What's Improved in This Release
We've also made several improvements to improve reliability and usability across Shiftlab.
Chat Notification Improvements
We've updated Chat notifications for employees who are restricted from using Chat while off the clock.
What's Improved:
Employees who are not permitted to access Chat while off the clock will no longer receive Chat-related notifications while they are off the clock.
Chat notifications will become available once the employee is back on the clock.
Dropped Shift Transfer Improvements
We've resolved an issue involving dropped shifts that are transferred to another employee through the Schedule page.
Previously, a dropped shift could remain available after being transferred, which could cause the new owner of the shift to unknowingly have their shift available for pickup.
What's Improved:
Transferred dropped shifts are now properly cancelled when they are assigned to another user.
The new owner will no longer unknowingly have the transferred shift available for pickup.
Shift Consent Form Improvements
We've improved navigation within the Shift Consent Form when a schedule includes multiple breaks.
What's Improved:
Added scrolling to the Shift Consent Form when multiple breaks cause the form to extend beyond the available screen space.
Users can now scroll through the form and easily access the Submit button.
