Activity Report Attachments (Media Uploads)

Uploading New/Edit

Report Attachments are finally here! You can now attach files (media - pics, short video clips, medium audio clips - otherwise) that are relevant to whatever report you're logging.

Look for the ATTACHMENT + button in the Activity Report Form, you can attach one or many attachments and review them on the Client Report Detail page when you're done logging your report.

You can upload media from either desktop or mobile browsers, the individual file limit is 20MB.

NOTE: Uploading from mobile browsers, like mobile Safari or Chrome, cuts out the importing steps needed if uploading from a Toughbook or Desktop.

Admins and users actively working Shifts can also add or remove attachments by Editing the Activity Report from the Client Reports List or Detailed pages.

Add Files Example

You can select more than one file at a time for upload depending on the operating system dialog capabilities (mobile may only allow one at a time, depending).

Detailed Example

 

Employee "Time card" Payroll Access

Cop & Civilian Role Users can now access their last two full payroll periods.

This will allow employees to audit, submit corrections, and approve payrolls, which will help reduce the amount of communication traditionally required for that process. The totals they see are affected by the new Payroll Toggle Defaults. Whatever is set there will affect how the report behaves for Cops & Civilians (with the exception of the CSV Exports, as those are only allowed for higher privilege Roles).

 

Employee Payroll Example

 

 

Work Order Enhancements

Patrol Work Order Tour Schedule Additions

• Billing Item
• Billable Rate (per tour)
• Holiday Rate (per tour)

 

Tour Schedule Example

 

Dedicated Work Order Shift Schedule Additions

• Pay Rate (hourly) - Generated Shifts are assigned this rate. Having this on the Shift Schedule allows for different rates to be set depending on the Schedule. Updating these values on existing Work Orders will result in any generated Shifts in the future that have NOT been modified (e.g. by plugging in an officer) receiving the new rate.
• Billable Rate (hourly)
• Holiday Rate (hourly)

 

 Shift Schedule Example

 

These settings are intended to reduce the amount of duplicate Work Orders that may have been required for different levels of services prior to this release.

Client Read Receipts

Client Views "Read Receipts"

We've had several requests from Client upper management to allow them to determine when subordinates might log in to view Activity Reports. So, say the district manager of a property management firm wants to make sure their property managers are viewing crucial reports. This is now possible via read receipts in the Client Reports List and Report Detail pages.

NOTE: This only applies to other Clients with the same Location Rights. Clients will only be able to see if another Client User has read a report, they will not be able to see when Internal staff (e.g. the officers, or an account manager) have viewed reports. This is to ensure that there are no disconnects and/or miscommunication that could impact customer service perceptions.

 

Client Views Example (appears on both the Modal Popup on the Client Reports List AND Client Report Detail pages)

 

Payroll Updates

We've added some new customization options to Payroll Settings along with a new export format called Payroll Export! This is a line-item breakout intended to simplify the Payroll upload process for third-party vendor services. This will save a ton of time and effort while preparing payroll each cycle.

Pay Code & Toggles Settings Example

The Pay Codes show up in the new Payroll CSV Export and are summarized per pay code. The summary line items in the CSV export break out according to employee, pay rate, and pay code (defaults are: 1099 PAY, SALARY PAY, RT, OT, HOL, & HOT).

New 'Payroll Export' Toggle

Output Sample


Your Detailed Export hasn't changed other than it now considers new detail breakouts for Holiday and Holiday OT. This should round out Holiday Pay nicely!

As mentioned above for the new Employee "Time card" Payroll Access, the new Payroll Toggles: Page Load & Auto Send Defaults will determine what the default Toggle Settings are when Payroll is loaded fresh (e.g. clicking on Reports -> Payroll). This is true for Cops & Civilians as well, especially since they don't have access to additional Filters & Toggles like Admins, Schedulers, Accounting, and privileged Site Managers do.

Switching Franchise (market) Contexts will load these defaults per market, but bookmarks with toggle setting that differ from those set in Payroll Settings will still be preserved. That basically means that the Payroll Default Toggle Settings won't interfere with bookmarks and copy/pasted URLs that might differ in Toggle values.

Since some markets have different default values for their Toggles, this will come in especially handy for anyone tasked with quickly switching between Franchise (market) Contexts.

Finally, the Payroll Toggles Settings will apply to the Auto Send reports that are sent out the day after each payroll cycle ends, for anyone electing to receive them (as defined in Payroll Settings) that is.
