Version 3.3.1 Released

There’s been some usability enhancements made to version 3.3.1 of our time card software as well as some small tweaks and a change to sick and vacation time accruals. The details of the changes made to this new version are shown below.

  • The job selection screen now remembers the last window size when it is re-loaded.
  • You can now sort the columns on the job selection screen by clicking on the column headers.
  • Fixed up some minor layout issues on the vacation and sick time accrual screens.
  • Added the “Apply Starting Balance Annually” setting to both sick time and vacation accruals. When checked this will start each years available sick or vacation time with the “Starts With” balance for the accrual schema. Note that this setting will only take effect if the “Carry Balance Forward Yearly” setting is not checked. Note also that the date the balance is applied depends on your “Use Hire Date Not Fiscal Year” setting.

Version 3.2.13 Released

Time Clock MTS version 3.2.13 has just been released. Detailed changes for this new version can be found below.

  • Fixed the Add Employee Tip screen that could leave the bottom employee in the list scrolled off of the bottom of the screen.
  • A scroll bar is now displayed on employee bulletins that are more than 5 lines long.
  • A fix has been put in place to stop the main application window disappearing when a very long report is generated. The same problem seems to be happening when using the Edit Times screen but I’m trying to get to the bottom of that.
  • Stopped the double expiry warning message when in the last 10 days of the trial period.

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.

The Best Testimonial of 2011

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.
