and the Public Holidays Affect OT setting is not checked.
  • Fix to the normal hours total on the Time Breakdown Report.
  • Adjusted the holiday hours report total column width on the Time Breakdown Report.
  • Adjusted some of the coordinates on the First Run Tutorial.

Version 3.2.10 Released

As I write this Time Clock MTS version 3.2.10 is being uploaded to our servers. There’s a couple of bug fixes in this release and a new feature.

  • The job selection list (reached by pressing the * button the job code entry screen) is now sizeable.
  • When using the department folder view of the employee list interface employees who are clocked in with the time classification OTHER are now displayed with a purple status icon.
  • Fixed a problem with the report field that was causing OTHER time taken on the last day of the report period to not be included in the report.
  • Time with the OTHER classification is no longer included in overtime calculations if the Sick/Vac Time Affect OT setting is not checked.

Version 3.2.9 of the software was also uploaded earlier this week. This fixed up a bug that stopped existing shifts from being editable.

A New Version of Time Clock MTS Released

Version 3.2.8 of Time Clock MTS is being uploaded as I write this entry. This new release now includes the current job number on the Employee Status Report. It also fixes up an error that was thrown on various maintenance pages on the Options screen (namely the Departments, Employment Types, Holidays, Shifts and Jobs pages) when the Edit button was pressed immediately after adding a new item to the list. Thanks to the long time Time Clock MTS user who was able to put me on the right track to fix up these errors which I’d been trying to track down for quite a while!

Version 3.2.7 Released

A very minor release today that fixes up a couple of minor glitches with the biometric features of the software and adds some data logging to the fingerprint initialization process to allow us to track down the source of any problems. The complete list of changes is below.

  • A fix to a spelling error on the fingerprint driver installation screen.
  • You can no longer enrol fingerprints if no employee is defined.
  • Added data logging to the fingerprint enrolment screen.
  • Completely re-built the fingerprint_update.exe installer to be compatible with 64 bit versions of Windows. The installer now detects if the operating system is 64 bit or 32 bit and installs the correct driver set.

Version 3.2.6 Released

Another minor release of Time Clock MTS today. This one fixes up a problem with the main application window disappearing when a report that takes a long time to generate was run. The other fixes are to some report section template fields that were not displaying correctly or not aligning properly when printed on reports. If you’re not sure what the report section template fields are then you should take a look at the blog entry on Customizing Time Clock MTS Reports.
