New Features: Time Off and User Export

One of the areas of Tribe where we’ve received the most feedback (read: suggestions for improvement) has to do with tracking Time Off. Today we released 2 significant updates: a new time tracking system and a new user export system.

Tracking Time Off
Although all logic and accounting are live, we are looking for feedback on the navigation and layout. Here is a summary of some of the new elements:

• Add any number of types of “Time Off” e.g. Vacation, Sick, Personal, Professional Development, etc.
• Assign users an annual allocation of time (and roll-over amount) for each type of  Time Off
• Define whether or not booked time off shows on the calendar, on a per-type basis
• Monitor the ongoing accrual of time off, as compared to the annual allocation
• Generate per-employee or company-wide reports
• Edit a full ledger of transaction-based accounting of time off

Of course, like before, users can still request time off and managers still retain approval rights.

User Export
As an Administrator, you know have 2 new User Export options:

• Export a quick CSV file from the People page (simply click “Export Users” to download a CSV file)
• Export a custom CSV file from the Repors page (select which fields you would like to include in your custom report)
