Comparative Analysis – Synovia Site

• Fixed an issue with the Tier Start Success Rate report that was displaying database values in the results in the Start Time column instead of human-readable time values.

Time and Attendance (in the Synovia Interface)

• On the Import Employees screen's Scheduling tab, changed the options for deleting old files: Now, there are two radio buttons with options to keep files based on the count (with the default being the last three files) and based on age, which will allow users to choose the number of days old files will be saved.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing exporting the Employee Field Export report to PDF.
• Fixed an issue with editing time cards that would remove activities if the user opened the Edit Shift screen and then hit the Back button to return to the time card.
• For both legacy and Synovia TAA, fixed several issues with absence requests, including the employee not receiving an approval email, duplicate historical records on the Absence Requests screen, primary approvers being sent the email designed for secondary approvers to inform them that they didn't need to respond because the approval was already made up the chain, and secondary approvers not seeing the requests on the Absence Requests screen.

Here Comes the Bus

• In Synovia, added three new Activity Mileage reports, Activity Mileage Summary by Employee, Activity Mileage Daily Details by Employee, and Activity Mileage Daily Details by Vehicle and Employee, which return the miles drivers have traveled for activities over the entered time range, plus their total mileage, unaccounted miles, and their number of trips (in summary, on a day-to-day basis, and in day-to-day data with separate rows of values for different vehicles used by the driver, respectively).
• In Synovia, improved the Activities feature by making it available the day the license is turned on. (Previously, due to a backend process, this required 24 hours to work.)
• Handled a problem that occurred due to the Word/Excel practice of appending a leading or following space when copying and pasting, so users who copied/pasted their email address and school code on the login screen of the HCTB website had extra spaces in the fields; now the website will trim those.
• In Synovia, fixed an issue that was causing a long load time for the HCTB Messaging screen.
• Fixed an issue that was preventing some parents from receiving email and push notifications.

Mobile Data Terminals

• In Synovia, limited the size of messages (to be sent to an MDT) written on the Compose Message screen to 600 characters. At the bottom right of the Message box, the user will be shown as they type how many characters they have remaining.
• In Synovia, fixed an issue that was preventing users from viewing the Mail screen (even though their role allowed them to) due to licensing crossovers.
