Tip

General§

From now on, you can select in system preferences which time format is used by your installation: 24-hour time (‘20:30’) or 12-hour time (‘8:30 PM’).
We have reviewed the way in which times are entered: read more about how you can enter times quickly and easily in Yesplan.
You can now select default reports directly in Yesplan. Manual uploads are no longer necessary. See Adding Report Templates for more information.
In the dataviews summary page you can now search for a dataview by entering its Yesplan ID as a query.
In recent months, we have performed an upgrade on the infrastructure used by Yesplan.

The drop-down menu for the parameter “Teams” in report templates is now sorted alphabetically.
In “System Settings” > “Events” > “Date Decorations”, you were unable to download an iCalendar file that had been uploaded to Yesplan.
In “Reports” > “Read-Only Calendar”, there was no space between the name of the location and the border of the cell. Moreover, the name of an availability was hard to read.
Yesplan crashed if a user wasn’t an administrator and accessed a log file in “System Settings” > “Audit” > “Updates” via its URL. From now on, a message appears stating that these users don’t have permission to access the log file in question.
Dataviews with many results could fail to load, with a “Busy loading…” message that didn’t disappear. From now on, an error message appears instead.
Your installation could run slowly when you copy-pasted events with many bookings of the same resource.

🐞 Bugfix: a user group administrator wasn’t able to access the list of suspended users in the system settings.
🐞 Bugfix: when adding a user, a user group administrator couldn’t assign the new user to a user group.
🔧 Clicking the “Helpdesk” menu item now opens an intermediate page that automatically redirects the browser to Zendesk.

❇️ New: you can now invite users to Yesplan in “System Settings” > “Users” > “Users”:

- There are separate steps to add a user, assign permissions, and invite the user.
- When you invite a user, they will receive an email to choose a password.
- You can filter the user table on the sign-in status: “Not invited yet” or “Never signed in”.
- You can invite all uninvited users in one go by clicking “Send Invitations…” above the user table.
- See Adding Users for more information.
✨ Improvement: the list in “System Settings” > “Files” > “Files with External Access” is now paginated.

✨ Improvement: Yesplan now has separate log entries for signing in to Yesplan on the one hand, and signing in to the Yesplan App on the other hand. Click “Show All” for a user in the table in “System Settings” > “Audit” > “Users” to see the log.
🐞 Bugfix: in some cases, the dates in the event calendar didn’t appear in chronological order.
🐞 Bugfix (30.7 regression): retrieving a dataview via the API failed because of an error in the export of references.

✨ Improvement: in exports from the Dataviews API, some instances of anObject have been replaced by JSON objects that include the reference to the REST API.
🐞 Bugfix: in dataviews for events, Yesplan crashed if you entered a value in a parameter and then clicked the sorting icon for a column.

🐞 Bugfix (30.5 regression): the Excel Add-in crashed if you inserted a table with parameter values, closed the Excel Add-in, and then opened it again.
🐞 Bugfix (30.0 regression): it was no longer possible to enter a negative overtime for the field “Reset Overtime Counter” of contracts in the Teamplanner.

🐞 Bugfix: if you had zoomed in or zoomed out in your browser window, then it was possible that the event calendar stopped loading new dates when you scrolled down.
🐞 Bugfix: if you didn’t enter a search query in the tasks finder, then you had access to tasks that you didn’t have the “View” permission for.

🐞 Bugfix: you weren’t able to edit the time in the contract rule “MAX 36 night shifts per 16 weeks ending after 02:00” in “System Settings” > “Teamplanner” > “Contracts” if the night shift started before midnight.

🐞 Bugfix: when you filled out a field for a duration in dataviews, then the value was converted to a time if your installation was set to “12-hour time”.
🐞 Bugfix (30.0 regression): in a human resource’s contract, you couldn’t fill out the fields “Reset Overtime Counter” and “Reset Holiday Counter” because the fields expected a time instead of a duration.
