December 2016 Product Updates
As we get ready for summer 2017 improving DigiQuatics is our top priority. Below are the updates that were completed this month and some ideas we would like to get feedback on for next month .
Staff Scheduling Module
Day view has been released! You can now view the "daily" schedule for both employee and shift build modes
Redesigned layout on mobile view for staff schedule
Improved speed significantly on mobile view for staff schedule
Fixed bug around time of shift displaying incorrectly on mobile view when switching between modes and days
Changed language slightly for sub requests to make it more clear what "stage" a sub request is in, i.e. "Pending", "Approved", etc.
Chemical Records Module
DigiQuatics now automatically calculates the amount of each chemical you need to add to balance your pool chemistry, read our blog post on automatic chemistry recommendations in DigiQuatics
To further improve risk management we added a "history" feature to chemical records. To view any updates or changes to a particular chemical record simply go to the record you want to look into and click the "history" button
Employee Module
"Last Seen" information can be found under each employees position list on the employee list page. This shows the last time they logged in or had activity in DigiQuatics
You can now resend DigiQuatics welcome email / text messages to employees
Date of Hire select box now shows current year + 1 year in the cases you are hiring people near the end of the current year
You can now "delete" employees in DigiQuatics. Only super admins have this ability. The option to delete employees will appear in their profile. When you delete an employee you can optionally write in a reason for the removal of the employee and it will automatically record the date
Private Lesson Module
Semi-private lessons, you can now add multiple participants to each private lesson request
Changed language from parent / child to primary contact / participant
Improved user interface and design
Time Clock Module
You can now override the automatically calculated latitude and longitude for each location you use GPS Time Clock In / Out for. To manually drag the location pin to the desired location for employee clock ins and outs navigate to the Settings page and open the Location tab. Next, click the link titled "Location on map not exact?" to bring up the override page, then simply drag the pin to the exact location you need and click the "Update" button
Slightly increase clock in and out radius to accommodate non-wifi geolocation lookups via mobile devices
My Time Clocks page now displays the daily total hours for each day
Attendance Records Module
Renamed to "Patron Counts"
Attendance Record Areas has been renamed to "Zones"
Checklist Module
Checklists can now be configured to only show up on specified days of the week
Positions
You can now add a "priority" to each position in the settings page. This will set the sort order for positions throughout DigiQuatics. This is part of the groundwork needed for "auto-scheduling", which we plan to roll out by the end of 2017
General
Performance improvements
Updated pricing model for new organizations that sign on with DigiQuatics
Prepping app for mobile app rollout next year on iOS and Android
There is now an app "Status" page for DigiQuatics. To view the status of the website and check for downtimes visit our new status page
A warning message will now appear if employees access the schedule or other time zone dependent pages in the app from another time zone. A great example of this would be if an employee is on vacation and they are outside the organization's time zone
Changed checkboxes to toggles for easier way of marking fields as "complete" from mobile devices
Bug Fixes
Fixed issue with printing on employee based mode using position filter (post multiple-position update)
Fixed rounding bug where no clocked out shifts would not show sum of hours worked for an employee on the employee Time Clock page
We need you!

Referral Program
If you love DigiQuatics and want to help us grow so we can continue to provide a quality service to you and expand and improve it, we would love if you referred us to other organizations that could use DigiQuatics! Some of our customers have discussed us in their monthly Parks and Recreation Meeting for Aquatics and handed out fliers. PS We would send you a t-shirt and some DigiQuatics stickers in return :)
