Schedules (a.k.a. working hours) for field employees that are different from those for office-based employees. And it doesn’t stop there—schedules can vary by department, by office, and by day. Yes, even by day! Think 10 hours Monday to Thursday, then 6 hours on Friday. So. Many. Schedules. Up until now, Kompass could only manage one universal set of start and end times. But not anymore! You can now define your own schedules—and make them as complex as you like. Want to set a unique schedule for each employee? Go for it. The choice (and chaos) is yours!

Festivities are approaching for most of us, and so are the days to relax and celebrate! Wondering which days are holidays? Just check the top of your schedule, you can now see the holiday names. Whether you're celebrating, resting, or simply enjoying some time off, we hope you make the most of these days!

What is the utilization rate, you might ask? Simply sum up all the worked hours of your organization (or even just your department, if you prefer). Then, divide that by the theoretical number of billable hours, which is the sum of all 'scheduled days' hours. And voilà! This shows the capacity of your team, helping you determine whether you need to take on more projects or hire additional staff. It enables strategic decision-making with just a mouse hover.

Some projects have a decent amount of proposal items while some others are greedily count hundreds of them. And then, when raising an invoice and allocating the amount under a single proposal item, you'll have to scroll through these hundreds of items. Sounds fun
(not!)
. Now, with this tick box next to your allocations, you can only view those that have actually an amount next to them. The scroll wheel of your mouse should already be a tad happier.

It will be somehow difficult to capture all the new features of our Timesheets/Diary module (but we'll try).
Clock in and clock out from tasks rather than trying to recall how many hours you spent on each task. Capture your exact position when clocking in and out (if allowed by the user). Review all the timesheets of all the employees you are managing in one page (rather than having to flick through each user). Batch approve or reject entries and record any non-billable hours. Too many great things? Oh yes!
Another new starter in your company and you will have to yet again walk them through Kompass. How tiring can that become for you and your managers? Well, here's yet another weight off your shoulders. Upon resetting your new starters' password, they will receive the link to our new "Welcome to Kompass" article that will help them navigate through the core functionalities of Kompass.

Finally, the update I was waiting for (I mean, you might find it brilliant as well!) So far you could only export .csv files from the Timesheets/ Diary page. Now you can export Excel spreadsheets with all your payroll or other calculations already in the file. Similar to our Project Performance Report (PPR) but for diary entries.

It was just a month ago that we have introduced the user defined fields for the Suppliers page. We were just preparing ourselves for the big announcement: You can now set your own fields under the projects page as well. No reason for placing all these extra data under the details field any more, have them under their own little boxes.

Here's a problem for you. You have your expense types all set like, accommodation, fuel, rent. But then your employees start recording their expenses and they are using non-billable expense types for billable works and vice versa. Suddenly, it's like a game of financial Whack-a-Mole. Fear not, we've got your back. You can decide which expense types are billable and which are not. And depending on your project, you will only get what you need.

Did you know you can fine search your projects with our collection of key words? Yes you can and here are all your options: https://support.kompassbms.com/article/104-power-search-box. What you didn't know though is that you can now save those searches as a filter set so that you'll have them handy when needed. And you can create as many as you like.
