Feature List
The following new features and functionality changes are included with this release.
Daily Maximum Paid Hours for Breaks
The option has been added to allow employees a maximum total number of paid break
time per day, without defining the number of breaks allowed. For example, 30 minutes of
paid break time can be allowed by the system. The break time can be taken as two 15
minute breaks, or three 10 minute breaks throughout the day. Any amount of break time
taken beyond the allowed 30 minutes is unpaid.
Click on the main “Admin” tab, and then on the “Break Policies” link located under the
Policies heading. Add a new policy, or click on an existing policy to edit it. See “Figure
TFII 3.11.5 Release Notes- 1.”
Figure TFII 3.11.5 Release Notes- 1: Daily Maximum Break Time
With the Amount Applies To field set to “Day,” the Amount specified is the total
number of paid break time that the employee is allowed to take in a day. Note that the
Restrict option can be used in conjunction with this setting, making it so that any break
time taken beyond the specified amount is unpaid.

My Screen Widget Behavior
The behavior of the widgets on the “My Screen” home page have been optimized to
maximize system performance.





Upon opening the screen, all widgets will be displayed, but with no data.
A new [RUN] icon appears in the heading of each widget on the page. Clicking
on this icon initiates each widget to pull information.
Only one widget will be active at a time. When information is run for a new
widget, the previously viewed widget will remain static.
A [REFRESH] icon appears at the bottom of each static widget, allowing for easy
refreshing of information upon returning to the widget.
If you navigate away from the “My Screen” page and come back, widgets will
need to be re-initiated.
For users who use “My Screen” as their login home page, these changes will greatly
improve system performance, as data for all widgets is not being pulled at the same time.
Dev Item # 30886
Remove Inactive Card Numbers
The option has been added to remove an employee’s card number when their employee
profile is set to a status of “inactive.” This can be helpful for customers who re-use cards
in the system.
Click on the main “Admin” navigation tab, and then on the “Settings” link located under
the System Tools heading. Browse to the Employee section of the screen. See “Figure
TFII 3.11.5 Release Notes- 2.”
Figure TFII 3.11.5 Release Notes- 2: Remove Inactive Card Numbers
Put a check-mark in the “Remove card numbers when inactivating employees” option,
and click on the [SAVE] icon to save the changes that you have made.
With this option enabled, any employee inactivation will also remove the card number
assigned to them. If the employee is ever re-activated in the system, a new card number
must be assigned.

“No Pay Level” Time Card Error
A new error has been added to the system for when hours that are assigned to a pay level
appear on the Time Card for an employee who is not assigned to the corresponding pay
level in the system.
The error appears as “No Pay Level,” and has a default abbreviation of “NP.”
Dev Item # 30879
New Reporting Foundation
A new reporting framework has been designed to replace the SSRS reporting
infrastructure. The process of generating reports remains unchanged, utilizing the “Report
Queue” for accessing report content.
Dev Item # 30927
Report Email Option
The option has been added to email reports to all users who have the necessary access
permissions to view the employee in TimeForce II. This is opposed to previous
functionality of only allowing the employee’s direct supervisor to receive emailed
reports.
This feature is a system option that must be enabled. Click on the main “Admin”
navigation tab, and then on the “Settings” link located under the System Tools heading.
Browse to the Employee section of the screen. See “Figure TFII 3.11.5 Release
Notes- 3.”
