Welcome to Humanity's Community!

Marking an Employee as Working w/o choosing times

It would be nice to be able to mark that an employee is working on a certain day without having to choose the time frame of their shift at that time. I like to start my schedules by planning out who is working what days, and then figuring out the time of their shifts afterwards.  

Submitting leave in Humanity

I think that as a development for Humanity it would be clever if an employee books leave between two dates that the system could calculate the time off shifts automatically without having to select individual days or separate entries.
 

Template for Notes field when creating shift

Hi. We run an international mountain guide service, running expeditions up some of the world's biggest mountains. We also run a very busy guide service locally for day and ½ day trips in our local area. When we make a booking, we have a set amount of information we enter into the notes field of each shift we create for a trip and assign guides to (party name, meeting time, location, whether the party has paid, whether we need waivers, which rig are we using for that trip, etc.), and it would be great if there was a way to add to a certain position, or in our case the activity that the shift is being created for, a template that is already populating the notes field that we can simply fill in and add to. We need this mostly as a reminder of the quality and quantity of info we need to obtain from a client for the guides' information so that  anyone taking a trip booking over the phone will remember to get those details.
Thanks!

Making the current date color more brighter

Hi Dev, 

At the moment the current date color is of very light yellowish and one can barely see that that is yellow. I would like to  have an option to change it to more brighter color or make it in a way that the current date stands out from the rest of the dates. 

It will not only help to see which date it is but also make it easier during making the shifts. Please do consider adding this in the future updates and I am sure that other clients will acknowledge it as well. Looking forward to that. Thank you. 

Edit Approved Leave Requests

Hi Team,

That would be great if we could have an option to edit the approved leave requests, Its a lot of extra steps if I just want to reduce the number of days on approved leave.

Message read Acknowledgement

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an option where the management can see which employee has read the posted message and which one has not yet seen it. 

If added, it will be a huge help and save us a lot of time. Please do consider it for the future releases. Thank you. 

More options for break

That would be great if we could have an option where the staff can select different types of breaks. Example: Lunch Break, Smoke Break, Toilet Break etc.

 

Allow us to edit our leave

Please allow us to edit our (approved) leave from the upcoming time off list.

Training notification

Hi Team, 
Please add a notification, where Managers are notified when the users have completed the Training and add another feature with the notification, where we can restrict the user to complete the training by X date/time. Both of the features are very useful and important for our operations. 

Reports - Employees with notes only

Hi Dev, 

I would really like to have an option in the reports where it can be categorized in a way that only those employees are shown, who has submitted the notes not along with them who has not entered any notes. 

Please do consider adding this in the future releases as if added, will make this app more user friendly. . Thank you. 

Automatically send the time sheets via email

Hi Dev, 

I would really like to have an option where the time sheets or any report which is required will be forwarded via email automatically rather then doing it manually, since it is very time consuming. 

I hope, this will be considered and added in the future releases of the application. Thank you. 

Availability widget

The manager wants a widget on the dashboard to show if an employee has marked himself unavailable for the day. 

Improvements to the Remote Sites screen

It would be very useful to have the following features in the Remote Sites screen:

• The record count displayed would make easy to detect if a new site has been added or an existing one has been removed
• Import/Export options similar to what is offered for other tables (e.g. staff & schedules)

Placing Future Availability on recurring basis

Hi Dev, 

I have a suggest to make in regards to Future Availability. 

Since it is very inconvenience to place the Future Availability on regular basis if is keep on changing regulary and would really like if there is an option to set the Future Availability on regular basis like the recurring shift feature. 

If added, it will save a lot of hassle and will be easier for us to schedule an employee without being concerned of the changing availability. 

I hope I made my self clear and this will be implemented in the future releases of the application. Looking forward to that. Thank you. 

 

Availability Settings

It would be nice to have a feature where we could only allow managers to setup availability for users and restrict employee permission level users to set availability. 

Bigger Checkboxes or Click anywhere to select

When managing multiple time sheets and i want to go kinda fast and select multiple check boxes i often find my self missing the checkbox resulting in me "clicking" the time sheet and displaying the "Edit time sheet" prompt. A tiny little difference as making the check boxes a lot larger will make the job a lot easier and the flow a lot smoother. I hope this can get enough attention to actually make possible because it is driving me crazy lol

Upcoming vacation in staff list

I find it really challenging to find employees' upcoming vacations. My current system is to toggle forward in shiftplanning until I find a day they have off, and click on that to see their upcoming vacations.

Can upcoming days off be listed somewhere under the person's name in the "staff" tab?

Auto log out on mobile apps

Auto-log out seems to work in the browser version, but not with the ipad/mobile version.

In those, the user doesn't get disconnected automatically.

