# Release Notes July 22, 2026

This release introduces clearer authentication terminology, improved break reporting, expanded Job List export options, and more flexible employee reporting permissions.

### Time and Attendance

#### Employee reporting permissions are easier to manage

The **Employee Reporting Method** configuration has been simplified by grouping employee timesheet permissions into dedicated controls. A new **Employee Self-Entry** option replaces the previous manual entry settings and allows administrators to separately control whether employees can:

- Manage clock in and out entries.
- Manage hours entries.
- Manage payable entries, such as expenses and tips.

A separate **Timesheet Review & Approval** option also allows employees to approve timesheets without granting permission to edit timesheet entries. These changes make employee reporting permissions easier to configure while providing greater flexibility over employee access.

### HR Data Management

#### Authentication replaces Credentials

We've updated employee authentication terminology throughout the application to provide clearer and more consistent language. This update includes:

- The **Credentials** tab in the employee profile has been renamed to **Authentication**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-D71QBKQJ.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T10%3A45%3A30Z&se=2026-11-01T11%3A45%3A30Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zkBpt%2F9XXI6me%2FowkOuOkpGUACvrM4y9igiH3PSFO%2F4%3D)
- The **Employee Credentials** report has been renamed to **Employee authentication methods**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-NYARPNF3.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T10%3A45%3A30Z&se=2026-11-01T11%3A45%3A30Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zkBpt%2F9XXI6me%2FowkOuOkpGUACvrM4y9igiH3PSFO%2F4%3D)
- Related privileges have been renamed to use the new **Authentication** terminology.
- Labels and references throughout the application have been updated for consistency.

This is a terminology update only. Existing functionality and permissions remain unchanged.

### Reports

#### Break Detailed report separates independent unplanned breaks

The **Break Detailed** report now displays independent unplanned breaks on their own rows, making them easier to identify. Previously, unplanned breaks were not always displayed separately. Now:

- Unplanned breaks that are not associated with a planned or taken break appear on their own report line.
- Unplanned breaks associated with another break continue to appear with their related planned or taken break.
- Existing break calculations and report totals remain unchanged.

### Exports

#### Filter Job List exports by record status

The **Job List** data provider now includes additional status filtering and reporting options for Job Costing records.

You can now:

- Filter exported records by **Active Only**, **Archived Only**, or **All**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-H5OO0LQX.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T10%3A45%3A30Z&se=2026-11-01T11%3A45%3A30Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zkBpt%2F9XXI6me%2FowkOuOkpGUACvrM4y9igiH3PSFO%2F4%3D)
- Include **Job Status**, **Project Status**, **Client Status**, and **Task Status** as export columns. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-YCUSGER7.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T10%3A45%3A30Z&se=2026-11-01T11%3A45%3A30Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zkBpt%2F9XXI6me%2FowkOuOkpGUACvrM4y9igiH3PSFO%2F4%3D)
- Generate cleaner exports that focus only on the records you need.
