Time Management – December 2025 Release Notes

The Updates is aimed at improving Schedules, Reports and overall user experience.

Executive Summary

This release introduces a significantly improved scheduling and workforce management experience, driven by extensive client feedback and support insights.

Admins can now create and manage Full-Time and Rotational schedules faster and at scale using auto-generated Time Block Tags, eliminating manual start and end time entry during bulk uploads. Simply assign a tag (e.g. MS-N41) and the system automatically applies the correct shift configuration.

The Reports module has been enhanced to provide comprehensive workforce analytics with export capabilities across Attendance, Overtime, and Shift Management, enabling better payroll processing, compliance, and operational insights.

The Device Manager now supports multiple biometric devices per location, allowing organizations to configure separate entrance and exit devices within the same building, alongside improved device lifecycle management including device deletion.

Finally, the entire platform has been refreshed with an improved UI/UX, delivering clearer context, better information hierarchy, and more intuitive actions for Admins, Managers, and Employees.
