Inviting Several Users at Once
While we’re working on a bigger update coming in September, we wanted to give you a taste of one of its major new features right now – the ability to invite several users to the system at once.

This is another step towards improved user management functionality that we addressed in the previous update.
Just fill out a simple form with their names and emails, hit the Send invitations button and there you have it!

Invitations for new users
Enjoy the new smooth workflow while adding users to actiTIME. New users now receive email invitations when you add them to the system. Notification comes with a link to actiTIME allowing user to setup password during the first login. Simple and convenient! What is more, if you set user’s Hire Date to the future, the invitation will be sent on this future date.
New Personal Profile
Explore the new, fully redesigned ‘My Profile’ interface. Now each user can see major personal profile settings (account information, work schedule, accrual rules etc.) which makes the whole experience more transparent. When any of these settings change, user will receive automatic email notification.
Sick Days Balance
This release brings in a long awaited feature – Sick Days balance. Now in addition to tracking Paid Time Off balance of users, it is also possible to set up a separate balance for registering sick leaves.
For each leave type you can define whether it should affect PTO, Sick Days balance or none.
Accrue Time Off on Hire Date
Another new feature recently added to actiTIME now allows you to set PTO balance to be accrued not only weekly or monthly but also yearly or on hire date of a user.