Reduce Auto Logout time

That would be great if we could set the Auto logout to 15 seconds OR at least 30 seconds due to the security reasons.

 

Extending a recurring shift to an unlimited time

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have a feature where management has the option to extend a recurring shift to an unlimited time rather than having to go and create a shift and then place it on recurring for a certain time period.

If added, it will save a lot of hassle and I believe that this will be liked by other clients as well. Thank you

Adding Skills column in Available Shift Tab

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have a Skill Column in the Available Shift tab. When the nurses click on Shift Available this is the screen that comes up. I want the Skills field to show on this screen, you could replace Remote Site. 

https://i.imgur.com/0adfJDg.png

I hope you take this into consideration as we are a new customer and so far my nurses do not like this system better than the old one....

Looking forward to that in the future updates. Thank you!
 

Skill Based

Hi team,

We want is only to have the employees who have the skill checked on their the employee page be listed to work a specific position. And a red flag goes up if an employee without that skill is scheduled to work that shift.

Thank you!

Entering leave time in hours or partial days

I would like to have the ability to enter leave time in hours as well as days.  If I could enter days with a decimal figure that would help get me closer to the amount of time the employee actually has.The majority of our staff is required to go on 10/hr days during the summer when school is not in session so when an employee submits for leave they are technically using 1.25 days. I need to be able to enter the number of hours currently available to each employee and then on July 1st add new hours that are given for the new school year (year runs July 1 thru June 30th). Hours accumulate. Employees are entitled to use leave in increments as well. This would be a valuable feature so that employees can see available leave in a more reasonable length of time as opposed to the system that we are currently using which can be weeks behind. 

Payroll Settings

Dear team,

I'm concerned about downtime between shifts. We operate on a 10-hour turnaround for employees to get enough rest, and I was wondering if there was a way to have the system alert me via notification or any other way!

Thank you.

Future Availability

It would be great to have repeat function introduced in FUTURE AVAILABILITY section so we could add it instantly instead of adding one day at a time. 

Setting to Auto Publish Schedule

There should be a setting to set a date for auto publishing of a schedule. 

GPS - Updating location after 30 mins

Hi Dev, 

I’ve Been Asking For Your Team To update The Location For About 5 Months Now. I Want My Officers Locations To Be Updated Every 30 Minutes So I Know Were they Are. Right Now With What you Offer, They Can Clock In And Leave. Come Back 8 Hours Later And Clock Out. And I Wouldn’t Know the Difference.

That Needs To Be Updated. There Are Other Companies Like Yours That Offer That Feature For The Same Price Or Less then What You Charge. 

I hope this will be considered in the coming updates of the application and will be acknowledged by the other clients of yours. Looking forward to that. Thank you!

Open Shift Colors

I know that we can select colors for the specific positions, however, it would be great if we could select a specific color for the open shifts.  This would allow you to have those shifts "pop" out in the overlay display.

Accrued Leaves

That would be great if we could put in the accrued leave days and we could easily set up the accrual formula and have the time clock function show their accrued hours they have available.

 

Staff Personal Load

There should be a feature where we could enter personal loan taken by staff member and we should also be able to reduce that personal loam amount on weekly basis. 

Shift acknowledgement

The shift acknowledgment should also be available on the ShiftPlanning,.So that the managers can check if any specific shift is acknowledged or not through the ShiftPlanning.

Setting to restrict number of employees per shift

Hi my  request is in regards to restriction of number of employees we can assign per shift, as it should be a safety net not assigning 2 persons on the same shift.thanks in advance 

Details in unacknowledged shifts

Would it be possible to include more details when an employee unacknowledges a shift? We have 100+ shifts, and it would help if we knew who unacknowledged and for which shift.

Add meetings

That would be great if we could add meetings in the scheduled hours.

Weekly total hours average

For the managers, we'd like to see the weekly average of each person that worked since they've started as well as between two dates set.

Hours display in day view

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have a feature where the scheduled hours are being shown in the day view of ShiftPlanning,  Since it is pretty inconvenient to need to run a report just to monitor the hour totals while making a schedule.

Having a sum of hours in the daily view or at the bottom in a weekly view would be very helpful. I hope this will be considered and added in the future updates of the application. 

Looking forward to that. Thank you!

Auto Approve Time Sheet

Dear Team,

Could you please create a feature where automatically approve timesheets on certain staff?

Thank you!

Personal Reminders

Hi team,

Please introduce a feature where managers can set personal reminders. for example, new employees have evaluations coming up or Ins enrollment, etc...

Thank you!

Auto-Fill Employee

While Auto-filling the employees who have already been assigned to any shift with different hours should also be scheduled through auto-fill.

