September Updates
September was a huge month for new features and further development of current features. Self-managed leave was rolled out along with more app updates. To correspond with this the ability to create and select the visibility of leave, meaning that Field workers were able to select what type of leave they were applying for. Bookings that were canceled outside of the cancelation window now are charged based on their configured minimum hours. The client portal was rolled out for beta testing.
Invoicing late cancellation bookings
When a booking has been called within the cancelation booking window, it's referred to as a late cancelation. This late cancelation previously was highlighted in billing but the chargers had to be manually put in by your invoices. With this new update for late cancelation bookings, the items that are scheduled are now always charged based on their configurable minimum hours set on your rate schedule.

Traffio Client Portal (Beta testing)
The Client Portal is a dedicated web application for your clients, providing them with an interface to connect directly with your business. The aim is to help you improve communication with your clients and better streamline your operations. The initial release of the Client Portal gives your clients visibility into their current and historical bookings & projects.
More specifically, clients can:
View bookings' current status
View client-visible booking documents & notes
View booking permits
View works dockets
View client-visible forms submitted on-site
The Client Portal by default is turned off due to it currently being in the testing phase so we can get feedback before releasing it to all Trafio users. If your company would like to be included in this testing please, contact us via the feedback button so we can turn it on for you.
Client Portal Invite Example
Self Managed leave
The traffio mobile app has been updated to now include a Leave tab at the bottom of the main street. This section allows workers to view their leave entries in a monthly calendar. A new configuration has been introduced called Workers can submit leave requests, when this config is enabled field workers are able to use this Leave tab to submit their own leave requests for office staff approval. Only users with the Leave approval access permission can approve and reject leave requests. By default, this configuration and permission are turned off.

Leave types
Leave types can now be marked as Visible to field workers. Doing ties in with Self-managed leave and allows field workers to choose the type of leave they are requesting (if that feature is enabled) and also controls which existing leave entries they are able to see. All existing leave types are invisible to workers by default. These can be made visible within the Admin>Leave types section of Traffio.
If you have leave entries in the system that you do not want your field workers to see, you're able to select the leave type that is not visible to workers. Only leave with visible leave type associated with them are viewable in the leave section of the app.

Fixed an issue that resulted in people with the new 'Administrator' access level being unable to upload people skills.

The 'Person' filter has been renamed 'Linked Person' (referring to the person the submission is about). A new filter called 'Author' has been added (referring to the person who submitted the form).
Fixed an issue where toll data was being matched against vehicles that were removed from bookings.
Recovering a (late) canceled booking will now reset any worker's job confirmation status, so they will have to reconfirm when the booking transitions to "Locked."

Fixed an issue where setting cutover thresholds on the rate schedule to something like 99.99 would lead to rounding errors on line item quantities.
Fixed an issue where an uncharged break could overlap with pack-up times, resulting in a missing pack-up line item
