Contracts: Part-time periods can be saved.
Within a contract, you can enter temporary or long-term part-time periods under “Different working hours”. As a result, separate contracts are no longer required.

Cross-module

Master data: Word templates can now be edited directly in the programme.
Instead of Word, an editing window is now opened directly in the programme. This offers functions similar to Word and has an additional function for the mail merge fields:
You can select the available fields on the right-hand side, define settings for them, and insert them into the document as a finished Word field.
If you still want to open the document in Word, you will find a corresponding entry in the master data in the context menu.

theasoft is developing a module for planning production processes The module will support the scheduling and organisational planning of productions. The activities and work processes, including the resources required, will be represented in a Gantt chart, which is common in project planning.

The module is still under development. If you are interested or have suggestions for the requirements, please contact us by email or phone.

Further information on the individual items can be found in the relevant help sections.