Message Inbox

There should be an option to share files through the message inbox to improve the functionality of the feature.

Notes/Descriptions should be visible to employees

Employees try to request Leave and it won't let them because they aren't doing it far enough in advance. We give them the info at Orientation with the deadlines and time frames, but everyone seems to forget...so a constant reminder whenever they try to request Leave would be most helpful so they will maybe learn and remember the info. 

The description should pop up in the white space on the Leave screen when they selected that Leave type. That way they could read it and decide if that was the Leave type they wanted to select. Then they could change the selected Leave type in the drop-down menu and the newly selected Leave type description would show, so they could read that and decide.

 

 

Task Assignment

It would be great if we could have an option for 'Employees' to create and categorize their own tasks instead of Schedulers/Supervisors/Managers having to assign these tasks for them ? This would be a really helpful feature!

Notes in task section

That would be great if the employee could add notes into the task section when they start or end task.

Add notes to a Position

There should be a possibility to add a permanent set of notes to a position. All of our positions are tied to specific locations, so it would be great if we could have an address show up when we schedule a shift for them via the permanent set of notes.

Our positions are tied to regions, so just using the location address doesn't work, as the location is just a general area. 

BambooHR - Time Stamps

Hi, 

At the moment Sync History timestamps are set to UTC, please set or add an option to select the time zone, so we can match when exactly the Sync was made. 

Exceptions in Auto Approved Time Sheets

There should be exceptions other than which the time sheets should be auto approved. e.g.  If the shift is over 10.5 hours THEN leave as unapproved for manual review otherwise approve the rest of the shifts.

Disabled Employees

Hi team,

It would be great if you introduce a Report where we can extract disabled/deleted employees list date wise with the status and information just like a Custom Report.

Thank you!

Time Clock - Position management

Hi Team, 

It would be a very nice feature to have all the positions arranged alphabetically as they are shown in the full version of the application while an employee is clocking in. 
Many employees are facing this error while they are attempting to clock in using their Android devices, here is a screenshot for the same as well. 
https://prnt.sc/nyhah2

You can clearly see that the positions are not arranged in proper order here. I hope this gets voted up and fixed/implemented soon. 

Restrict Employee to Click on Continue Shift

Restrict Employee to Click on "Continue Shift " earlier then 30 minutes coming back from break  

Thanks 

Open Shift report

What we need to do is essentially create a report that shows the volunteers for each open shift, the overtime hours they have worked over a selected time span and the details of that shift (date, time, skill, etc). The process needs to be automated and the snapshot needs to be saved each time a shift is assigned. Depending on how this is implemented, we may need changes to some reports or even a new report.

Event Logs and Permission restrictions

Hi Dev, 

I have 2 suggestions (improvement of feature requests) which I would like to share for you to consider them in the future updates of the application:

1. If a filter is added in the Event Logs as per module, so that it will be easier for us to locate a particular event. Also if the name of the event is more obvious under Actions or with a different name. 

2. Manager should have the option to restrict the staff member of Supervisor and Scheduler permission level from editing the time sheets. 

I hope that I have made my self clear and these suggestions will be looked upon and some actions will be taken in order to implement them changes. 

Looking forward to them. Thank you!

Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval

We are required to document the assignment of overtime shifts.  Our process is to generate a report of hours worked over a set timeframe for all employees with the required skill.  We then choose the volunteer with the least overtime worked.  It’s easy enough to regenerate the hours worked report but without a list of the volunteers for any given shift we can’t show that we followed the process. 
The Humanity Dashboard “Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval” page has all the information we need.  We need to archive the required information automatically so it’s available if needed but does not add time or work to the scheduling process.
Please make the following changes:

1. Add a checkbox to the top of the Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval page that says “Archive on Approval”.
2. If the Archive on Approval box is checked, the entire Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approvalpage will be archived before the approval is actually processed.
3. The archive function will automatically save the entire page as an XLSX filewith the title “MM DD YYYY hhmmss.xlsx” The name should automatically populate with data for the users local time zone.
4. Destination folder for the saved files should be specified by the system administrator somewhere in the advanced ShiftPlanning settings.

Open shift to be available

When I remove an employee from a shift and it becomes empty, can it be auto available to pick up? 
Thanks. 

 

Leaves in payroll reports

The approved leaves should also be shown in the payroll reports. 

Undo changes options

Please put in a persistent "undo". Like the simple age-old "paint" program, or like Google docs, or any other program that we use, we need an undo to be allowed without any time specification or limitation to revert the changes accidentally made to schedules

Allow to request unpaid leave

We have employees that have tried requesting days off. If their pto balance is less than the days requested, they are unable to request the time off. It would be great if employees could request days off as unpaid and/or paid time off. 

