Fatigue360

This month, we're introducing a much requested feature; Automatic Bank Holiday Leave Booking! 

To get this setup, you will need to set the Bank Holidays that a Staff Member will have (options from 'England & Wales', 'Scotland' & 'Northern Ireland'), either via the Staff form or by using the Staff Importer (remember for existing staff to have one of their cards as an identifier). 

Then in the background, all future Bank Holidays will be automatically booked as Leave. If you have rostered the Staff Member to work on a Bank Holiday, then this is will not remove them but flag this as an issue for you to deal with.

We pull in the Bank Holidays from the UK Gov website which is currently populated through to the end of 2026 and periodically the system will check for any new bank holidays that are added so you'll never need to do this again.

This feature has been upvoted by a variety of users in our Feature Requests - so if there is feature you are keen to see added to Fatigue360 then make sure you submit it and give an upvote for existing requests added by others. We discuss them internally when deciding on what features to add, and will try to engage with Users to discuss the finer details of their requests.

At Weston Analytics we are committed to ensuring the highest standards of security for all users on its platform. 

As part of this ongoing commitment, we are announcing a series of enhancements to our account security measures, set to begin in April and running through to end of June. These updates are designed to provide a secure and reliable experience.

New Security Measures (starting April 16 2024)

• Mandatory Password Updates: All users (except those using Single Sign-On (SSO)) will be required to update their passwords every 90 days. This will ensure that all accounts meet our stringent security standards. Upon login, users will receive a notification that they are required to do this, and an email will be sent to the email address listed with instructions.
• Account Deactivation for Inactive Users: In an effort to streamline user access and maintain a secure platform, the system will automatically deactivate accounts that have not been accessed for more than 90 days. Affected users will receive an email notification informing them of the deactivation and outline the steps to reactivate their account.

These enhancements are part of our proactive approach to security and are informed by an extensive analysis of user account activity. To avoid being caught by this on the 16th April, you can update your password at any point between now and then using the 'Forgot Password' tool on the login screen.  The next time you'll be asked is  90 days after you update it.

Introducing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) (starting April 30 2024)

We will be implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), requiring users to verify their identity by entering a code sent to their email address. This will be rolled out in two phases:

1. Web/Cloud Applications: Starting April 30 2024, 2FA will be introduced for web/cloud-based applications (including the MacRail System, Worksite360, and Fatigue360).
2. Mobile Applications: 2FA will be extended to our mobile apps towards the end of Q1 (April-June 2024). Detailed information about the app specific rollout will be provided closer to time.

All users will need to comply with the 2FA requirement unless they are utilising Single Sign-On (SSO) in which case your own Organisation's rules will apply.

A Commitment to Security:

These updates underscore our dedication to providing a secure, reliable platform for our diverse user base. We understand these changes may require an adjustment period and are committed to supporting our users through this transition. The staggered nature of this implementation will allow us to respond to feedback and make adjustments along the way.

For any inquiries, please contact us via the helpdesk: helpdesk@westonanalytics.com 

Fatigue360

Competency Expiry Notifications

Starting from today, when a Staff member's competencies are due to expire, a daily notification will be sent out to inform licensed Users of this occurrence. By default, this notification will be issued 30 days in advance, but each Organisation has the option to modify this setting (to as few as 7 days, or as many as 60 days).

Knowing when a staff member's competencies are expiring is essential for ensuring compliance, safety, quality, and efficiency of any organisation's operations.

Where Staff members have multiple competencies expiring on the same day, the notification will indicate the total number of competencies due to expire. If they have only one competency expiring, then this will be specifically mentioned.

By default all applicable users will be opted in to receive this notification (unless we've been requested to not do so). We've taken this action as part of our expansion of the competency module in Fatigue360, which started with the widget added to the Dashboard last month showing what competencies were expiring in the selected date range or week. 

