Integration: View your own web applications as agenda in GIRITON web app

You can add your own webapplications as agenda into the GIRITON web application. That way you can display any of your in-house web application or, for example, a shared Google Sheet in GIRITON as if it was a part of the GIRITON web application. See more in online help.

Integration: Load data from GIRITON into Google Sheets

Attendance GIRITON offers REST api that companies can use to integrate GIRITON into other systems.

Google Sheets can use REST api, making it easy to connect data from GIRITON to your Google Sheets. For example, everytime you open a Google Sheet, you can automatically retrieve a list of currently present users from GIRITON, list them in your spreadsheet, and continue working with that data using your own Excel formulas. For more information on linking GIRITON to Google Sheets, see the online help.

More convenient online help

We have added a button with a question mark “?” to the upper right part of the individual agendas in the web application. It opens the online help listed directly to particular chapter of the agenda you have currently opened.

When you for example open the Human Resources agenda and click the question mark at the top right, the online help chapter opens describing how to add new users to Human Resources. Moreover, we have added video tutorials to the most readed chapters which make the online help easier to work with.

You can now see user of Paired device

If you have a high amount of users using the My Attendance apps, it might be more complicated to know which Paired device belongs to which user in the Paired devices agenda.

A new column “Last logged user” has been added to this agenda in the bottom table. It shows which user is logged in to the app for the My Attendance device. That allows you to easily identify, what Paired Device are you looking at in he agenda.

You can now match users by email during import

Until now, it was necessary to match users by “User number” during import to Human Resources from Excel. The import did not add a new user but rather updated the existing user, if user in Excel had the same user number that already existed in Giriton. This ensures that even when repeating the same import, no duplicities will be created in Giriton. The consequence, however, is that the user numbers must not be changed in time.

However you may want to change the user numbers in some cases, for example when you want to “import new user numbers to existing users”. This is now possible because the importer of users offers the choice of the key which will be used for users pairing. You can choose User number or Email.

Projects are easily filtered by categories

Besides filtering by departments, we added also filtering by categories to the web application. You can now filter projects by categories as conveniently as on the My Attendance mobile app.

Homeoffice and Quarantine

Due to the current situation, when many employers are implementing Homeoffice operatively, we offer our quick help with configuring your account so that it offers Homeoffice activity, if it already did not offer it.

If you do not already have a Homeoffice added to your account, just send us the keyword "Homeoffice" to info@giriton.com. We will then immediately add the Homeoffice activity to your GIRITON. We will pre-configure it so that it will be displayed on both a mobile and a web application. 

Send us a “Quarantine” keyword and we will also add a new “Quarantine" activity to GIRITON, which we can preset so that it is added to the person for every other day until he / she comes back to work.

Of course you can do these changes by yourself in the system in User Menu - Attendance - Attendance activities, we just offer our help with that.

New planned task

We have added a new, already 28-th planned task, which allows you to set up regular sending of a selected report by email. You can automatically email users their own attendance for the past month, or managers can regularly receive attendance of their subordinates or just their problematic attendance records.

REST api to work with Shifts

With REST api you can newly read, add and edit the shifts. In addition, you can read and edit shift schedules as well as register user to shifts. Connection to other in-house systems is thus much easier. REST api documentation is here: https://rest.giriton.com/apidoc/

Data editing improvements

In Human Resources and Projects agenda, you can edit records in bulk for a long time, simply by selecting multiple records at once and making edits. However, it may happen that the user selected multiple records at once and did not realize that bulk edit was performed. So we added an indication that multiple records are being edited at once and also how many of these records are being edited.

Furthermore, when deleting records in Human Resources and in Projects, we added a 10-second countdown before performing the irreversible delete action. This should prevent accidental deletion of important data.

Improved switching between users in Attendance agenda

When some person is selected while viewing the attendance in Monthly view or Daily view mode and you switch to Person Detail mode, that selected person will be displayed. Switching between different data views is now more intuitive.

Easier work with Departments

We've improved the department-selection component, which now makes it easier to select a sub-departments if they do not have unique names. It also allows fulltext searching between departments, which will be appreciated especially by companies with a larger organizational structure.

News in reports

You can now also use the “Long-term attendance” print report to print data for a period of less than one month. Companies that work with weekly attendance can use this report to export time by individual weeks.

The new report "Attendance according to the shift plan" exports attendance as it would look if it was entered perfectly according to the shift schedule. In addition, the report allows you to adjust various print parameters.

Automatic insertion of breaks is smarter

The planned task for auto-insertion of breaks can be newly set so that it behaves differently on weekdays and differently on weekends or holidays. For example, on weekdays it can insert a break after 6 hours of work, while on weekends after 5 hours.

[giriton-en]

Display messages on Attendance clock

You can show messages when user clocks in on Attendance Clock. For example each time user clocks in, message can be shown if the user’s attendance contains errors.

In addition to attendance errors, you can also turn on birthday wishes, which are displayed to the user on the day of his birthday when clock in.

Notifications can be turned on by your attendance administrator in the User menu - Configuration - Notifications on terminals.

Imports, exports

We have improved the “Giriton XML” export format so that it now includes abbreviations and codes for individual attendance activities, which will enable smoother integration with other systems. It also offers the option "Export also empty values", which when turned off, the exported file will be significantly reduced.

Improved REST api

For even easier integration to other systems, we are gradually adding more REST api methods. New methods have been added for complete department management, user relocation between departments, shift management and shift planners.

REST api documentation including instructions for how to use it is here: https://is.giriton.com/apidoc/