Dates section in request leave needs more clarity

Dear Humanity Team, 

The current leave feature has two dates option to select from. Employees figure out the first date as to the day when they are asking off, but when it comes to the other one, majority makes mistake. The second date selection needs to be the date of return or in the current case, date leave ends. Whichever is the case, it needs more clarity by adding two words description. 

Adding a filter in Vacation Summary Report

Hi Dev, 

I would like to add filter in the Vacation Summary report where we have the option to select the leaves according to their status (Approved, Rejected or Pending) rather than having all of them in one report. 

If it is added, it will save a lot of time and I am confident that this will be liked by other clients of yours as well. 

Looking forward to this addition. Thank you!

Adding a conflict column in Vacation Reports

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have a feature to include Conflicts section in Vacation Reports. 

Scenario: 

When an employee requests Leave, and is scheduled, those shifts show up in the Conflicts column. However, when I pull the Report for Vacations, the conflict column is not present, therefore I no longer know which shift that employee was removed from.

Also if possible, please add this so that it can be recorded in Event Logs that an employee has been removed from the shift in result of an approved leave request. 

I hope that I have made my self clear and was able to address the issue here. Looking forward this to be added in the upcoming releases. Thank you!

 

View time sheets for other staff members

I would like to have a setting in my Humanity account where I can give access to my employees to be able to view timesheets for other employees for reports & payroll purpose, and at the same time, I do not want to give my employees access to be able to edit timesheets for anyone including themselves. 

Training progress visibility

It would be a great feature to have for managers. 
After accessing the employee account, on the top right corner or any where top; the manager should have a visibility of the employees training progress. 
In our line for work we are constantly updating training modules and its hard to keep a track record for the same as we are not provided with any kind of report for the same. 

I am attaching a screen shot for your ease in understanding my feature request. 
http://prntscr.com/nyt6kc

I hope that this made sense here. 

Print the actual GPS location

"Please add a feature where we can download a report of Employee GPS Locations addresses" This is very vital for our business and it is also very hard to investigate the employee locations at the end of the month due to so many entries. 

Open shifts and Schedule hours Report

We offer Overtime to our staff in the form of open shifts, so we would like to have a report that shows the scheduled shifts and the number of overtime hours offered to the staff(open shifts).

For now, we have to incorporate different report types manually to pull up the required data, which is quite cumbersome and time taking for us. We appreciate having the required option. 

Block Time off Requests by Department

My company has multiple locations and multiple departments at each location. I would like to be able to block time off by department, because what works for one department does not work for the entire company. 

"Add Clock Time" Pay Type and Amount Fields

Hello Dev Team! Thank you for helping with the below feature!

Add the ability under "Time Clock" --> "Add Clock Time" to not only add tips, but add in any type of pay and an amount for that pay. For example, this could be a "Miscellaneous Pay" field or drop-down "Pay Type" field similar to the "Tips" option currently available. Then you would be able to add in an amount similar to the amount for the "Tips" option.

This is extremely important to have the ability to add in miscellaneous pay for payroll purposes that is a hard-coded amount rather than calculated based on hourly rates. This feature would benefit many and we should be able to add in time sheets manually this way!

THANK YOU! :D

-Dan

Availability

Hi team, 

I was wondering if it was possible for employees or managers to set up a block of temporary availability, instead of just one day at a time. Because I would love that! We employ several students and people with rotating schedules, and it would be really nice to have the option for block changes to availability.

Thank you!
Gillian Ritter

 

Color coding for staff

The staff should be color coded in the shift planning to make things easier.

Extra details for Schedules

We're looking for the ability to schedule groups of assets/equipment and link to an employee schedule.

Time on timeclock

It would be nice if there was a clock shown when employees go to clock in. We actually were getting ready to fire an employee who consistently clocked in 1-3 minutes early(beyond the allowed 10 minutes early). I happened to think about checking the time on the time clock right before I asked her to come to my office. I clocked in at what the computer said was 3:13 pm, when I pulled it up in Humanity it said I clocked in at 3:11 pm. Humanity does not show a clock before employees clock-in, just a time once they have already clocked in. The employees go off the time that is shown on the computer. So it is now hard for us to monitor the timeclock. Also, our employees no longer know what time they are actually clocking in.

Time filter in reports

The client requested that there should be a time filter in the timesheet reports so the managers can filter to see what time the employees are clocking in and clocking out. 

Late for work Notification for Employee

We would like to have a notification alert added, that notifies employees after their shift starting time is past, stating that they are running late for work.
Currently the notifications that we have in the system is to notify managers about employees being late for work. We require the same alert to be sent to employees as well. 

