The design has been updated. For example, the official colour code of the registration is shown.
💁 Like on the web portal, a registration that has been payroll processed cannot be deleted. |
Native app
 |
Security and ease of use
The new app is native.
This means improved security.
And not least improved ease of use when creating time registrations. |
|
Login: Face ID
If Face ID is activated, the user is automatically logged in when the app is opened.
Login: Single sign-on (SSO)
When entering the email (user name), the app recognizes if the user is connected to SSO. Hence, we have removed the separate SSO login button. Making it more easy to login.
💁 We still have the separate SSO login button on the web portal!
Forgotten password
It is now possible to request a new password from the mobile app. Provided the user is not connected to SSO.
|
Team Calender
The Team Calendar has been upgraded with the same features as on the web portal and in the Outlook app.
💁 Hence, global settings now apply across mobile, web and Outlook.
With the adjustments necessary to match a smaller screen on mobiles.
 
|
Planing views More planning views are now available to select between: 1 day, 3 days or 5 days.
Daily work hours If 1 day view is selected, official working hours with start time and end time can be shown.
This requires that work day start time and end time has been created.
Setting options:
The setting options are many when it comes to the Team Calendar, to mention a few:
|
Approver
The approver role has been upgraded with a large number of the functions that the web portal and the Outlook app already have today.
With the new app, the approver can handle all his or here BitaBIZ tasks from the mobile.
 |
Employee statistics Access to employee statistics:
Employee info Access to employee master data via the "See employee info" drop-down box:

 |
Create registrations on behalf of employees
The approver can now create and delete registrations for employees from the mobile app.
The approver has access to the individual employee's calendar (registrations).
Employees are automatically informed via e-mail when the approver create or delete a registration on behalf of an employee.
|
 |
Filter for processing requests
The approver now has access to the same filters for processing request as on the web portal.
|
 |
Awaiting approval list
Like on the web portal, the approver can now approve only one request, selected multiple requests or click select all to approve all requests on the list.
|
 |
Balance box when approving
If the approver chooses to process only one request from the list. Then the balance related to the request will be displayed. Including the new balance after approval.
This applies to all 4 balances:
Please note, balances have balance control. Employees cannot make requests that breaks the vacation or time policy.
The approver can therefore safely use the "Approve all" function.
|
 |
Notifications
Approver can now handle the notification-flow from the mobile.
Hence, select when to be notified directly and when not to be notified. |
Balance box & Standard work hours
The Balance box
With the new app, the balance box we know from vacation and other vacations is now also introduced to Hour bank (overtime & time off) and Day bank (plus and minus days).
The balance box is now implemented on all 4 balances. In this way, the employee and approver can see how a request affects the balance in question.
Regardless of whether it is overtime, care days, vacation, other vacation, time off or a company specific day off:
Standard work hours
If your employees are set up with standard hours that include start and end time of the working day, the app will guide the employee not to book overtime within normal working hours and, conversely, the employee will be guided not to book time off and sick hours outside normal working hours.
 |
Example: Overtime Correctly created.
Depending on the actual time the overtime is created... the app will suggest creating overtime either before or after normal working hours.
If the clock is 17:00 at the time of registration. Then the app will suggest registration of overtime from 16:00(work day end) to 17:00. |
 |
Example: Overtime Incorrectly created.
Employee has changed the proposed time period for overtime from outside normal working hours to within normal working hours.
The app therefore informs the employee that it is not possible.
|
 |
Example: Time off
The employee correctly applies for time off within normal working hours.
But the Hour bank balance is in minus (there are no saving in the Hour bank).
This is communicated via the yellow balance box.
The approver will see the same yellow marking of the balance box when the request is processed. |
 |
Example: Day bank - Minus day
Minus days are used for multiple purposes. For example;
Minus days now also have a balance box. Requests overlapping weekends and public holidays do not count towards the balance (like vacation and other vacation).
Plus days are used, for example, to earn days off in relation to weekend shifts.
