Summary of changes:
New Features:
- Schedule – Advanced Filters Enhancement
Enhancements:
- Absences Screen – Usability & Clarity Improvements
Detail
What's new:
1. Schedule – Advanced Filters Enhancement
We’ve added an Advanced Filters panel to the Schedule screen, allowing managers to filter by department, section, position, and individual employees. Schedule totals update dynamically based on applied filters, while the existing Save Filter functionality remains unchanged for standard schedule views.
Roles impacted:
- All users who has access to the Rota
Value this change will add:
- Enables faster and more precise schedule filtering for large teams
- Reduces manual effort and reliance on external tools
- Improves accuracy of schedule analysis and totals
Change Details:
- Introduced a new Advanced Filters panel on the Schedule screen
- Advanced Filters panel allows filtering by:
- Department
- Section
- Position
- Employee search and selection
- Filters can be applied or cleared directly within the panel
- Schedule totals dynamically update to reflect only filtered employees
- Existing Save Filter button remains unchanged and continues to apply to the standard schedule view
In this example I've set my Group by option to
Group by Departments
and I filtered only on my Dining
Department
The results shows only my Dining Department on the Rota:
In this example I've set my Group by option to
Group by Person
and I filtered only on 2 employees named Anish & Armato
The results shows only the 2 employees on the Rota:
Assumptions & Limitations:
- Advanced Filters apply only while the panel is active and filters are applied
- Saved filters functionality remains separate and unaffected
- Performance depends on data volume and applied filter combinations
Impact:
- Faster navigation and analysis of complex schedules
- More accurate totals when working with subsets of employees
- Improved scheduling efficiency for managers handling large or multi-structured teams
What's changed:
2. Absences Screen – Usability & Clarity Improvements
We’ve improved the Absences screen to make leave information clearer and easier to understand. Tooltips have been added to explain leave balances and adjustments, and unused sections such as Holiday Pay Details have been reviewed and removed where appropriate to reduce confusion and improve usability.
Roles impacted:
- Employees
- Managers / HR
Value this change will add:
- Makes leave information easier to understand for infrequent or new users
- Reduces confusion around leave balances and adjustments
- Improves employee self-service and reduces support queries
Change Details:
- Added clear, user-friendly tooltips explaining:
- Annual leave entitlement
- Accrued leave balance
- Remaining leave balance
- Added a dedicated tooltip for the Adjustment field to explain its purpose and usage
- Reviewed the Holiday Pay Details section and removed it where it is not actively used or required
- Screen content simplified to focus on commonly used and relevant leave information
Old look:
New look without the Holiday Pay details fields and including the tooltip icons:
What the tooltips will look like:
For Annual Allowance:
For Accrued:
For Adjustment:
For Available Till Date:
For Remaining Accrued Leave:
For Remaining Annual Balance:
On mobile app:
And the tooltips:
For Allowance:
For Accrued:
For Remaining Accrued Balance:
Assumptions & Limitations:
- Tooltips provide guidance only and do not change calculation logic
- Removal of Holiday Pay Details applies only if no active dependency exists
- Calculations and balances remain unchanged — this is a usability improvement only
Impact:
- Clearer understanding of leave balances for employees
- Fewer mistakes and questions related to leave data
- Cleaner, more intuitive Absences screen experience