Rippling

Rippling is an HR software like Bamboo. 
Would love an integration with Humanity and Rippling.
Currently they integrate with other scheduling platforms like "When I Work"

Position summary cost

Hi Guys, I realize the position summary cost is for scheduled shifts not confirmed shifts. Could you please add the cost for confirmed worked shifts? When I select the option for "Switch to confirmed shifts" it does not work.

Thank you & looking forward,

Candra!

Adding Position codes

The ability to add the positions codes without having a payroll provider selected and it could be pulled up in the payroll reports. 

Add more flexibility to clockin/clockout options

We have built clockin/clockout terminals in our office that utilize the Humanity API. We would now like to disable the ability for people to use mobile login. This option is not currently available and disabling clockin/clockout would also disable the API functions. Since our application is hosted by Google Cloud servers, the API call may come from one of any many thousand IP address that Google Cloud uses. 

Could we please see an option to specifically limit Clock in / out request to only API calls or have the ability to add ranges of IP addresses instead of one at a time.

Thank you.

Custom Report for Actual Clocked in/out time

That would be great if we could pull up a Custom Report for the Actual Clocked in/out time even if we have set rounding for clocking in and out. That would be more convenient.

Thank you!

Work units

We have team members who regularly work extra hours in 30 minutes (for example 8.5 hours if they work an extra day) - it would be nice if work units were able to be in 30 minutes, as they have to add an extra hour to receive the overtime. 

Add Reported Conflicts to Vacation Reports

When a leave is requested, it shows any schedule conflicts with that leave before approving the request. After the request is approved and that employee is removed from the schedule, the conflicting shift does not show up in the report. Is there a way to add conflicting shift that was removed to the report, and have it enabled retroactively?

Thank You

Publish and clear schedule

We should be able to clear the schedule for at least a year together and the publish option should also work the same way. 

Custom Fields

Employers should be able to move custom fields to be in the order they want.

Skills assigned

The staff should be able to view the skills assigned to them by the management.

Edit Wall Message Post

A manager should have the ability to edit a Message Wall Post. Currently, you can only delete it.

Folders available for Shared Files

We would like to be able to sort our files by specific topics and being able to sort them into folders will make it a lot more manageable.  It will also make it easier for our employees to find the file they are looking for.

It would also be nice to be able to view the file in the browser opposed to downloading it.

Projected Hours Worked / Approaching OT report

Hello - we are looking for a report we call Projected Hours Worked / Approaching OT report.  The structure of the report is pretty simple:  Acutal hours worked + remaining scheduled hours = project hours worked. 

Example:

Employee A was scheduled for a total of 38 hours for the work week.  On day 3 of the work week we would like to run the Projected Hours Report.  The projected hours report would show that Employee A has already worked 30 hours and has 16 scheduled hours remaing therefore the Projected Hours for Employee A is 46.  This report would enable the management team to indentify an employee who's projected hours would result in Overtime and to affect their work schedule for the remainder of the work week to hopefully avoid the OT.

Add employees emails:Hours Scheduled Custom report

We need to see the email addresses of the employees in the Hours Scheduled Custom report. 

List of leave entitlements INCLUDING leave not tak

I can get a report showing leave entitlemenst for those who have taken leave but not for those who have not taken any leave.  For accounting purposes I need set up an contingent accrual for the possible expense for staff to take their leave.  We have about 90 staff so it is difficult to make sure I have records for each and every staff.  For example if 20 staff have not taken any vacation yet this year and they are to earn on average 15 days at $150/day that comes to $45,000 I have to accrue for which does not show up on any report I can find on Humanity.
 

Payroll - Salary Feature

The client (James McNally) says that there should be a salary feature in the application rather than the salary workaround which the Support provides to the employees. 
He did go through this article:  https://helpcenter.humanity.com/staff-and-leave-management/managing-location-and-positions/salary-handling
But wants that we should have this feature in development. 

To add tasks through eExcel import

We have a lot of different tasks so we want to have ability to upload tasks when we import shifts via Excel in ShiftPlanning. 

Breaks in Shift Approval

Please add Break Times in Shift Approval so we could calculate break time in Confirmed Hours Report.

Report that includes Time Clock Location

I would like a report that can display either the "Time Clock Location" where an employee clocked in and out from or the IP address they clocked in from.

Leave Renewal

Our employees get 12 vacation days a year but they only earn one day a month. Humanity adds 12 days automatically in January. I want to be able to control leave renewal and not have the 12 days added in January. I want to be able to add one day a month myself . Humanity needs an option on what leave time we want renewed at the beginning of the year.

Feature for time-clock for specific/all employees

We would like to have a system feature/setting where the employees can come to work earlier and when they clock in the system would grasp the actual shift clock in time automatically so that the employees are not working overtime and their worked time is marked according to their shift times automatically and adjusted.

