Enhancements

Introducing Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

We're thrilled to announce the addition of Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to our application, enhancing security measures for our users. 2FA requires the presentation of two distinct forms of identification before granting access, ensuring robust protection against unauthorized access.


Key Features:

  • Dual Authentication: Users need to provide both a traditional "Password" and a "One-Time OTP Code" for access.
  • Multi-Channel Delivery: "OTP Codes" can be received either via "Email" notification to the registered "Email Address" or through "SMS" on a registered "Cell Phone".


SET_S005 - System Defaults: To facilitate the implementation of 2FA, we've introduced new parameters in the screen.

  • Enable/Disable Feature: Admins can now control the enabling/disabling of 2FA for the "SmartHCM" application providing flexibility in its application by using the "OTP_AUTHENTICATION_HCM" parameter.
  • OTP Code Customization: Admins can configure parameters such as "Length", "Expiry", and "Regeneration Intervals" for "OTP Codes", tailoring security settings to meet organizational requirements by using the "OTP_CODE_LENGTH", "OTP_EXPIRY_SECONDS", and "OTP_RESEND_WAIT_SECONDS" parameters.


ESS_S001 - Notification Calendar and Settings: In conjunction with 2FA, we've added a new "Notification Type": "Login OTP Notification" to the screen. This notification keeps users informed about "OTPs" sent during the login process.


Login - Login: The 2FA feature is seamlessly integrated into the login screen of the "SmartHCM" application, enhancing security without disrupting the user experience.


How to Get Started

Admins can navigate to the "System Defaults" screen to configure "2FA" parameters according to organizational needs. Ensure all users are informed about this new security measure and guide them through the setup process.


Note:

  • Admins are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new parameters and configure them appropriately to maximize security.
  • Users should be educated on the importance of "2FA" and guided through the setup process to ensure a smooth transition.


We're committed to providing cutting-edge security features to safeguard your data. Embrace the added layer of protection with Two Factor Authentication (2FA) and fortify your accounts today!


  • Apply Leave - Apply Leave "طلب إجازة" : When applying multiple leaves consecutively on the same day, users have been unable to start the next leave from the previous one's end time. They have had to wait one minute, resulting in a deduction of few hours as absent.

Fixed Issues

  • MonthlyTimeSheetApproval.aspx - Monthly Time Sheet Approval: If a suggestion was pending, a restriction had been set on the approval of the timesheet to ensure that supervisors did not approve timesheets in the absence of overtime suggestions.
  • ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request : When the user was not included in a workflow and possessed the process rights (allocated through the request rights setup screen), the approved request did not appear within the specific ID associated with those process rights.
  • ManageRequest.aspx - Manage Request : By default, the date range was not selected correctly, and it displayed an error message.
  • DetailPayslip.aspx - Detail Pay slip : The "Days Worked" field showed a value of "Zero (0)" in the report.
  • Default.apx - Dashboard : The alignment of all widgets on the Dashboard in ESS was set.
  • Login - Portal Login Page : On the "Login Page," "Smart WebPortal" was displayed. After logging in, it showed "SmartESS."
