Qualifications
Qualification Maximum Hours Validation Update
We’ve updated how
maximum hours validations
work for qualifications (most commonly used with student visas).What’s new
Maximum hours limits will now continue to apply
after the final effective date has ended
. Previously, the validation would not apply once the final effective period concluded. This means the maximum hours validation now applies to:
- When no effective dates are set
- During any active effective date range
- New:After the final effective date has concluded
The validation will still
not apply between effective date ranges
(for example, during semester breaks).This helps ensure employee qualifications remain up to date, especially at the end of a semester or year. If validation is being applied when it shouldn’t be, you may need to update the employee’s qualification or add the next set of effective dates.

Tevalis POS Integration: Split Sales by Item Type
You can now separate your sales data from Tevalis into your Item Types (e.g., Food, Beverage). A separate Data Stream will be created for each Item Type in each Location.
Configure this in your Tevalis integration under
Settings
> Integrations
> POS Integrations
: 
The number of transactions is now also brought across to Tanda.
When approving leave that overlaps part of a rostered shift, you can choose to keep, vacate, or delete the existing schedule.

Previously,
vacating
or deleting
would always apply to the entire shift, even if only part of it was covered by leave.Now,
only the leave portion of the shift is affected
. The remaining worked hours stay on the roster.For example, if a shift runs from 07:30–19:30 and leave is taken from 13:00-19:30, the shift will now split, keeping the worked portion (7:30-13:00) intact and only deleting or vacating the 13:00-19:30 period.
This also applies to leave taken in the middle of a shift, where the schedule will split around the leave period.
You can now access the new and improved dashboard, with full feature parity with the previous version, plus a range of performance and usability enhancements.
This update is being rolled out progressively.
What’s new?
- Resizable widgets for a more flexible layout
- Hidden widgets now persist between sessions
- Embedded reports load automatically on page load
- The ability to toggle labour costs on and off in Live Insights
- Improved overall performance
Custom reporting, built in
You can now create a custom report directly from the dashboard and add it instantly to your dashboard. Any reports you create will also appear under
Reports > Custom Reports
for easy access.
You can now request enhanced DBS checks through Trust ID for both new starters and existing employees, directly within Workforce.
What does this mean?
Once a check is requested, employees complete their details via a secure link, and admins can review and submit the application. Status updates are tracked in-product, keeping both employers and employees informed throughout the process.
This helps streamline compliance checks and reduces manual admin when onboarding or managing staff.

New Look: Roster Day View
We're currently rolling out a refreshed version of the
Day View
in the roster. Both Staff
and Stacked
views are now more consistent with each other, making it simpler to use both.When this update reaches your account, you shouldn't notice any big changes with how you roster staff, but you may notice some slight visual and functional updates, including:
- Breaks can now be dragged and droppedto different times in the shift as a whole, rather than adjusting the start/end times. Hover over the break from the top of the shift and drag and drop it to a new location:

- Viewing the daily schedule in Staff Viewnow shows thewhole shift cardthat you would see in the week or stacked view, flagging validation issues straight away, and bringing parity with how it is shown in other views.