Scheduler to get leaves approved by their managers

Our schedulers currently approve/reject leaves for themselves. The scheduler shouldn't be able to approve or decline his own leave, leave request should go to his manager or admin for approval.
 

Scheduler to get timesheets approved by manager

The scheduler shouldn't be able to approve his own timesheet, timesheet should go to his manager or admin for approval. Currently, it is not the case so schedulers approve their own timesheets. 

Dashboard for master account to show child info

We want the admin of the master account to be able to see on the dashboard of the master account information for all stuff from the child accounts (rather than to generate the report/reports). Is it possible?

Copy shift from one person to another on any date

We need the possibility to copy/move a shift from one person to another person on any date. We expect to see this in schedule overview, week view. 

We can only copy the shift for one person to other people on the same day. But we can't copy/move shift from one person to any other person on any date. 

E.g. you can't take one shift for the 2nd July and give it to the different person on the 3rd of July.

Supervisors to be able to see Leave tab for Staff

The manager is the only one who can see the leave tab for staff, no supervisors can't do that, and in our case supervisior should be able to see it. 

Permission levels customization

We would like to give schedulers access only to certain things, not to everything - Locations, Staff, Positions. The same for Supervisors. So we would like to customize permissions for different group levels.
 

Scheduler permissions

We would like to have the option to automatically add schedulers to newly created positions. So, each time when we create a new position to add the scheduler for that position. 

Improve the long term view "Visual View" by Mth

We are using Humanity with much success. I need to use it as a high level scheduling board. Humanity "ShiftPlanning"contains the functionality to view all work for a period as a "Visual View" and by "Month". This view give me what I want but I can't see the detail of the jobs, just the start and finish times. Can the job view be modified to show the job description (as per the "ShiftPlanning", "Week" view) in this format? If so, I can then use a touch screen application to change the dates etc.
 

Dashboard Widget for "Shifts Coming Up Today"

At present we have a widget for people who are late, and people currently working.

On some days my company has a lot shifts and I need to be able to see what is coming up that day without looking through the Shift Planning tab.

eliminating notifications for late/no clock in

Would it be possible to allow staff to use the app to clock in but not send notifications to them if they do not clock in for a scheduled shift? 

Add requests for the past

I would like employees to be able to request leave for days in the past.  Otherwise if someone wants to use PTO for sick time, I have to go enter it manually or use two systems to keep track.  Employees get errors if trying to request PTO for the current day and any prior days.

Publishing Shifts

Please add a feature were we can right click a shift and publish just the one block.  If there is more than one unpublished shift, in the same day same location, but one has an employee and the other doesn't.  I want to be able to publish one shift without publishing the other.

Shift Requests

Please add a feature for employers to see the Shift Requests received in order of date/time of the request made. 

It would help us decide who to approve the shift for if we get multiple requests for the same shift. Yes, I can go into events log or view emails but with 100+ employees, that can be time consuming.

Upload Pics as Files to Staff

Files for each Staff member is a great feature, but it doesn't work with the mobile app. There is no way to access these files or upload new ones from the mobile app. Allowing the app to access photos and/or the camera on a phone would allow managers to take pictures of W-4, I-9 and other onboarding files, as well as any write-ups or other documentation for each employee.

Add "Trainer" Account Type

Add a new Account Type that allows a user to have the ability to add, edit and assign training. Without this account type, a Trainer must be assigned the Manager Account Type with full admin rights.

This Humanity Community thing is very slow

It's great that these feature requests feature exists and I use it a lot, but gosh does it have some serious issues.

• It takes ages to load anything, when I first started using it I thought that it didn't work at all and had crashed but it was actually just still loading
• I don't get the button to look at my own feature requests until I start to make a new one
• I can't quickly track likes/comments on all my feature requests without going into each one individually
• Browsing other people's feature requests is a slow, cumbersome nightmare
• Hotlinking to any particular page on this community except the feature request itself doesn't work
• I can't sort requests easily
• There's no quick and easy way to find if a feature I'm requesting has already been requested
• I could go on but you get the idea.  Apart from being agonisingly slow, it's missing almost every single feature that one would expect to see in a modern community forum

Have Humanity team considered moving to one of the many established open-source forum softwares that exist such as phpBB, myBB, etc. - people of high school student age can create quite secure and professional looking forums for free with phpBB, I feel that integrating a platform such as this might be a lot easier for end users as well as help take some of the weight off of community management for Humanity staff.  Thanks for considering!

Upload Pics to Message Wall

Request the ability to attach a picture to a Message Wall post. This would be beneficial in many ways, such as posting weekly specials or features, displaying pictures of employee events, etc. This is common among smart phone users and today's younger generation expects this type of functionality in a communication tool.

