If SAML authentication is set up, a message is displayed when disconnecting from the Desktop Application asking the user if they want to quickly disconnect.

The SAML_DECO_COMPL management rule has been created and can be set up from Tools > Setup > General Setup > Special Parameters > Management rules so you can automate the answer to this log off window:

When the SAML_DECO_COMPL rule is enabled:

  • If the Answer YES/NO to the question field is entered with OUI, the complete disconnection message is no longer displayed and all users from the company on which the rule is enabled will be completely disconnected.
  • If the Answer YES/NO to the question field is entered with NON, the complete disconnection message is no longer displayed and no one from the company on which the rule is enabled will be completely disconnected.

Note

If the rule is enabled but the Answer YES/NO to the question field is left empty, the complete disconnection message is still displayed and there will be no automatic choice.

From the Web Portal > Timesheets & schedules, there was an orange sticker in the header of each day in order to view the time left to be entered.

However, this time was only correct when the setup was simple and it did not cover all use cases of timesheet entries.

This sticker is no longer visible on the Web Portal.

A scheduled item can be marked as done from Project, by right-clicking on the scheduled item > Mark as done.

Previously, the DMF 250108 PROJECT SCHEDULE VIEW MODIFY DONE ALLOCATION was only used to allow modification of done schedules. Now, this DMF is also used to allow deletion of done scheduled items.

In order to improve Akuiteo's performance, the search method was modified for search fields that are used to search for the customer and allocation (project/phase/sub-phase). Those search fields can be found:

  • When creating timesheets, scheduled items and expense reports on the Web Portal and Akuiteo Mobile.
  • When creating scheduled items on Project.
  • When creating timesheets from a task on the Help Desk Portal.

Previously, it was a "contains" type of search, which meant that the help list showed results containing the entered value. Now, it is a "starts with" type of search, which means that the help list only shows results starting with the entered value. However, a "contains" search is still possible if needed thanks to the * character.

Example

When creating a timesheet on the Web Portal, I want to enter a timesheet on the Leave monitoring project. To search for this project and find it in the help list:

  • I can type leave.
  • I can type *mon*.
  • I can no longer type mon.

To enter an expense that contains VAT as wells as an amount not subject to VAT (for example a tourist tax for a stay at a hotel), you needed to enter 2 expense lines: 1 line with VAT and 1 line not subject to VAT. Now, Akuiteo allows you to create an expense that contains both an amount subject to VAT and an amount not subject to VAT.

From the setup of expense types in the Desktop Application > Tools > Setup > General setup > Expense reports > Expenditure type:

  • The Include amount not subject to VAT option was added in the expense type's record sheet > Expense amount section. This option is only available for Normal and Restaurant / Triple VAT expense types.
  • The Includes amount not subject to VAT column was added in the search results of expense types.

If the Include amount not subject to VAT option is checked for an expense type, then the Amount not subject to VAT field is available in order to enter an expense with this type:

  • On the Desktop Application (My Akuiteo > My current expense report or My expense reports)

  • On the Web Portal (Employee > Expense reports > + Expense)

  • On the mobile application

Important

This upgrade requires to enable the following feature flag: Transverse Domain > Conditional Formatting Result Label. To enable it, go to the Administration console > Configuration > Features, enable the Conditional Formatting Result feature flag then log in again.

The conditional formatting feature is used to apply a particular formatting (color, font) to results that respect a previously defined condition, in order to visually showcase those results compared to the others.

Previously, this feature was only accessible on the Desktop Application and is now available from search results tables in the Help Desk Portal and the Main Portal. This feature will also be available in future web portals provided by Akuiteo.

To access it, click on on the top right of a search results table then on Conditional formatting. Then, enter the desired conditional formatting rules.
