Roster: The classic weekly closure has been converted to a release model. The approval status can now be changed for several departments at the same time.
The functioning of the weekly closure has not changed, but its operation has.
To close individual weeks, go to the toolbar to change the week’s planning status from “Draft” to “Completed”.

Open the “Weekly closure” dialogue by clicking on the “...” button next to the planning status. Here, you can now define the planning status of one or more weeks for several departments.

The “Word output” export feature has been removed, please use “Print” or “Print (template)”.

New export available for creating SEPA payout files.

The exports have been revised.
The exports are now offered in a drop-down list. In addition, some exports are no longer automatically available, but must first be created, similar to the “Dynamic CSV-Export”.
In addition, the authorizations have been adjusted. The authorizations from the payment orders area now apply to the exports.

During the update, some exports were automatically created if the system recognized that they were being used. Since the owner was determined automatically, it could possibly be wrong. After the update, please check all export settings to see whether the owner fits so far, or change them if necessary. Exports of the type “Dynamic CSV-Export”" are excluded from this, as they already had an owner before the update.

Cross-module

For contacts, the company can now be entered directly and officials or dignitaries can be marked.
Until now, companies and contacts had to be created separately and then linked. For simple cases, the contact’s company can now be specified directly in the name dialogue.

In addition, officials and dignitaries can be marked, whereby when outputting the address details, the person’s role and name are output above the company.

Improvements in sending emails (e.g. appointment letters, mail merges)
A preview feature has been added to the dialogue, and you can now select and configure the mail merge fields within the page, similar to the integrated template editor.
You also now have the option to send template attachments as PDF files.

Appointment letters can now be sent as mail merges. Further attachments can now be added to appointment letters.

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