On a guest list, Archive and Restore have moved from the page header into a Danger zone at the foot of the Defaults tab, with a note on what archiving closes, behind a confirmation; Help is updated in four languages. The Danger zone on a user's page now has the same card look as the other pages. What each button does, and who may use it, is unchanged.
The duration column on the Lists tab and in the crew list PDF now reads in hours and minutes, such as 7h 30m, the same form as the summary at the end of the list. The CSV export keeps the hours:minutes form for spreadsheets.
Clocking a person in or out from Clockwork asked the browser for a fresh position first and could wait up to three seconds before the form was sent. The page now remembers the position it looked up in the background, also across the reload after each clock action, uses one up to five minutes old straight away, and otherwise waits at most 0.8 seconds before sending without a position. The position is still recorded whenever one is available.
Settings ➜ Modules has a new SMS switch for the whole account. While it is off, no SMS is sent or charged: Messaging offers email only, Readiness notifications and broadcasts reach people by email only, and incident notifications send no SMS. SMS still waiting in the queue when you switch it off are cancelled and their credits refunded. Your credits, sender name, invoicing and every SMS choice you made in Messaging, Readiness and Incidents are kept and come back when you switch SMS on again. The switch asks before changing either way and says that SMS is charged separately from SMS credits. SMS delivery appears in the Settings menu only while SMS is on, and that is where SMS is configured; on Billing, the SMS lines card stays while the account has lines. Accounts that already used or set up SMS have it switched on. The Incidents Help now describes notification recipients as people, other email addresses and other phone numbers, and that SMS needs the SMS module.
An email to an address that is blocked after an earlier hard bounce or spam complaint was retried for about twelve minutes, with the message showing Sending, before it failed with a technical reason. It now fails straight away with a clear reason, and the message settles immediately.
The list of SMS purchases and invoice lines has moved from Settings ➜ SMS delivery to Settings ➜ Billing. SMS delivery keeps buying credits, automatic top-up, invoicing requests and the monthly cap beside the balance, and links to Billing where the list used to be. Who can see it is unchanged.
The shift card on the board and the shift window now show the shift's length beside its time, for example 11:00➜21:00 (10h). A night when the clocks change counts the hours actually worked. In a narrow week column the length moves under the time.
The Lists tab and the crew list PDF, including the emailed crew list and the location digests, now end with a summary: the number of shifts, vacant places included, and their hours, for each role and in total. A list with a single role shows the total alone. The page and the PDF read the same figures. Help is updated in four languages.
My tasks on the Ops dashboard now counts the open and in-progress incidents you own, with a link to the Incidents list showing just those. It appears when the Incidents module is on and you can see incidents. Help explains it in four languages.
The incident notification card under Settings ➜ Modules ➜ Incidents now lets you pick people, who are notified at their profile email, alongside standalone email addresses as before, and standalone phone numbers, which must include a country code. Tick Also send an SMS to text the picked people's phones and the extra numbers; the card states that SMS uses SMS credits. Each number gets one SMS per incident, and an SMS that cannot be sent never stops the emails. Existing email recipients are kept.
The selection toolbar on the Production Plan can now set one status on every selected row. Each row is changed the same way as when you change it on its own, so a change that is not allowed from a row's current status, or that you may not make, leaves that row as it was and is counted in the message. Ongoing is not offered, since it starts through Start task.
A clock-in is linked to a shift starting within two hours, as before. When there is none, it is now linked to a shift the person is assigned to that has already started and not yet ended, so somebody clocking in three hours into an 11:00➜16:00 shift is no longer left without a shift. An earlier arrival for the next shift still gets that shift, and a manager who picks the shift by hand decides as before.
Each published shift now appears in the Production Plan as two rows: Shift start at the shift's start and Shift end at its end, titled for example Bar 13:30➜20:30 · Shift start, each with attendance counts beneath. Both follow attendance on their own: the start row is done when everyone assigned has clocked in or been marked as a no-show, and the end row when everyone who clocked in has clocked out. A status a person set is never overwritten. A milestone counts as overdue 30 minutes after its time, and one more than 7 days old is no longer carried into today's plan. When a person closes the start row and nobody has clocked in for the shift, the end row follows. Only the start row counts towards capacity, and the checklist offers no Start on a milestone row. Existing shifts were given their end row.
