ENHANCEMENTS

[#52226] Set ‘Timesheet Status’ to ‘Blocked’ when Project Status is not ‘Active’ for Non Agresso Projects

On the Project Summary Dashboard, we have a Timesheet Status label that shows whether timesheets are “Active” or “Blocked” for the Project.

For Agresso linked projects you can update this field from ‘Active’ to ‘Blocked’ and vice versa using Project Amendments.

However, Non-Agresso linked projects have until now had no ability to amend this field and it is confusing to have a project ‘Complete’ with a Timesheet Status of ‘Active’.

Going forward, when the project is set to ‘Complete’ the Timesheet Status will set to ‘Blocked’ automatically for Non-Agresso Projects.

[#52810] Users able to submit more than 24 hours for a given day

We have added an additional check on the Log Time on Tasks feature that ensures no more than:

  • 24 hours of time can be logged onto a job per day per user, or
  • 24 hours of time can be logged on a user’s timesheet for all jobs per day

[#50347] Email the support team when we have an ‘Overlap’ issue

There are sometimes cases where the single Pulse userid is linked to 2 user accounts. When this happens, we don’t always know immediately and it causes issues with users entering time. It is also not always something we can resolve automatically.

Sometimes it is because both accounts are agr_valid = Y and we need Agresso to switch one to ‘N‘ before we can resolve.

The solution for this is a weekly summary email sent to pulse.support@havas.com with a summary of all Pulse users linked to 2 Agresso Accounts.

From here the support team need to review the list and action accordingly by either:

  • agr_valid to both or one of the accounts
  • Setting pulse user to No to one of the accounts
  • Relinking to the correct account
  • Suspend the account in Pulse