Open Shift restrictions

If we limit an employee's availability, it would be nice if open shifts (outside of their availability) did not present to them to pick up.  They are able to select "Request to work" even though it shows "You are unavailable."

If this feature cannot be added on the employee side, it would be helpful if the manager was aware that the employee is unavailable.  We have 400 employees that we manage and it is difficult to know everyone's availability.  

Option for retest of selective employee/s

Hi Dev, 

I would like to request a feature where management should be able select an employee or employees if they are required for re-submitting in case they have missed something or has not passed the quiz. Currently it is set that all the employees need to take a retest even if some of them have completed it and it is not very convenient especially if high number of employees are involved. 

Please do consider adding this in the future releases of the updates and will be highly appreciated. Looking forward to that. Thank you

Pending Leave Requests for All Employees to View

There should be a pending leave requests calendar which will allow employess to view leave requests made by employees that are pending approval. This will allow employees to view when other employees have already submitted time off;  therefore not scheduling time off at the same time as another employee. This would extremely help out when trying to schedule staff when a manager has yet to approve vacation/time off. 

 

Scheduled Hours Conflicts

There should not be a conflict for minimum scheduled hours for the employees who are already are on leave.

Improvement request.

Break reminders

If an individual is scheduled 6+ hours have a reminder that they need to take a lunch.

Add "Videotron" as a Mobile Network Provider

We have 20+ employees that are using "Videotron"as their mobile provider in Canada. We would like Humanity to add this as a list of their Network Providers so our employees may confirm their cell phone numbers and receive SMS notifications. 

staffing page glitchy

so when you click on the staff tab..only a percentage of the staff show up....one must click on "all staff" upper left hand corner to see all the staff and this is rather confusing. I suggest you fix this.

Username Instructions

IMPROVEMENT: The username can only be set up using the lower case letters and numerical figures. Whereas, the upper case letters are not allowed. This one small piece of information causes a lot of confusion while setting up one.

I believe this could be avoided simply by adding some text under the username prompt letting people know the requirements. That would be great!

 

Notification for Shifts that have been Published

The notifications that the managers send regarding the Published Schedule does not include what day of the week are the employees (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Weekend).

The notifications should include what day of the week is the employee working on along with the date and time.

PO system for Time Clock Module

Humanity should have a PO system as a feature built-in with the time-clock module just like we like viewing Labor Costs vs differential costs.

Deduct Break based on Time

We always have our lunch break between 12-13. Is it any way that you can set this so it's an automatic 1 hour (non-paid) lunch break during this time is deducted from all the logged-in agents

Timesheet upload results popup gone too fast

After a time sheet upload, a message pops up showing the results of the process. Unfortunately the message is only display for a few seconds so the user is forced to take a screen shot.

It would be useful if the message stays in the screen until the user closes it. It could also offer the option of saving the message as text.

 

New Permission

I would like a new position that would be an Employee + the ability to add any training modules. That would be the only additional permission. They would be a trainer.

Required Skills as Filter for Shift Trades/Drops

When I add a required skill to a shift, it would be nice if when the shift is dropped, it is only made available to employees who have that skill.

Scenario: Some of our employees are not allowed to work past certain times due to labor laws. Employees without restrictions are assigned a skill that indicates they can work at any time. Shifts with restricted times are given that required skill.

Issue: If an employee drops a shift with a restricted time, currently any employee can accept the shift. This means that I have to manually double check the age of the employee before I approve the request.

Request: Restrict who can pick up dropped shifts or swap shifts based on employee skills.

Changing shift repeat options.

Hello Developers, 

Scenario: a shift is created, given to a staff, open slots created, then a rotation is added (ie: 3 on 3 off).

Problem: rotation would like to change (ie: to 4 on 4 off). I can't change the rotation without deleting the shift and starting again. I can't even remove the rotation. The only way to do so is to copy the shift to another day/staff via drag and drop. 

Request: allow schedulers to edit shift repeat options after they have been created. It doesn't have to be able to affect all other shifts in the series -- at the very least allow the cycle to be changed/removed in a single shift, however it would be nice if it affected the whole series as well. :)

Changing color of the shifts

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an option where the management has the option to change the color of the shifts without going to Locations and Position in order to do so, in exceptional circumstances. 

It will give us more control and this will be more user friendly as it will cut the hassle to change the color or entire position. 

I hope that this will be considered in the future releases of the application and other clients will like it as well. Looking forward to that, thank you. 

