While I am writing this entry Version 3.3.5 of Time Clock MTS is being uploaded. The changes made to this version of are detailed below.
- The software incorrectly displaying employees as clocked out after switching jobs has prompted a re-write of the code run when employees are selected on the employee list interface. The result is that the incorrect display is fixed, the number of database accesses has been reduced considerably and response times have improved.
- Added some new fields to the Export Data system. This includes the <HOURS_DECIMAL> field which displays times in decimal format regardless of your global time display format setting. The other two fields added are <EXPORT_START_DATE> and <EXPORT_END_DATE>.
- Added capability for pre-defined (and read only) data export formats.
- Added pre-defined data export formats to suit Sure Payroll and Union Bank Online Payroll.
- Exporting data will now group Normal and Holiday time if they have the same rate code.
- Exporting data will now group OT1 and OT2 if they have the same rate code.
Note that for the Sure Payroll and Union Bank Online Payroll export formats to work correct you must set the Time Clock MTS employee badge number to the corresponding payroll system employee ID. Also, because Time Clock MTS does not track first and last names separately employees in Time Clock MTS must be named using the form Last Name, First Name. For more detailed information see the Sure Payroll integration or the Union Bank Online Payroll Integration How-To articles.

Time Clock MTS version 3.3.4 has just been uploaded. This update includes two minor changes to the Reports->Export Data->Data Export Formats screen. There’s a new setting called “Single Employee Entry” for Aggregate Data Exports. When checked aggregate exports will produce a single entry for each rate code for each employee over the export time period. When not checked an entry is produced for each day during the export time period. The second change allows users to have a multiple line header.

Some interesting requests from users of our time clock software over the last few weeks have lead to many of the changes in Version 3.3.3 of the software which has just been uploaded. Here’s the details of the changes made to this version.
- Added a header setting to the Export Data system. This allows a fixed header row to be defined for exported data sets.
- Fixed a problem where the main application window disappeared after doing a large data export.
- Hours on aggregate data exports are now formatted correctly.
- Disabled employees are now displayed at the bottom of most employee lists.
- Disabling an employee no longer requires a complex confirmation process.
- The Daily Hours Report now only runs up to the actual selected report end date rather than the end of the week that the report end date is in.
- Added a new “clock out” button to the Edit Times screen. This allows the time clock administrator to either clock out the selected employee or clock out all employees that are currently clocked in.
- Changed some of the database connection settings to make the connection more reliable.

Two new reports are the main changes to Time Clock MTS Version 3.3.2 which has just been uploaded. Other changes included adding the Job Description field to the Job Entry and Job Management screens and making the columns on the job management screen sortable. The two reports added are the Daily Hours Report and the Missed Days Report.
A grid of employees against hours worked for each day of the report period.
This report gives each day during the report period where the employee did not clock in or out, perhaps indicating a day absent from work.

There’s been some usability enhancements made to version 3.3.1 of our time card software as well as some small tweaks and a change to sick and vacation time accruals. The details of the changes made to this new version are shown below.
- The job selection screen now remembers the last window size when it is re-loaded.
- You can now sort the columns on the job selection screen by clicking on the column headers.
- Fixed up some minor layout issues on the vacation and sick time accrual screens.
- Added the “Apply Starting Balance Annually” setting to both sick time and vacation accruals. When checked this will start each years available sick or vacation time with the “Starts With” balance for the accrual schema. Note that this setting will only take effect if the “Carry Balance Forward Yearly” setting is not checked. Note also that the date the balance is applied depends on your “Use Hire Date Not Fiscal Year” setting.

Time Clock MTS version 3.2.13 has just been released. Detailed changes for this new version can be found below.
- Fixed the Add Employee Tip screen that could leave the bottom employee in the list scrolled off of the bottom of the screen.
- A scroll bar is now displayed on employee bulletins that are more than 5 lines long.
- A fix has been put in place to stop the main application window disappearing when a very long report is generated. The same problem seems to be happening when using the Edit Times screen but I’m trying to get to the bottom of that.
- Stopped the double expiry warning message when in the last 10 days of the trial period.
