What's new

Scheduler — staff faster with availability at a glance

Plan crews and plant without discovering clashes after the roster is already out. Availability signals and board controls help dispatchers and ops leads allocate with confidence.

What it does:

• Instant availability badges when adding or pairing resources — see conflicts before you commit
• Busy/Available at a glance with overlap-aware availability — timeline stays visible while you plan
• Group/sort the Orders board — organise work the way your yard and sites run
• Color-coded worker/asset tags + tag filters — find the right people and plant in seconds
• Bulk edit start/end times — adjust multiple allocations without one-by-one edits
• Smarter multi-day allocations — plan across days with less rework
• Smoother resource detail modal and preserved scroll on day switch — stay in flow as you move through the week
• Clearer default labels and a cleaner availability badge — less noise on the board

Where you'll find it: Scheduler and the Orders board when adding, pairing, or editing resources and allocations.

Who benefits: Ops leads building weekly rosters, dispatchers pairing workers and assets, and foremen who need conflict-free crews before site start.

Job Costing — quote link, Bid inheritance, and cleaner timesheet costs

Close the loop from quote to job cost without leaving the costing page — and keep imported timesheet costs free of empty activity noise.

What it does:

• Jump to the original quote from the Job Costing page — faster reviews and audits
• Contract value inherits Bid status — commercial numbers stay aligned with the winning bid
• On-demand per-order import of pre-approved timesheets — pull approved time into costs when you need it
• Ignores activity-less timesheets — keeps cost totals clean
• Override sourced transactions when needed — correct exceptions without breaking the trail
• Stronger cost code integrity across SoR — fewer mismatched codes in job cost reports

Where you'll find it: Job Costing (quote link and contract value), timesheet import on the order, and Schedule of Rates cost code flows.

Who benefits: Project managers reviewing job costs, commercial teams auditing quote-to-cost alignment, and finance leads reconciling timesheet spend against orders.

Dashboards & Reporting — Chart Builder Stage 2 and Top-N rankings

Build the views your site and office need — rankings, maps, and custom dashboards — without exporting to a spreadsheet first.

What it does:

• Chart Builder (Stage 2) — more flexible chart building in-product
• Curated widgets & custom dashboards (beta) — assemble the metrics that matter to your team
• “Top-N” list widget — quick rankings (e.g. top projects, sites, or cost drivers)
• Better map visuals and automatic chart mapping for location data — see where work and cost land geographically

Where you'll find it: Dashboards and Reporting — Chart Builder, widgets, and custom dashboards (beta).

Who benefits: Project managers tracking site performance, finance leads ranking cost drivers, and ops leads reviewing location-based workload.

Payroll — cleaner RDO accruals and loading lines

Award and leave rules land more accurately so payroll admins spend less time fixing exceptions before export.

What it does:

• RDO enhancements — cleaner accruals and fewer manual corrections
• Loading lines for Day, Public Holiday, and Leave rules — improve accuracy and compliance against awards and EBAs

Where you'll find it: Payroll when reviewing calculated pay, RDO accruals, and Day / Public Holiday / Leave loading rules.

Who benefits: Payroll admins running award-heavy crews, HR/compliance leads checking public holiday and leave loadings, and finance teams exporting cleaner pay runs.

Data isolation, Ops Mode & reliability

Stronger tenant separation and platform polish keep multi-account data safer and everyday inputs more dependable.

What it does:

• Per-tenant Ops Mode authentication — tighter data separation between Pay Insights accounts
• Role-level security — performance and accuracy improvements
• Ops Mode reporting boosted with the Assignar Operations datasource
• Safer staged releases — gated promotion path for more predictable rollouts
• Reliable numeric inputs across Orders, Quotes/SoR, and Pay Rates
• Supplier invoice “Create another” fix — create follow-on invoices without dead ends
• Admin CONFIRM dialogs and cost code edit focus fixes
• Pay rate services refactored for faster, more reliable updates

Where you'll find it: Across Ops Mode, Orders, Quotes/SoR, Pay Rates, supplier invoices, and admin confirmation flows — no extra setup for the quality fixes listed here.

Who benefits: Every team using Assignar Pay during busy planning, costing, and payroll weeks; Ops Mode users reviewing Operations-sourced reports; admins entering rates and cost codes.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Fewer roster clashes before the gate: Availability badges, Busy/Available signals, and tag filters help dispatchers and foremen staff crews without Monday-morning double-bookings.
• Job costs that survive an audit: Quote links, Bid-inherited contract value, and clean timesheet imports mean project managers and finance can defend spend from quote → order → timesheet without spreadsheet archaeology.
• Insights without the export detour: Chart Builder Stage 2, Top-N widgets, and map visuals give PMs and commercial leads rankings and location views inside Assignar Pay.
• Payroll that follows the award: Cleaner RDO accruals and loading lines for Day, Public Holiday, and Leave rules reduce exceptions when EBAs and awards differ by day type.
• Trustworthy numbers day to day: Reliable numeric inputs on Orders, Quotes/SoR, and Pay Rates — plus supplier invoice and cost code fixes — cut re-entry and focus loss during busy commercial cycles.

Getting started

• Scheduler availability: Open Scheduler, add or pair a resource, and confirm availability badges and Busy/Available status appear before you save.
• Orders board planning: On the Orders board, try group/sort, tag filters, and color-coded worker/asset tags; use bulk edit for start/end times on multiple allocations.
• Multi-day allocations: Create or edit a multi-day allocation and confirm scroll position is preserved when switching days.
• Job Costing → quote: Open Job Costing for an order linked to a quote and use the source quote link; confirm contract value reflects Bid status where applicable.
• Timesheet cost import: From the order, run on-demand import of pre-approved timesheets and confirm activity-less timesheets are skipped.
• Sourced transaction overrides: When a sourced transaction needs a correction, use the override path and confirm cost code integrity on SoR-linked lines.
• Dashboards (beta): Open Dashboards / Reporting, try Chart Builder (Stage 2), curated widgets, a Top-N list, and map visuals for location fields.
• Payroll RDO & loadings: In Payroll, review RDO accruals and Day / Public Holiday / Leave loading lines on affected timesheets.
• Numeric inputs & invoices: Enter rates on Orders, Quotes/SoR, and Pay Rates; on supplier invoices, use Create another after saving; confirm cost code edit focus behaves as expected.
