In this report, user(s) will be able to input a number (mins) which would then be used to filter the results. In other words, if the number is 5, the only shifts that would show are the ones where actual clock-in time was more than 5 minutes greater than the scheduled clock-in time.
Following filters will be applied:
Following results will be displayed:
You will now be able to view the shifts in the open shifts widget until the shift time ends. Also , the users will be able to view upcoming open shift(s) for up to the next 30 days.
Now, if applicable, you will see Territory information on the Birthdays/Anniversaries widget. The widget shows birthdays for Clients, Caregivers and Staff members.
Now by default, the ‘SMS Logs’ widget will show all Incoming SMS for that day and the previous day. Also, there will be an ability to switch/filter dates.

Previously payroll data was exported to QuickBooks either by the entire batch or by single line items. Moving forward, you can select the appropriate items and export them as one-off batches.
On the ‘Accounting > Process Payroll’ screen and ‘Accounting > View/Process Drafted Payroll Batches’ screen, we have added the ability to perform a ‘Print and Export’ action on selected items.
On the Payroll screen, after posting data to QB Desktop, we have added an icon which says ‘Queued to Quickbooks’ to guide Agency users as to which schedules are in the queue. Agency users can still modify the queued items and post again. Once the schedules are posted the checkbox will disappear, so no posted schedules are re-posted.
When opening the Payroll Creation screen, initial results due to default filters have been removed which has decreased the loading time of the screen. Now the screen will load with no results and user can quickly apply their own filters. This will save you the time required to wait for the initial load.
When opening the Invoice Creation screen, initial results due to default filters have been removed which has decreased the loading time of the screen. Now the screen will load with no results and user can quickly apply their own filters. This is similar to the change noted above on the Payroll Creation screen.
While multi-editing schedules from the “Schedule Calendar”, the day of the week has been displayed next to the date so editing becomes easier. Having additional “Day” info will help in identifying and locating schedules.
While performing multiple edits from the Schedule Calendar, we have added a date range filter so that users can search for a custom date range to edit schedules. This will allow more reach over the number of schedules as compared to just one week earlier. This is implemented in both Group by Client and Group by Caregiver View.
With the addition of a button to expand all shifts at once makes it convenient to view and assign shifts.
This filter is placed at the bottom of the Schedule Calendar and will assist where an agency can opt to see Availability/Unavailability slots made on the calendar.
Previously, the “Running Late Notification” only triggered notifications to selected Agency users when a Caregiver does not clock-in within a specified time. We have expanded the functionality of “Running Late Notifications” which will now also trigger notifications, to the selected people, when a Caregiver, who is running late, clocks-in. To enable this notification, please navigate to Office Settings >> Notifications.
For example: An Agency have defined two agency users under “Running late Notifications”. So, if a shift is scheduled for 10:00 AM and if there is no Clock-in till 10:05 AM (based on Admin settings), the two users will be notified. Now the two Agency users will be notified additionally if the same Caregiver Clocks-in (within the threshold limits.
Previously the ability to reset a password was limited to the Admin users. Now we have brought this functionality to Agency users as well. You will be able to reset Caregiver and Other Staff member passwords from their respective listings.
Under Office settings > Rates > Configure Expense(s), can be configured up to 3 decimal places.
Agency users now can share documents with Caregivers from the Client Profile > Key Documents. Next to each uploaded document, in Client profile, there will be an icon named ‘Share with Caregivers’. Caregivers working with this client can then download and review those documents via the ‘My Clients’ section in the Web/Smartphone App. After sharing, the icon will change to ‘Stop sharing with Caregivers’ which you can then use to stop sharing the document.
Important Client details like Address, Age and Emergency contact have been made more easily accessible by showing them with the Client name on the grey strip at the top of their profile.
Important Caregiver details like Address, Age and Date of Hire have been made more easily accessible by showing them with the Caregiver name on the grey strip at the top of their profile.
On the Caregiver search/listing page, two new columns for ‘Date of Birth’ and ‘Hire Date’ have been added. This will give more insights on the listing page itself and reduce the need to go into each Caregiver’s profile to locate this info.
On the ‘Find Caregiver’ screen, only those caregivers assigned to the same territory as the client will appear when ‘Must Match All Criteria’ is selected.
On the ‘Find Caregiver’ screen, if you try to to assign an Open shift to a Caregiver who is Unavailable, the system will automatically show an Unavailability conflict. This will help the Agency troubleshoot availability when attempting to assign a Caregiver to a shift or series of shifts.
