  • TaxSlip.aspx - Tax Slip:A new feature has been added that empowers the users to have greater control over their Tax Slip. A new checkbox labeled 'Show Emp. Tax Adj.

Fixed Issues

  • LocationTracking.aspx - Location Tracking: Location tracking was not visible on the screen. Also, data was not showing in the Filter panel.
  • Leave Report - Leave Requests and Balances: The system was not showing "Leave Balances" of subordinates if the supervisor has no rights of any "Location" even if the subordinate was showing in the "Employee" combo box in the "Report Specific Parameters" form as per the "Define Workflow" rights.
  • EmployeeWiseRoster.aspx - Employee Wise Roster: Employee was not able to see his roster in view-only mode.
  • IndividualTimeSheetAdvanced.aspx - Individual Time Sheet (Advanced): The position name was truncating in the report.
  • 'ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request: "Number" base field in the "Request Fields Setup" screen, was also accepting "Text" in the field.
  • 'EmployeeWiseRoster.aspx - Employee Wise Roster: The screen was observing too much slowness.
  • 'ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request: "List" data type field value was not being displayed.
  • TaxSlip.aspx - Tax Slip: The formatting design for handling null values in the respective block was fixed.
  • Apply Leave - Apply Leave "طلب إجازة": In the expectation messages where the message pop-up box appears on this screen due to any false apply limit or count condition, the message "Cancel" button was replaced with an "OK" button.
  • Apply Leave - Apply Leave "طلب إجازة": Updated the leave rule "how many time allowed" limit when a new leave year starts with a leave type having a "Leave Year" cycle. For example, if the leave year ends in June 2023, the system now permits users to apply leave on July 1, 2023, without checking the validation of previous days. For leave types with a custom-based cycle, all limit conditions validate according to the defined settings in the "how many time allowed" section, without year-based validation.
  • MAIN - Portal Main Page: Fixed the issue where clicking on an "Organogram" link in the "My Team" widget was opening a blank page in a new tab.
  • GenerateRequest.aspx - Generate Request: Corrected the message "Yes" button to "OK" button on the message "Supervisor is not defined" when a user attempts to submit a request without a defined supervisor. This correction has been applied to all popup messages, ensuring consistent language translation.

  • Apply Leave - Apply Leave "طلب إجازة": If the "how many time allowed" section was defined while a user applied any type of leave, whether it was hour/day-based, the system now considers the previous counts based on the setup defined in the "location grade setup" screen from the "from date." If the conditions met the defined criteria, the system did not allow the user to apply for any further leave. Instead, an alert message was displayed, providing details about their remaining limits and the date from which they could apply for future leaves. This setting has been implemented accurately and consistently across all leave types, regardless of whether they were hourly-based or day-based.
  • ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request: In the "Request Field Setup" on the HCM side, when configuring settings for the "Fill Missing Attendance" request, an issue was resolved. Previously, when the request was sent to the supervisor and viewed in the history section, the "Date" tag lacked date information.This has been addressed by introducing a new tag called "Attendance Date," which now displays the filling date information.
  • EmployeeWiseRoster.aspx - Employee Wise Roster: Resolved an issue where users without rights in the "Supervisory Control Setup" were unable to view their records in the screen.
  • GenerateRequest.aspx - Generate Request: Resolved an issue where an error was occurring upon clicking the submit button to apply any request.
  • ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request: The system was not ignoring the duplicate values of check-in or check-out with identical values during request approval in RMS integration.
  • List of Leave Detail - Leave Status Detail "التفاصيل الإجازة": The "Detail" button on clicking in the screen was hanging and was taking too much time to open this detail screen.
  • ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request: The issue of slow performance affecting screen actions has been resolved through the implementation of optimizations that substantially improved responsiveness, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience.