Vehicle desk chips, place chips, scan banners, type status pills and the duplicate warning stay legible in Dark. On phones, the Departments morning briefing matrix no longer runs to the card edge, and the More menu on incidents and SJAs opens to the right so it stays on screen. The overdue tint on the Ops dashboard cards runs edge to edge. On the Production Plan, a popover that shifts left to fit now lines up with a column border instead of cutting the first letter of the column next to it.
The Danger zone on the contract page, the item and kit pages, the location page, the supplier page, the supplier contact dialogs, the group page and the project page, and in the accreditation type, vehicle type and competence type dialogs and the shift window and shift edit dialog, now has the same card look as everywhere else; what each button does is unchanged. The contract template Edit dialog and the item category dialog replace their Status and Active fields with a Danger zone offering Archive (confirmed) or Restore, and an ordinary save keeps the stored state.
A new A4 poster for the bar and the door shows, for each age limit (18 and 20 by default, up to three, each with an optional label), the latest birth date that is old enough: for one day with the dates printed large, or for up to 31 days with one row per day, in the poster's language. A limit that falls on 29 February counts from 28 February in other years, so nobody a day too young is admitted. Print materials has moved out of Settings into the Shared block of the sidebar for administrators; the old Settings address still leads there.
Editing a shift's start or end used to unlink every session from it, approved and open ones included. Now each linked session is reviewed: approved sessions and links made by hand are kept, and an automatically made link is kept while the session still overlaps the new times (counting from two hours before the new start). Only links that no longer fit are removed, each one recorded, and the shift's status is recalculated afterwards. Changing only the capacity reviews nothing.
While any message on the list is still queued or sending, its Status cell now refreshes by itself every few seconds and stops once every message has settled. You no longer need to reload the page to see a message finish.

The multi-select filter panels used on the Production Plan, Plan Live and the overview pages now open with every value ticked when nothing is filtered, matching the rows you see; untick a value to hide it. OK refuses a panel with nothing ticked. In the status panel, Completed and Cancelled show unticked while Hide completed or Hide cancelled is on. The panel shows one link at a time: Clear all while everything is in, Select all otherwise. Plan Live's Clear ticks every value again, and Help is updated.
Rows on Approve sessions now carry a delete button beside the edit button for managers with Clockwork Edit access. It opens the existing void dialog, worded for a closed session: the session is kept for the record and left out of payroll. Managers with Clock in/out access do not see the button.
The session window on a person's Sessions tab now offers Remove link on a session linked to a shift, for managers who can adjust sessions. After a confirmation the session is no longer linked to that shift, the shift's status is recalculated, and the change is recorded. An approved session must be unapproved first, and assignments are never changed. After removing a link you can link the right shift by hand, and the automatic linking will not link that session again on its own.
The Report incident dialog in the workspace now prefills the date and time from your account's clock instead of the server's, and so do the SJA-linked report and the public form's date. A report made in the workspace can now send the incident notice by email: Send incident notice by email is ticked by default when the account has notification recipients, and the email names you as the reporter. If you are on the notification list yourself, you are not sent your own notice, the dialog counts only the others, and the box is not offered when you are the only recipient. Help is updated in four languages.
Person now takes several people: each one you pick becomes a chip, the search stays open for the next, and someone already picked is not offered again (up to 50 people). The message list and the message dialog name every recipient. Switching between Email and SMS no longer clears anything: people, groups, departments, filters, subject and text are kept. A person the chosen channel cannot reach is marked on their chip (no mobile number, or no email address) instead of being dropped, and an SMS to picked people shows its credit line. On SMS the Message field label is hidden, since the section title already says it.

This project or Whole account on the level form, Person, Group or Department when adding a notification recipient, and Send to and Recipients on Broadcast now use the same compact segmented control as New message, sharing the row on phones. The fields and what they do are unchanged.
A member who may only view readiness now sees the readiness indicator in the header and its popover, and nothing more: the popover offers no link into the module, and every Readiness page (status, Notifications, Broadcast, History) requires permission to change readiness for a project or for the account. Help and the View level description say so.
