Oriador Staff Rota Version 1.5 Released

A new version of Oriador Staff Rota was released.

  • New sort options: Start Time: Earliest (earliest start in visible period), and Start Time: Initial. These sort the rota view by the staff start time, these are very useful when looking at the single day view.
  • New Calendar Month view option, shows an entire month at a time.
  • Attendance information now has visible impact on the Rota view and the Roles view, there is a view option to disable this new feature.
  • All Day statuses are now represented in the Status View. The "Not Working"/"Day Off" status is not shown.
  • 9 New reports split by Employee Type.
  • 5 New Timesheet reports split by Staff.
  • New staff pay reports split by month.
  • New Refresh Read Only Files option. When a file is opened in read only mode, the system will monitor the file for changes by another user and reload when necessary.
  • New Auto Backup option for .rota files and the Oriador.dat data file. When saving, the previous copy of each file will be retained with the extention ".backup". This is activated by default.
  • New redundant copy option for .rota files and the Oriador.dat data file. When saving, you can request that the software save a second copy in a backup directory somewhere. You have to activate this setting in the preferences if you want to use it.
  • A new "Show Role Color" view menu option, this will show the Role color where appropriate, but revert to the Status color in all other cases. The previous option has been renamed "Show Role Color Only".
  • You can now have the web export option without the colors.
  • Fix: When right clicking the name of a member of staff in the rota view, sometimes the menu to change their shifts would show, instead of the reset and sorting options.
  • Fix: The first column on the diary screen didn't work.
  • New customization option: remove non-working statuses from the "By Role" reports. This allows you to print the Rota By Role reports without showing staff on annual leave or training.
  • New customization option: hide all day statuses in Status View.
  • New customization option: show all day "not working" in the status view.

Oriador Staff Rota Version 1.4.1 Released

A new version of Oriador Rota was released.

  • Fixed a problem when extending rota files that have had their first day of week changed.
  • Added date selectors to the "Save Rota to Staff Patterns" window. This allows a staff shift pattern to be created from a selected section of a rota file, rather than just the entire file as before.
  • Added a customisation option to make the Shifts Toolbar "Add" shifts to a day, rather than "Set" the shift. "Set" clears any existing shift for the day, whereas "Add" allows multiple shifts to be added to the same day.
  • A few recently added reports weren't hidden/disabled when they should have been.
