Version 3.1.8 Released

I’ve just uploaded Version 3.1.8 of Time Clock MTS. This new version includes a couple of bug fixes, some new debug code to try to track down an issue a few users are having, and a couple of minor feature changes. The detailed changes can be found below:

  • A number of modifications have been made to the logging code including adding a time stamp to all log entries and logging the windows version (and service pack).
  • Users have been reporting an Error 52 (File not Found) when starting the software. Usually this is a permissions issue but it doesn’t seem to be this time. I’ve re-ordered the initialization code to try to catch where the error is happening and also put in some better error handling to at least give a more verbose message when the error fires.
  • Fixed a calculation error for salaried employees with a yearly salary period.
  • Fixed a problem with the Switch Jobs screen that could sometimes result in a clock out and clock in having exactly the same event time.
  • Employees clocked in with an OTHER time classification now have a purple status icon on the employee list screen (similar to those currently clocked in on vacation or sick time).
  • Automatic breaks are no longer applied to sick or vacation time.

Version 3.1.6 Released

A minor release of Time Clock MTS has just been released taking the software to version 3.1.6. Details of the (very few) changes can be found below.

  • Fixed a calculation error with the “Daily and Weekly Overtime (No Double Up)” overtime calculation method.
  • Added a “More Information” link next to the First Day Starts At setting on the Tools->Options->Payroll Settings screen. Lots of users are changing this setting without understanding the consequences and hopefully this link will prevent some of them from doing so.
  • Added a “No Job” section to the Job Time Report. Allows you to see what time was NOT spent working on jobs.
  • Changed the “What’s This” link to highlight when the mouse moves over it. This link can be found next to to the Use Fingerprint Scanner setting on the Tools->Options->Interface Settings screen.

Version 3.1.5 Released

Version 3.1.5 of Time Clock MTS has just been uploaded. This new release fixes up a couple minor bugs, adds a new report, and tweaks a couple of other things. Here’s exactly what’s changed:

  • Added the Late for Shift Report, this will be the subject of a later blog entry.
  • Added an employee tip total row to the Employee Tip Summary report.
  • The “Job:” label displayed in the last action text for an employee can now be changed on the Interface Settings Screen (as can most other labels on the main time clock screen).
  • Fixed up the Export to Excel functionality to stop non-printable characters being put into exported reports.
  • Fixed up the Payroll Summary Report that sometimes actually wouldn’t export the payroll summary information!

Version 3.1.3 Released

Due to the problems with Boulder time servers and the setting up of a dedicated Time Clock MTS time server I’ve done a rush release of Time Clock MTS version 3.1.3. This new release adjusts the Time Server dropdown on the Tools->Options Security Settings Screen by removing the non-functional time servers and adds the new dedicated server as the default. Note, that I’ve added the new server twice, once using the IP address and once using the domain name. The IP address may need to be used until the domain name record propagates around the internet (which it should do in the next 48 hours). I’ll remove the IP address entry in the next release of the software.
