{{::expense_image_portal.png?400|}} \\ \\
Extra Timesheet documents/images can now be viewed from the Tempdesk using the Document button. If you only have the one main image this will work as it did before but if you have two or more when you press on the Document you will be able to view the main document/image as well as any additional ones. \\ \\
{{::extra_docs_on_tempdesk.png?400|}} \\ \\
Provisional Timesheets that have Images attached online cannot be deleted unless the images have been saved elsewhere.\\ \\
For Agencies using the client setting 'Provisional E-Timesheets' which keeps online completed timesheets in the provisional state, a new background colour has been introduced to help with identifying which timesheets have been signed by the client and which have not. \\ \\

==== Place to manage Shifts in Progress ====
If enabled there is a new view on the desktop for managing all your shift progress in one place. This is when you add Temps to a Shift Short List or they add themselves via the portal. \\
Notifications and document packs can be sent from this view as well as booking candidates into shifts or sending rejections.\\ \\
{{::shift_progress.png?400|}}\\ \\
This feature requires system administrator set up.\\ \\
==== Postcode Distance on Person and Contact Selectors ====
A new Postcode field that works in conjunction with the Map button has been added to both the Person and Contact Selectors to enable users to see at a glance the distance between the records in the selector and a specified postcode.
\\ \\
This will allow users to do a search for a specific skill or a specific/partial postcode and then enter a postcode in the new field. When clicking on the map button the postcode entered in the field will be shown by the current location symbol on the map, and the records retrieved from your search will be shown and you can click on the lines to see the distance they are from that postcode.\\ \\
In the below example I have done a search for people within a specified department where their postcode contains ‘EH’. I have then entered the other postcode TD1 1BY into the new field and pressed on the Map button.\\ \\

===== ENHANCEMENTS =====
\\
==== Notifications Enhancements ====
When sending send CVs from the shortlist to a client via a notification a contact event is now logged against the vacancy and the candidate record, previously it would just be logged against the vacancy. \\ \\
New Notification Custom Field function has been created to bring back more detailed rates from the vacancy, rather than just the headline rate this function can be used to bring back rates that match particular grades. \\ \\
Client shift confirmations now have the option for sending one notification to the client with all temps listed or one email per temp. If reports are being attached to the notifications then please contact IQX support to have these amended so they work as expected with both methods. \\ \\

Changes made to Payband fields are now captured in the Audit Trail. \\ \\
