Synergy release - 15 August 2022

August release 2022

Updated over a week ago

Our August release focuses on helping you organise your staff and get better insights on your business through our Power BI Dashboards (Preview) and Synergy HR (Paid addon) updates. We've worked hard to resolve minor issues in key areas of the product including timesheets and Resource planning. Read all about the changes below.

NEW

Power BI Dashboards

We've created an array of Power BI dashboards for you to choose from and utilise for smarter, easier and better reporting on your business and staff.

  • Business - Revenue and Invoicing information

  • Finance - Examination of money owed

  • Sales - Analysis of proposals and performance of sales

  • People - Examination of Utilisation

  • Projects - $ Performance of People

To learn more about Power BI follow the link: Synergy Analytics or speak with your CSM.

NOTE: This preview has been turned on for Enterprise users. Preview allows these companies to explore and provide feedback to us on the Dashboards. Moving forward we will explore expanding the preview to our Business customers. As Total Synergy has a large customer base with very many different types and sizes of business, we are managing and restricting access to ensure we can observe the success of the solution and continue to work on optimising for the best results.

  • Fixed an issue where the filter from the List view also affected the Kanban view of CRM Projects.

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes approving a timesheet without a lock might remain unapproved.

  • Fixed an issue where clicking the notification to see a timesheet error would display an error message.

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes generating a custom report that contains a column for Staff or Project date might show an error that prevents the report from being exported.

  • Fixed an issue where unchecking “Read staff actual costs" within the security matrix didn’t disable access.