If you don't wish to receive the Notification - you can opt-out at at any time by accessing your Notification options (Profile Menu (your name) -> Notifications) and unticking 'Competency Expiring' notification. 

Additional Changes

• New Export option added to generate Staff Timesheet Export Using Planned Data.
• Week dropdown added back to the Dashboard to allow quick change of week using the same filter.
• Further updates  to the Sentinel lookup to work with Sentinel's 2 Factor Authentication update.
• On Import of Staff, if a team is listed that doesn't already exists that team will be created and the Staff member assigned to it.

Integrations

• New option added to the M-Site Integration to retrieve the Postcode when limited to enrolled employees only.

Workforce App

• Number of past actual shifts visible updated to show the last 7 days. Staff can only update shifts for up to 48 hours after the shift has started.

Worksite360

• Further updates to the Sentinel import to work with Sentinel's 2 Factor Authentication update.

We've received a number of suggested features this month that are now publicly available for upvoting.  Upvoting these highlights the level of interest there is in a particular item, and we take that into account when determining what we should be doing to improve the various products.  So please consider taking a look at them or leaving your own suggestions.

Notifications

Workforce App

Starting today (26th July), a new daily Notification will be sent to Users of the Workforce App at 4pm to tell them about updates (made in the previous 24 hours) to their shifts for the next 7 days. (Update; an issue prevented some Notifications from being sent out on the 26th, but all Notifications fired successfully on the 27th July).

This notification will tell them about shifts they have been assigned to, had the times (start/finish) or role changed.  It will also tell them about any new shifts that have been created and any shifts that have been cancelled (so long as they are still assigned to them).

By default, this new Notification is enabled for all Clients as we view this as an important update to the platform as it ensures Staff are aware of changes being made to their upcoming shifts.  A new setting Roster Update Notifications has been added to the Settings screen in Fatigue360 whereby you can disable this notification.

We'll be monitoring the output of this Notification, and welcome any feedback to improve this.

Fatigue360

A new Notification has been added for licenced Users in Fatigue360, that will show whether a Staff Member accepts or rejects a request to work a shift via the Workforce App.  This is an optional notification and can be enabled by accessing the Notification screen from the profile menu in Fatigue360.

Misc. / Other Changes

This month we've made several updates that aim to improve the performance in certain areas of the platform that we had identified. The improvements have either come through a reduction in queries or by moving some tasks to be processed in the background.

We can see from our server monitoring, that the changes outlined below have already had a positive impact on reducing potential bottlenecks. 

This will be an ongoing process as we continue to monitor and identify other areas that need to be tackled.

Platform

• Reduced the number of queries required for tracking the logged-in session to improve overall performance and number of transactions.

Fatigue360

• Calculation of rest and the Fatigue/Risk indexes when copying or deleting an Event are now processed in the background. This decreases the time it takes to perform either of these actions.
• Re-calculation of rest and the Fatigue/Risk indexes after updating an actual has been moved to be processed in the background, greatly improving the time it would take to modify an older actual.
• Syncing of a shift on an Event Request will sync valid shifts and exclude those with issues. Previously an issue in the request (e.g., Staff Member doesn’t exist) would prevent synchronisation of all shifts.

Worksite360

• Screens have been added to the Organisation Dashboard to allow for custom entries to be added for all Close Call lookup fields.
• Added option for Users to submit a request for a Card that they own via Worksite360 for Organisations that allow users to do this.
• Updated the Excel Export for Inductions to include the recorded Primary Sponsor for each inducted person.

Enviro360

• A new version of the App was released to address a bug when scanning NFC tags on a device running Android 13.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a query processing issue where multiple expensive queries would reduce the overall performance of the platform.
• Fixed an issue where an actual on a Supplier Event would be used in the Fatigue Calculation after the Event was deleted/cancelled.
• Fixed an issue where a cancelled shift would continue to be displayed on the Staff timeline for a cancelled Supplier Event that was no longer accessible.
