The Best Testimonial of 2011

Version 3.2.10 Released

As I write this Time Clock MTS version 3.2.10 is being uploaded to our servers. There’s a couple of bug fixes in this release and a new feature.

  • The job selection list (reached by pressing the * button the job code entry screen) is now sizeable.
  • When using the department folder view of the employee list interface employees who are clocked in with the time classification OTHER are now displayed with a purple status icon.
  • Fixed a problem with the report field that was causing OTHER time taken on the last day of the report period to not be included in the report.
  • Time with the OTHER classification is no longer included in overtime calculations if the Sick/Vac Time Affect OT setting is not checked.

Version 3.2.9 of the software was also uploaded earlier this week. This fixed up a bug that stopped existing shifts from being editable.

A New Version of Time Clock MTS Released

Version 3.2.8 of Time Clock MTS is being uploaded as I write this entry. This new release now includes the current job number on the Employee Status Report. It also fixes up an error that was thrown on various maintenance pages on the Options screen (namely the Departments, Employment Types, Holidays, Shifts and Jobs pages) when the Edit button was pressed immediately after adding a new item to the list. Thanks to the long time Time Clock MTS user who was able to put me on the right track to fix up these errors which I’d been trying to track down for quite a while!

New Time Clock User Reviews Posted

You may or may not know that we’ve got a time clock user reviews page that we use to put up nice emails or comments about the software we get from happy Time Clock MTS users. We put these emails up exactly as we receive them. We got a couple of good ones this week including one (completely spontaneous) email from the operations supervisor of a very large agricultural resources company. We’ve been working with this gentleman quite closely for several months ironing out usage problems he had with the software as well as adding some reports that he wanted to see. Clearly he’s happy with the result.
