Message Template Enhancements regarding Changed Email

A new message template called Admin Changed Email is now available!

When an admin user changes a user’s email though the edit profile wizard or import, the Admin Change Email message template is sent to the user’s old email address. For this message template, an admin user is defined as a user with a role and/or permission with the ability to edit employee profiles.

*Please note: Message templates must be in an active status for the system to trigger the message template and send the appropriate notification(s).

*Previously:

• When the user changed their email via the authentication user settings, the Email Changed message template sent notifications based on the message template configurations. The Message Recipients field options include: All, Creator, Supervisor, Manual, Billing, or Payroll.

*New:

• When a user changes their email via the authentication user settings, the User Changed Email message template (previously called Email Changed) sends notifications based on the message template configurations.

Reason Code & Reason Code Note Field Enhancements

Adding a required reason code(s) and reason code note on a punch entry is now easier and faster to complete!

*Previously:

• Users clicked the blue plus sign to expand the Reason section when adding or editing an employee punch that required a reason code
• Reason codes were individually selected and populated in the Added Reason Codes table by clicking the blue plus sign
• The Add Note field was required for each reason code requiring a free text note

*New:

• The expandable section called Reason has been removed and replaced with the drop-down field Add Reason Codes
• Multiple reason codes may be selected simultaneously via the drop-down menu
• The Added Reason Codes table has been removed
• The Add Note field is now called Add Reason Code Note so it is easily visible from the Notes field for the punch
• Only one free text note is required to satisfy all reason codes requiring a note