Future update

Hello.  In a future update for "Payroll" would it be possible to break down a wage report so that it sub-totals each by each event title.  It is OK if you only have one event that day, but if you have two or more it just totals the entire day.  I have attached two screen shots for you to see what I am talking about.  I am trying to find a way to catch my total labor cost for each event.  Looking forward to seeing this in the near future.  Thanks
 

Standardise rules for deactivating staff

Where I work, we (unfortunately) deactivate staff from time to time.  Depending on who is doing the deactivations, we'll get different prompts appear to confirm these.  If someone with Manager permissions does a deactivation, we get this:


That's a great screen because it allows us to decide what we want to do with their upcoming shifts. 

Unfortunately, it's not always the manager who does the deactivations, if someone with Scheduler or Supervisor access does a staff deactivation, they don't get this question, they just get this screen instead:



This works fine as a deactivation but it leaves all their shifts up without deleting any of them.  That's annoying because it trips up our schedulers' calculations.  I guess we can just get managers to do all the staff stuff, but that's annoying for our managers to micro-manage that sort of thing when they've got other important stuff to do and it's really the scheduler's job.  We'd like it if Schedulers and Supervisors were to get the first screen as well, not the second screen, so they can auto-wipe shifts out completely when removing staff from our system.  Thanks for considering!

Dashboard Reminder Feature

There should be a feature which should allow me to post some reminder tasks for me only on my dashboard so it could be used to pin notes as reminders. I just need an area for Task Reminders for us Owners and Managers.

SSO improvement Suggestions

Hi Dev, 

Any chance you're going to work on implementing easy SSO for those of us a little less technical? I tried the directions I was given a bit ago but still don't have the option to log in via Google. Most of our other apps have this so that we can click a button and it gets set up automatically. 

I don't want to spend a ton of time troubleshooting this as I want to request that you guys build this so that we can easily turn it on. As well look for secure systems, it is an important functionality. 

1. it allows us our team to QUICKLY log onto all their systems each day
2. it allows them not to have to remember multiple passwords
3. and it makes it so that they don't paste passwords on their computer.
4. it should be an easily turned on functionality

I hope that these suggestion will be dealt with according and will be introduced in the future releases. Thank you. 
 

Permissions

Hi Dev, 

I have several feature requests, which I would like to be inlcuded: 

1. Our director has given three of us Manager status. Our three names along with his are included in the list of employees. For now, that is fine because we are using ourselves to train and practice. But once we start using the database with the actual employees and producing real schedules, the four of us should not be included in the list because we do not get scheduled for positions. Other than deactivating names, is there a way to remove our names from the list yet still be active in the account and keep our same status?
2.  During print schedule, Is there an option to have the dates repeat on each additional page? 
3. When we make our changes in ‘Print Options’ and click ‘Update’, I thought that would save the formatting of the schedule so every time we go back into it and need to print again, it would be the same each time and all we would have to do it click print. But I have to choose the options every time I go back into it. Question Is there a way to save the options?
4. is there a “reverse” or “undo” function

I am sure that these all will be considered in the future releases of the applications. Thank you

Staff Profile Layout

To whom it may concern, 

I would like to have the options:

1. where we can get important information about our staff at the top of their profile. Now it is spread all over. We want Name, DOB, SIN, Cell, Address, Start Date, hourly pay all to be right on top of the screen when we click their name. 
2. an alert when an employee updates their information on Humanity
3. at least can we have it showing up in red if it cannot be on top

It would be nice if these options are added and I am confident that other clients would like them as well. Looking forward to those additions in the future updates. Thank you!

Instant Messenger

Humanity needs some kind of instant messenger. In our case, one of our employees may have a question about where something is located at a client's house. There's no reason for a phone call and at times the client may even be asleep; so calling is not ideal. They need to be able to instance message them, through Humanity, and get the answers they need right away. We can't use the Message Wall for this because that is published to everyone. The Message Inbox also isn't ideal because email (internal or external) is not the same as IM. 

Paid Leave/Holidays

I have made a position "Holiday" and "PTO". I wish there was a way that if I scheduled an employee on these positions it would automatically add a set time to their time clock. Customer Support says you can have paid or unpaid leave types, but there is no way to customize leave types to add hours to the time clock. It would be nice that either leave types or positions can automatically add a customized time to the employees time clock.

Employee Data Discrepancies

It would be a nice feature to have, that the disabled employees are not counted towards the active employee while viewing the names of the locations/positions and the employee count in front of them. 

- Here is a screenshot which will help you understand the discrepancy in the data:: http://prntscr.com/nsrseo

Allow employee/employer to choose how name appears

Screen-shot: http://prntscr.com/nsfagi
 

It would be a nice feature to allow an employee to employer to choose as to how their name appears in the ShiftPlanning module and in Humanity. Customizable options should include: 

1) Nickname
2) Initials
3) Employee ID
4) Customizable Option
