Lets get into the updates below:

• User reassigned bulk email change
• Ability to add date to timesheet billing/invoices
• Adding Collapse/Expand options on Backcosting
• Ability to add/manage tags on timesheets modal
• Update Branch Timesheets Summary page to include to and from date picker

‍Weekly Schedule Change Notification option

We have now added the ability to choose a new type of Notification email option for schedule.

We still have our daily briefing email which goes out 7am every day to notify assignees of the changes made before hand.

However we now also have a new Once a week Notification option that goes out 7am every Friday morning rounding up all the changes made for the specific assignees.

You can choose this option at a branch level as a default for All projects or at a specific project level.

User Reassigned bulk email changes

While the project schedule's ‘Replace Assignee’ action allows you to reallocate all of a project's tasks assigned to one task assignee to another -

the Bulk Replace Assignee allows those with branch owner access to swap out an assignee from all projects they are assigned tasks to, and complete a number of handy actions at the same time

We have now released an update to this feature sending out a bulk email notification to the users affected letting them know the projects and tasks they have been removed from and the projects and tasks they have been added to in one single email.

Add To and From date picker to Branch Timesheets Summary page and update reporting types

The branch timesheets Summary page has two handy reports. An overview which shows all timesheet entries within the given date range And an individual user summary.

You can now customise the search timeframes by selecting custom in the Date Period box and choose any date ranges.

The reports have also been renamed to make it more clear that we have a total user summary and individual user summary on the same page both with varied information displayed.
