Core Product Updates: 02/03/2026

Auto-Approve PTO for Employees Without a Manager

We’ve added a new PTO automation setting for employees who don’t have a manager assigned.

• PTO requests can now be automatically approved when no approver is required

• Configurable directly within the employee’s settings

Why it matters: Keeps time-off workflows moving smoothly for flat organizations or executive-level employees.

Required Announcement Reminder Notifications

To improve compliance and visibility, the system can now send reminders for required announcements.

• Daily reminders are automatically sent to employees who haven’t acknowledged an announcement

Why it matters: Ensures important communications don’t get missed.

Desktop Notifications for Direct Messages

Messaging just became more immediate.

• Employees can now receive desktop notifications when new direct messages arrive

Why it matters: Faster response times and better internal communication.

KPI Cards Now Support Click-to-Filter

Dashboard KPI cards are now interactive.

• Clicking a KPI card automatically filters the related list view on that page

Why it matters: Makes it faster to jump from insights to action with fewer clicks.

Rich Announcements

Announcements are now more flexible, content-rich, and easier to view directly in context. PDFs and images can be previewed within the announcement body.

• Admins can attach multiple files to a single announcement

• Attachment Previews in Announcements

Why it matters: Better for policies, handbooks, PDFs, and supporting documents. Employees can consume content immediately without downloading files first.

More Natural Chat Experience

• Start a conversation simply by selecting people and messaging, similar to Teams or Slack

Why it matters: Removes friction and encourages faster communication.

Map View in the Employee Directory

The Employee Directory now includes an optional geographic map view.

• Displays employee locations based on ZIP code

Why it matters: Helpful for distributed teams, multi-location organizations, and field-based staff.

Stronger SSO Domain Security

Single Sign-On setup now includes improved validation and restrictions.

Dashboard Customization

Employees can now personalize their dashboard experience.

• Customize which widgets and information appear on the homepage

Why it matters: Gives each user a more relevant, role-specific portal experience.
