The Tanda Platform

Quick Search Navigation

You can now find any page quickly in Tanda using the new search bar, accessible by clicking the search icon in the top right of the navigation bar or pressing CMD + K (Mac) or CTRL + K (Windows).
image
You can type the name of any page to navigate to it directly
, which is useful for finding settings and pages that are buried a few levels deep. You can also search for employees by name or ID and jump straight to a specific section of their profile. For example, typing “John Doe Payroll” takes you directly to that employee’s payroll tab.

Quick Search also supports actions:
  • Impersonate [employee name]: impersonate a user
  • Stop impersonating: end an impersonation session
  • Hire [employee name]: go directly to the onboard candidate page
  • Chat with [employee name]: opens your chat with them
You can also search across an employee’s contracts, documents, warnings, performance reviews, HR forms, and training.
You can now set up an
approval workflow for pay runs
, allowing payroll officers to send a pay run for sign-off before posting.
image
Approvers are notified by email and in-app notification, and can review pay run totals and reports on a dedicated approval page before approving or requesting changes.

You can learn more about setting up and using pay run approvals in this help guide.
Note that this is currently only available in Australia, but is planned to be released in NZ soon.
You can now pin your frequently used
Actions
menu items to the roster side panel for quicker access.
Hover over any item in the Actions menu and click the pin icon to pin or unpin it. Pinned items appear in the sidebar and work exactly the same as selecting them from the menu.
image
Pins are saved per browser, so they won't carry over to another device, and anyone sharing the same browser profile will see the same pins.

Tanda-managed Parental Consent Templates

We've released
Tanda-managed parental consent templates for each Australian state & territory
to be used in onboarding and Tanda Hire. Each template is configured with the age threshold and wording based on the relevant state legislation. You will only see templates for the states your locations operate in.
image
The content of each template is managed by Tanda and cannot be edited.
Notes:
  • QLD uses the official government PDF form, which the parent or guardian fills in and signs in the browser
  • VIC templates include the employee's proposed hours of work, pulled from their employment conditions. Regular hours or contracted weekly hours record must be set up before the VIC consent request can be sent
  • QLD and VIC templates
    are always marked as required
    , as consent is mandated in those states
  • The managed templates are only available to users on the Tanda HR plan.
Find these templates under
Workforce

When an under-18 employee edits their school details in the mobile app, the change is
now sent to a manager for approval before taking effect
.
Managers receive an email and in-app notification when a change is pending. These can be actioned under
Workforce
>
Self Service Dashboard
>
School Detail Approvals
, where the current details and the requested changes are shown side by side.

Approving a change applies it immediately.
Note: This is gradually rolling out to all accounts, so you may not see this change yet.
You can now create
custom widgets
for your dashboard.
Type a plain-language prompt like "show me overtime costs by location this month" or "headcount broken down by team" and get a live widget back. The AI picks the right data source and chart type, and gives you a preview before you add anything. You can also swap between chart layouts after it's generated.
image
This is available on the
new dashboard only
. Find it by clicking
Customise
, then opening the dropdown next to
+ Add Widget
and selecting
Build a Widget with AI
.
image
Note: Widgets are built from your existing Tanda reports, so if the data isn't available in a report your account has access to, it won't be possible to generate a widget for it.
The settings page previously found on the profile page has moved to a dedicated page, accessible via the cog icon on the home screen.
image
Shift reminders, notification preferences, user guide, and give feedback have also moved from the profile page to the Settings page.
image
Note: The profile switcher was temporarily moved to Settings but can now be found back on the profile page.
