This article will inform you of new updates to the Celayix platform in November 2023.

In this article, we'll look at the following new features:

Time zone sync for Audit report and schedule changes

Dropdown with lookup options only in References

Negative allowances in Time Processing

Employee quick view

Additional error banner

Bug fixes

The Schedule Change Audit report and Shift changes history now show change times in your database time zone.

Initially, these were only viewable in Pacific Standard Time (PST).

Here's some examples of where you can see the time zone sync.

The time of a Created, Updated or Deleted shift in the Schedule Change Audit report will display in your system time zone.

The time of a shift change in your Shift changes history.

There is a new References option that only allows you to choose from a dropdown list and prevent anyone from freeform typing. This option is in place to ensure consistency of references and to prevent anyone from typing incorrect information.

This is available for:

You can locate your references in Settings > Organization settings > Manage codes.

Let's use Shift reference lookups as the example.

The new options allow you to choose:

You can see reference lookups in the image below.

If you use Allow freeform text and dropdown with lookup options, you'll notice that you can type in the reference field as well as choose dropdown options.

If you use Dropdown with lookup options only, you'll notice that the reference box is greyed out. This will prevent all users from typing.

Using Dropdown with lookup options only, you will be required to click the dropdown arrow to select from the lookup list.

You can now add negative allowances in Time Processing. Your Allowances are located in Update rates and Hours form.

Note: These can only be added to worked shifts.

Once you've added your Allowance Type and Units, highlight over the 0 pay rates and type minus (-) and your Pay rate amount.

Press Save to add the allowance. This will immediately deduct from the shift's Total Pay amount.

You can use the Employee quick view to see basic employee information within your Schedule and Manage people. You can click the employee counter to view this information.

Note: Please Contact Support if you require this feature.

You can also do the same in Manage people.

A new update will show a double error if you've not chosen to display the section in which the error occurs. You'll need to display the section in your Employee form or Site form, dependent on whether the error is in Manage people or Manage sites.

In the example below, a double error has occurred in the References section of the Employee profile. However, you can see that the References section hasn't been selected in the Employee form.

If you receive a second error banner, ensure you've selected the correct section in your Employee form so that you can correct it.

Note: Once you've discarded the change, you'll be redirected to the Employee form.

This section is dedicated to any notable bug fixes that you've reported and our Development Team have fixed.

This issue is now resolved.
