Additional Improvements
Quickbook Integration
Now includes additional logging to help us diagnose customer issues, specifically for, total items, adding and updating an item, and error tracking. Other minor improvements to the stability of the integration and the data being handled by the integration have also been made.
Permissions for Leave on a Timesheet
Now includes new permission to the Security Matrix: "Enter and Edit Leave on a Timesheet". By default, this is set to all users, but settings can be changed for Enterprise customers.
