New features & Enhancements

Improved Experience when Adding or Editing Expenses/Mileage

• When adding an Expense or Mileage claim, it is possible to include multiple lines on each claim.
• Each of those lines can contain a number of fields, depending on each customer’s configuration.
• Our customers fed back that employees found it difficult to discern where the fields for one line ended and those for the next line began
• As a result, we have made improvements to the user experience when Adding or Editing Expense or Mileage Claims to provide improved visual separation between the fields for each line.
• This experience is consistent across both the Expenses and Mileage functions.

Approver field added to Employee View

• The ‘View’ page on the Employee Card displays a range of information about the Employee in one place, suitable for printing or saving as a comprehensive record.
• Customers fed back that the ‘Approver’ field was missing from this view, and that it would be useful to have it included.
• We have added this field to the ‘View’ page under the job Details’ heading, alongside other similar fields such as the Manager and Head of Department

Integration with Azure Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID

• Following requests from customers, we have created an integration between HRWize and Azure Active Directory (now known as Microsoft Entra ID)
• This integration allows key user data to be transferred from HRWize into a linked Azure AD instance, in order to create, update and disable users.
• This removes the need to duplicate data entry when setting up users in HRWize and Azure AD and mitigates the associated risks of erroneous entry.
• The integration includes the following actions:

- Creates a user in Azure Active Directory when a user is created in HRWize.

-  Updates a user in Azure Active Directory when a synced user is updated in HRWize.

- Disables a user in Azure Active Directory when a synced user is disabled or deleted in HRWize.

• As part of this integration, we have added two pages for use by Administrator users:

-  Azure Integration Settings

(Admin > Company> Settings > Azure Integration Settings)

This allows users to specify the ‘Allowed Domains’ which can be sent to Azure and any additional fields to be sent alongside the mandatory fields

- Azure User Sync Event Log 

(Admin > Company > Event Logging > Azure User Sync)

This allows users to view information about events sent to Azure, their status (pending/success/failed), error reasons, and resend them if necessary

• Please contact Support or Account Management for further information on this integration.

Fixes

Users: The ‘Hide delete icons’ setting incorrectly appears when editing a Manager user. Issue resolved where the ‘Hide delete icons’ setting was incorrectly shown when editing aManager user. This setting applies only to HR users.

Time Off: Unable to Request Time Off where the name of a Child Time Off Type contained an Ampersand (&) character. Issue resolved where an error message was displayed when an Employee requested Time Off and the Child Time Off Type (or ‘Reason’) selected contained an Ampersand (&) character

Meetings: Scheduled Meetings with along ‘Location’ display incorrectly on the Calendar view. Issue resolved where if a long unbroken string (for example, a URL) was entered in the ‘Location’ field of a Scheduled Meeting, that Meeting would display incorrectly in the calendar.

Time Tracking: Error Bulk Archiving Time Tracking records when ‘Link to Working Patterns’ is set to ‘No'.  Issue resolved where an error was displayed when Archiving Time Tracking records using the Bulk Archive option. This error occurred only when the setting ‘Link to WorkingPatterns?’ in Time Tracking Settings was set to ‘No’.

Reporting: Unable to Copy / Duplicate Report Builder Dashboards.  Issue resolved where a permission error was incorrectly displayed when a user attempted to Copy or Duplicate a ReportBuilder Dashboard.

Social: Company Value tags not working correctly in Social Recognition templates. Issue resolved where the [company_values] tag returned the incorrect text in a Social Stream post when used in a Social Recognition template.

Medical: Medical Module incorrectly displayed under ‘Do you want to display different modules for Self Service?’. Issue resolved where if a user selected ‘Yes’ for the ‘Do you want to display different modules for Self Service?’ setting on the Display Settings page, a checkbox for ' Medical’ was subsequently displayed. The ‘Medical’ module does not have Self-Servicefunctions and therefore should not appear here.

Reporting: Expense and Mileage Approvers shown as “Not Found” in Report Builder. Issue resolved where the Approver 1 and Approver 2 fields in Expense and Mileage-related datasets would return “Not found” when a customer used the system’s default Expense/Mileage approval process. This did not occur for customers using Workflows for Expense/Mileage approval.

Documents: Default Emails for Documents Requiring Signatures are not sent using Custom SMTP Settings. Issue resolved where, if a Document is uploaded which requires a Signature and the Company uses a Custom SMTP server, that email was not sent using the entered Custom SMTP settings.

Reporting: Incorrect values are displayed in the ‘New Salary’ field of Payroll Integration Reports. Issue resolved where if a change is made to an Employee’s Manager, Head of Department, Head of HR, HR Business Partner, Approver or Super Approver, that change resulted in an incorrect entry in the ‘New Salary’ field of the Salary Changes report that is produced by the PayrollIntegration function.

Reporting: HR Users unable to Create/View Pivot Tables in Report Builder. Issue resolved where an error message was displayed when a HR user accessed a Pivot Table report in Report Builder.

Reporting: Error when running reports containing the ‘Timesheet created date’ field. Issue resolved where an error message was displayed when a user viewed a report using the ‘Timesheets’ or ‘Timesheet lines’ dataset and containing the ‘Timesheet created date’ field.

Time Off: Issues when booking Time Off where the Holiday Year is either less than or greater than 12 months. Issue resolved where the Holiday Year End Date was incorrectly applied when bookingTime Off if the company’s holiday year was either less than or greater than 12 months. This can occur when a company moves from a January-December Holiday Year to an April March Holiday Year, for example.

Forms: ‘Manager name’ field shows Employee’s Name when downloading Self-Certification Forms. Issue resolved where the ‘Manager name’ field in an export of Self-Certification Form Data displayed the Employee Name instead of the Manager’s Name.

Employees: Anniversary Reminder emails show the incorrect anniversary year. Issue resolved where the emails sent to Managers from the system’s default Anniversary Reminder process displayed the anniversary one year greater than the correct year (eg, 2 years instead of 1).
