Improved Response from Datafox Terminals

Up to RU40, the Time Zone Settings of the responsible System User was used to create the Timestamp in the Time Clock Integration. We have now changed the logic to instead use the Time Zone from the Time Tracking Terminal record.

Feature Introduction

Now, instead of using the Time Zone from the user Settings of Employee User > Manager User > HR Manager user, the information is retrieved by using directly the Time Zone from the terminal, giving the exact time as it showing on the terminal, when it´s being used. This simplifies the setup (as only the Time Zone setting of the terminal has to be correct for the integration to work), and also makes the response time a bit faster. Combined with this topic, the configuration for the Time Zone was now simplified, and the field can be easily found and configured by the HR Manager inside the Digital Personnel File of the employee.

Technical Details

Please make sure that the time zone property of the Time Tracking Terminals (xrm1_time_tracking_terminal) is configured correctly. This can be easily done in the Settings Area -> Time Tracking Terminals -> select your terminal.

Introduction to Leave Accrual functionality

With the release of RU40, it is now possible to give entitlements to the employees based on the accrual system.

Feature Introduction

Largely used in the US market, the functionality allows the companies to distribute the entitlements in intervals pre-defined (monthly, bi-weekly or weekly).Since the amount of entitlements may vary based on employment time, this was also covered by being possible to setup multiple entitlements with different starting dates in the Employment Term.

Technical Details

Inside the Employment Terms, or Employment Terms Template, a new field was added, where the HR Manager can set it up the intervals, in which the employee will receive his entitlements. With a simple addition of a switch button, the solution will offer some time intervals, and the correspondent flow will run and add the slices of entitlements direct on the Leave Summaries of the employee.

Note

The employee will not be able to request a leave bigger than the current sum of his entitlements (in standard). The rollout feature was excluded from the accrual system, instead, another condition was added on the Flow, and it will add the entitlements based on the data contained on his Employment Term.

Improved Multiple Plugin Step Registration

Before RU40, the solution contained asynchronous and synchronous plugins that were called at the same type to perform an action. We have now improved the logic by creating the plugins asynchronously only.

Technical Details

As part of the new Rollup, all new plugins were created asynchronously, which has the great advantage that App-Source prefers the plugins and also complies with Microsoft's standard.

App Adjustments for Power App per App licenses

Microsoft will move to Power App per App (1 app or website/portal) licenses, and Hubdrive is ensuring that everything works fine for users, when accessing the app, so we are changing the way of accessing the app.

Technical Details

Because of Microsoft recent changes, we are now ensuring that users (with Power Apps per App licenses) of our HR Solution, will have access only to one app. In this way, HR Hub Admin, Recruiting and Talent Management app were removed, but their functionalities were implemented inside the correspondent app for the user. Having all the functionalities in just one place also means that the users don´t have to switch between apps anymore, everything that they need can be easily found just by changing the area.

1. The app HR HUB now contains all the functionalities from the HR Manager Self-Services and from Employee Self-Services.
2. The app HR Manager Self-Services has also the functionalities from the Employee Self-Services.
