New and Updated Features

Schedule Xpress

Shift Drop & Replace

NEW: Employees can now use Team Xpress to drop a shift, indicating they do not want to work the shift. The shift can remain assigned to the employee, or the employee can be removed from the shift immediately. The dropped shift can be automatically published for self-scheduling or shift bidding, or a new employee can be assigned manually by the scheduler. Optionally, a time off record can be created to prevent the employee from picking up another shift for the same time frame as the dropped shift. Notifications are issued to the scheduler when shifts are dropped.

Shift Bidding Auto-Assign

NEW: After a bidding deadline has passed, Schedule Xpress can automatically assign shifts to the bidders, according to a method that you specify.

The scheduler is notified of the bid results, in the Schedule Xpress notification area. The text of the message is configurable.

Integration with Guard Center

NEW: Schedule Xpress can now work with the guard tour product from Guard Center. Contact Celayix or Guard Center for more information.

Single Sign-on

NEW: Schedule Xpress users can now take advantage of Single Sign-on (SSO) services used at their organization. It has been implemented on ADFS and OneLogin. Contact Celayix for more information. The login page has been redesigned for this purpose.

Performance upgrades

UPDATED: The speed of Schedule Xpress has been improved. Scrolling large pages (tall and wide) with many shifts is faster.

eTime Xpress

Staff Assignment report

NEW: A new scheduling report is available. It is a streamlined version of the Schedules by Employee report.

QuickBooks payroll export

NEW: Payroll export is now more compatible with the Zed Axis tool for QuickBooks Online. Contact Celayix for more information.

Keep me logged in

NEW: eTime can be configured so that it automatically logs you in to eTime based on your Citrix account. This is useful when a Citrix ID is dedicated to a specific user.

Team Xpress

Dropping a shift

NEW: Team Xpress users can drop a shift, which is a way of indicating that they do not want to work a shift. If enabled, the shift will have a Drop Shift option. Depending on the configuration, the shift may remain assigned to the employee, or the employee may be removed from the shift immediately.

Formerly, dropping a shift was known as Cannot Work.

Bulk confirm

NEW: Team Xpress users can confirm all their unconfirmed shifts at the push of a button.

Single Sign-on

NEW: Team Xpress users can now take advantage of Single Sign-on (SSO) services used at their organization. It has been implemented on ADFS and OneLogin. Note that this is for the desktop version of Team Xpress only. The login page has been redesigned for this purpose.
