Here’s what we’ve been working on…
People Page Design Revamp in Mobile App
People page in the greytHR mobile app underwent a fantastic revamp, delivering a more engaging and user-friendly experience. Users can now find their colleagues and connect with them in a smoother and quicker way.
Power-packed Split Shift Management is here!
The new Split Shift functionality helps our attendance users divide working hours into two sessions with significant break hours between them. It offers flexibility in managing split shifts based on daily requirements. This feature is especially useful for industries with non-traditional working hours, such as hospitality and healthcare, to simplify work routines.
Attendance Info and Who Is in? Design Revamp
Attendance Info and Who Is In? pages are revamped with revitalized design, easy navigation, session-based attendance, personalized date summaries, ESS-standard icons, and refined multi-category filtering. Enjoy seamless communication with extended contact details. Experience enhanced user satisfaction, streamlined collaboration, and organized attendance insights.
Other Features
- We’ve introduced employee photo API to fetch an employee’s profile photo in the binary format in different sizes as per the business requirement. For example: Employee profile photos can be downloaded to create customized cards to wish employees on their important days.
- We’ve introduced “feature flagging" in the in-app rating feature in our mobile app using GrowthBook. It helps us gather user ratings and feedback from the app. If something goes wrong in the app, these flags quickly halt rating requests and avoid negative app store reviews instantly. Using the GrowthBook platform, switching the feature flag on or off becomes a rapid and straightforward process.
