Manage User - Batch Update User Leave Approval Method
First update of the month is a function that allows you to batch update the Approval Method settings. With this, if you need to change the Approver for more than one user, you can easily do so by first selecting all the relevant users, then choosing Manage > Change Approval Method.

Before you make any changes, please also take note of the requirements for using the Any Admin or Immediate Supervisor method.

a) Pop-up for ‘Any Admin’ approval method
b) Pop-up for ‘Immediate Supervisor’ approval method
c) Pop-up for ‘Specific Sequences’ approval method
  Manage User - Description Update
On Manage User page, we’ve also enhanced the Introduction/Description. This is to brief Admins on how they can update basic user details and provide a reminder to switch to TimeTec Profile for more advanced changes.

For example, user’s contact details are not available if you click Edit on this screen. It can only be accessed from the full profile when you are using TimeTec Profile.

b) Switch to TimeTec Profile (App Change window)

  Manage User - Organization Structure Auto-Matching when you ‘Import User’
From the start, TimeTec Leave comes with a batch ‘Import User’ function allowing Admins to import user information from .xlsx or .txt files.

For the .xlsx file, if you have multiple divisions, you could also set up Organization Structure (e.g. Sales & Marketing, Production and etc.) in advance, then import user lists in separate sheets, according to the divisions. During import, by selecting the appropriate Organization Structure value for each sheet, users will be directly imported into their division.

In our latest release, we’ve improved this by providing auto-matching for the Organization Structure value. If you’ve already named the separate sheets by divisions, then you no longer have to select the Organization Structure in Field Matching module. The system will automatically match that sheet to the corresponding division in your structure. Below are some of the screenshots for reference:

a) Organization Structure Auto-Matching

b) Error Message - When unable to perform Organization Structure Auto-Matching

(e.g. Due to similar names within Organization Structure)

  Leave Policy - Added "View Sample" hyperlink for Leave policy template.
In March, we introduced a new range of leave policy templates to help ease the whole setup process. Instead of building your leave policy from scratch, Admins can now choose to start with any of the pre-configured templates that are designed to suit different types of companies. The new range includes ‘Technology Development’, ‘Small and Medium Sized Enterprise’, ‘Corporate’ and ‘Education’.

In our latest release, we added a “View Sample” hyperlink so that you can refer to additional information about each template before you choose the best option. You’ll see this link whenever you click the drop-down list for “Copy from” template. Refer to the sample screenshots below on how to view this:

a) Leave Policy > Add Leave Policy
