A new version of Team Xpress was released. It is available in Google Play Store and the iOS App Store, and well as on the web at team-xpress.celayix.com

If you have auto-updates enabled on your phone, then you will get the new release automatically. If you don't have automatic updating, or if you don't want to wait, go to your phone's store and download Celayix Team Xpress.

Shift Reminders

FEATURE. The shift reminder feature allows Team Xpress to put a reminder message on your phone's or computer's notification area, to let you know that you have an upcoming shift.

With this release you can set two reminders before an upcoming shift begins. Also you can now have a reminder at the end of the shift that you are currently checked in to.

If you have already checked into a shift then you will not get reminders to check in. If you have already checked out of a shift then you will not get the reminder to check out.

Previously the reminder system would work only on the mobile app. Now it works with a browser, too. Google Chrome and Firefox are supported. Clicking on the reminder will redirect to Team Xpress. Important: you must allow the app or browser to send notifications.

Setup

  1. In Team Xpress, go to My Account

    . 

  2. Then go to Preferences and then Shift Reminders.

  3. Enter your choices, and then press Save.





Reminder settings

For upcoming shifts you have choices such as '15 minutes before start', '30 minutes before start', '1 hour before start', 2 hours, 1 day, 2 days, etc.

For shift end you have choices such as 'At end of shift', '2 mins before end', '5 mins before end', etc as well as '5 mins after end' and '10 mins after end'.



Self Schedule display

FEATURE. When the list of available shifts is shown, now it shows only the days where there are shifts. Formerly it would show all dates, even those that had no shifts. This change makes it much easier to read the available choices. If there are no matching shifts it will simply say There Are No Results Found - the user will not have to scroll down a long list of dates only to find that there are no shifts.



Self Scheduling grouping and sorting

FEATURE. It is now possible to configure Self Scheduling so that shifts are grouped in a sequence other that by date. For example, you can put all the shifts for a specific customer or service together to make it easier to select them at the same time.

Here we see all the parts of a course grouped together regardless of the dates of the parts:



Date and Time selection

USABILITY. A number of issues related to entering dates and times have been resolved.

Sliders don't change

BUG. There was a bug where you could slide one of the actions such as Start Break, End Break or Check Out, but the slider would remain on the screen as if it had not been done. This is fixed.

Geofencing

BUG. Team Xpress requires that the mobile device identify its location accurately. There were instances where Team Xpress reported "could not retrieve your device accuracy" when this was not actually the case. This is corrected.

(Note that the term "accuracy" relates to the degree of reliability or trustworthiness of the location that the device is reporting, not the location itself, Of course there will still be legitimate cases where the device cannot determine its location due the environment. E.g. in a basement where GPS is not available.)

Self Scheduling

BUG. Previously the number of shifts that could be self scheduled at one time was limited to 5. This is no longer the case.
