What's New in Web TimeOff 1.5


New features in the Version 1.5 product release include:

  • The ability to carry over an existing time off balance to a new period
    When making changes to the time off settings for an employee, the balance that exists from a previous period can be carried over as the starting balance for the new settings.

  • Customizable weekly days off at the system and employee level
    Non-working days in the week can now be customized for each employee. These days are not counted as time taken off when included in a time off request. Weekly days off can also be set at the system level, which are used as the default when adding new employees.

  • Improved data validation and user feedback when importing employees
    Web TimeOff offers improved verification of data being imported, which prevents invalid values from being introduced into the system. In addition, comprehensive error messaging is provided and failed entries are now isolated in a secondary CSV file, allowing users to quickly locate and resolve errors.

  • Simplified Time Off Summary report
    The Time Off Summary report has been simplified with the introduction of the Change at Reset column, as a replacement for the Reset Gained and Reset Lost values. This new field indicates the amount by which the employee’s time off balance changes when a reset occurs, using a positive value to indicate a gain in the balance and a negative value to indicate a loss.

  • New utilities to assist system administrators
    A Windows-based utility, SendWelcome, is now provided with Web TimeOff. This tool provides system administrators the ability to better manage when e-mail notifications are sent to welcome employees to the system. In addition, a backup user account is now automatically created during installation. This account can be used to restore the system administrator account when it has been inadvertently deleted or modified. The password for this account, which is under the User Name root, is specified during installation.
