Password resets are now sent by email (mostly), along with new user creation. You can now see how many students are present at your event, and QR codes can be generated for logins screens. We have also changed to using Moment.js to handle dates, as the old method was causing troube with timezones.

Pay grades can now be created or amended. They specifically cannot be deleted as that could cause chaos

Digital Sign In now works! Students can sign in to their shifts, sign out, and then create a timesheet for any shift worked. A break of 30 minutes or more is considered a break, less than 30 minutes is a shift continuation.

In order to better meet the requirements of the GDPR, we now have access logs!!

Migrated to PHP 7.2, and switched password hash algorithm too. All users will have to reset their passwords.

We can now create and delete users without having to use SQL. Well done us! Users can also change their own passwords,but still need to see an admin if they have forgotten it!

User sessions now time out after 30 minutes of inactivity, password resets are handled in a more secure manner and all user updates are handled by Admin users.

Now you can amend details of users and reset their passwords! Yay!

Get in contact with the System Admins to get your account today! If you don't know who the system admin is, you probably shouldn't have access!
