Time&Space 12.10 - What’s New

Time&Space Portal enhancement 

Introducing a new Absence Planner view that makes it easier to plan, review, and submit leave requests with better visibility of team availability. The Absence Planner provides a clear calendar overview of planned absences for coworkers and other relevant colleagues (based on user account restrictions). Users can quickly see who is already absent on a selected day or period before submitting their own request. 

This helps organizations avoid overlapping leave requests, reduce holiday overbooking, and ensure that the right people remain available when minimum staffing or team presence is required. 

Key benefits: 

• Clear monthly overview of coworker absences
• Better coordination within teams and departments
• Reduced risk of too many employees being absent at the same time
• Faster and more informed absence-request submission

•

The Employee Day view now includes a dedicated Vacation section with detailed vacation balance in-formation for the selected employee and day. Users can see the available vacation balance, including current-year and last-year balances, as well as the expected end-of-year balance based on all approved vacation leaves.  

This helps employees, managers, and administrators review leave availability faster and make better decisions when planning or approving absences. 

Key benefits: 

• Clear vacation-balance overview directly on the Employee Day view
• Visibility of current-year and last-year vacation balances
• End-of-year vacation-balance
• Faster review of employee leave availability
• Better support for absence planning and approval decisions

Key benefits: 

• Clear overview of balances, violations, and categories
• Direct event entry from the Calendar Manage view
• Easier review and update of employee attendance data

Approval delegation management 

Administrators can now manage approval delegations for time and attendance managers from the User details view. This allows an administrator to delegate a manager's request management to another user when needed, for example during holidays, sick leave, or organizational changes.  

Until the delegation is dismissed, all pending and future assigned requests are also available to the delegated approver. 

Key benefits: 

• Administrators can manage approval delegations

Employee identification and search by reference ID 

User drop-down filters can now display the employee reference ID next to the employee name. Users can also search by reference ID when selecting an employee.  

This helps time managers confirm they are working with the correct person, especially in organizations where several employees may have the same or similar names.  

The reference ID is also shown in the Employee Quick View, providing consistent employee identification across views. 

Key benefits: 

• Search by reference ID in employee selectors
• Reduced risk of selecting the wrong employee
• Reference ID also available in Employee Quick View.

This allows time managers to place the most relevant calculation fields at the top of the list, making daily attendance review clearer and better aligned with their workflow. The configuration is browser-based and stored locally. 

Key benefits:

• Easier review of daily attendance results

• Search options in the Device view have been expanded to include searching by inputs and outputs.
• The existing Assa Abloy Visionline integration has been updated to support the latest version.
• Improved HTTPS communication security. Several additional security headers have been added, making communication with the server even more secure.

System enhancement

New option for approving unpaid time 

A new system intervention, Period Unpaid Time Approval – Cancel Day Limit, is now available in the Flexi Time module. When added for a selected period, the intervention changes the Unpaid Time category in that period to paid time. It also cancels the Limited day attendance setting when this option is enabled on the valid schedule for that day. This gives time managers more control when correcting or approving specific periods that should be recognized as paid time despite schedule-based day limits. 

Key benefits: 

• Selected period can be treated as paid time
• Cancels Limited day attendance when applicable
• Better support for period-based attendance corrections

Improved access point selection in Time&Space Manager 

The Select Point dialog in Time&Space Manager has been improved to make Access profile and Access group configuration faster, especially in larger installations. Managers can now filter points not only by Area, but also by name or ID. The dialog opens significantly faster, especially in systems with many access points or in environments with higher network latency.

Notification service now supports OAuth2 protocol for Office365 and Google 

The Notification Service now supports OAuth2 authentication for sending emails through Microsoft 365/Office 365 and Google SMTP servers. This enables more secure email communication and supports environments where basic authentication is disabled or no longer recommended. 

Key benefits:

• Auth2 support for Microsoft 365 / Office 365 and Google SMTP
• More secure email authentication
• Better compatibility with modern email-service requirements
