New Options for Administrative Notifications

August 13, 2018, 3:54 pm
$

0
Aladtec has enhanced notifications, giving administrators greater flexibility in which notifications they receive for other members' requests. With this added flexibility, administrators can better focus on the administrative notifications they really need.

For example:
  • Shift commanders can limit notifications to requests from members on a specific shift, e.g. Shift A.
  • Time Off administrators can receive notifications for just time off.
  • Managers can monitor notifications for groups, like trainees, regardless of which schedule the request may effect.


An administrator must have schedule authority to be notified of other members' requests. Administrative notifications are set up via the My Info page.

Administrative notifications will be sent for specific requests based on groups of members, i.e. Access Levels or Work Groups. Keep in mind, this does not necessarily mean an administrator will receive all requests generated by a particular group, because the administrator must also have Schedule Authority over the request.

Administrators can choose to receive administrative notifications for Sign-Ups, Time Off, and Trade requests as an email, text, or as both email and text.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.



In the example below, the administrator has chosen to receive administrative notifications for Sign-Ups and Trades based on two Access Levels, but only receive administrative notifications for Time Off based on one Access Level. This allows the administrator to receive the proper administrative notifications needed to manage the schedule and to receive only the Time Off administrative notifications they need.

Enforce Strong Passwords

Password security can be improved by enforcing strong passwords for all members in the Aladtec system. When strong passwords are enforced, the Aladtec system requires each member to create a password using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, making it more difficult for a security breach to occur.

To enforce the use of strong passwords in the Aladtec system, select the service name in the upper left of the Aladtec system, then choose Setup. Within Setup, select Security and update the Enforce strong passwords setting, as shown below. When a password is updated, the member will be required to use a strong password.

Aladtec has a new feature, Extra Hours, streamlining the workflow for tracking unplanned hours. Unplanned hours may happen in situations such as: holdovers, shift variances, shift adjustments, unscheduled overtime, and missed sign ups. Members request Extra Hours, which are approved by administrators, and viewed on schedule views and reports.

To enable Extra Hours, in Setup, modify Access Levels and Work Groups. Access Levels control who is allowed to view Extra Hours in Schedule Views. Work Groups control who is allowed to submit Extra Hours requests. In Work Groups, shown below, administrative approval of Extra Hours requests is optional and Extra Hours are automatically included in Work Limits.

Members can submit Extra Hours requests from My Schedule. Extra Hours can only be submitted for time in the past which is within the system’s Historical Edit Limits (adjustable in Setup - General). A member cannot request Extra Hours overlapping their Scheduled Time or Time Off. Below is an example of an Extra Hours request submitted via mobile.

Pending Extra Hours requests can be processed, depending on Access Levels, via the Dashboard, Schedule Views, My Schedule, Hourly Editor, and Change Requests.

Publish Per Schedule

We recently made a change to our Schedule Publishing feature in Aladtec’s online employee scheduling and workforce management system. A powerful modification has been added to the publishing feature allowing each Schedule to be published individually.

With this modification, administrators will now be able to “hide” individual schedules. This will allow administrators to work on future schedules without the members being able to see any changes before they are ready to be published. This modification also allows those systems with multiple departments to set their own publishing rules, instead of adhering to one.

In the following example, in Schedules under Setup, only the Rocky Road Station schedule will publish the next month’s schedule automatically on the 20th of the Current Month at 12:00 a.m.. Other options for publishing schedules include: Manual and Custom.

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

Throughout the system, you’ll easily be able to see which schedules are unpublished.

On the Hourly Editor, each unpublished schedule will have an ‘unpublished’ indicator displayed next to the date of the unpublished schedule.

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

On all of the Work Schedule Views, the same ‘unpublished’ indicator is used to indicate unpublished schedules. You’ll typically see this notation near the schedule name, or date. Some pages also have an additional indicator that there are unpublished schedules at the top or bottom of the page.

Aladtec engineers have simplified the process for members who've forgotten a password.

Previously, the user would have to enter all e-mail addresses he or she registered in the system. Now they need only enter one, and the reset message will be sent to that address.

Loyalty shown by Aladtec customers and a willingness by many to share word-of-mouth referrals to neighboring agencies helped Aladtec earn a fifth year on Inc. magazine's "5000" list -- a ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.

Inc. magazine released its 38th annual Inc. 5000 list in mid-August. Aladtec, Inc. moved 169 spots, shifting from No. 3099 last year to No. 3268 this year.

Aladtec recorded 128 percent growth over the last three years.

"It’s an honor to achieve the Inc 5000 list for the fifth year in a row,” said Aladtec’s founder and president David Feyereisen. “We try to provide public safety and healthcare organizations with a world-class workforce management solution at a price any department can afford. Our staff is dedicated to that goal. We owe our continued growth to their hard work and the strong word-of-mouth endorsements of our amazing customers.”
