May 2026

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 5.30.26)

Most of this work was completed in April, with more infrastructure improvements rolling out through May and into June.

  • DigiStorage Upgrade: Employees can now grab links and Admin creating Custom Forms can use those links to files to embed files, images, and diagrams in Custom Forms such as a pool zone map.

  • User Management Improvements (Archive & Restore, Onboarding): Adding user archive/restore and improving onboarding flows (including fixes and new endpoint) makes managing accounts smoother and more flexible for admins.

April 2026

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 4.30.26)

  • Lesson Requests Features for Import: The import template got a much needed facelift for Lesson Requests. Admin can now import with a submitted at date to order/reorder Lessons Requests to align with their actual waitlist. Check it out here!

  • DigiChat Upgrade! Disable Chat Replies: You can now disable replies to mirror the mass SMS/Texting functionality! Move away from mass texting and over to the superior solution, DigiChat. Read more about this in our help center here. Remember that you can see read receipts, which is something you can’t see with texts. Now, each chat has a toggle available where you can temporarily disable replies or permanently do so as needed (to make your chat an “announcement-only” one-way solution, just like texting via the Messaging module). Remember to ensure all staff are on the mobile app to receive DigiChat push notifications!

  • DigiChat Join Logic and Cleanup: Updates to joining behavior, admin controls, and filtering archived chatrooms to enhance DigiChat overall.

  • Time Clock Module Methods for Clocking In/Out: For each employee time clock record there is now more detail in the history. A "method" now appears in the front end audit history that will show admin from what device an employee clocks in or out. Now, admin will clearly see "via mobile app"" or "Time Clock Portal" or ""browser"" when they view the history per time clock record.

March 2026

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 3.20.26)

  • Improvements to Mobile & Web Time Clock: Final updates continued for the GPS mobile functionality to capture more employee clock-in and clock-out location “pins” and detail. The Time Clock exports and Time Clock Portal also received their final updates. Taken together, all updates to the Time Clock Module to date make it the most robust, durable, and “tight” version ever. More validations in the back end translate to less errors/oversights for front end admin when reviewing, updating, and/or creating time clock records for staff.

  • Enhanced and Updated Recurring Shifts: Previously, there was a gap in which updated recurring shifts, when all are updated in the series, could break any open, pending, or approved sub-requests and revert those shifts back to the original assigned employee. After a week of dedicated review this is no longer the case.

February 2026

Release Notes | Highlights

  • Time Clock Module Restored to Mobile App, new version released on all platforms: Admin users will find a new and improved Time Clock on all platforms, including our mobile app. Upon login, you should be prompted to update your mobile app to the latest version. TIP: check the “remember me” box so that the mobile app keeps your logged in (so you don’t miss important notifications).

    The new Time Clock was rolled out between February 11th and early March (with smaller updates taking place in the final week of Feb. and first week of March). These updates are extensive and include faster search and load times, more detail when view time clock record history, and Time Clock Portal updates, to name a few. (View more detail here. This list is not exhaustive. See repository commit details below for more).

    An important update to note: now, admin need to share at least one location with an employee in order see their time clock records. Additionally, if you do not have access to an employee’s specific location, you will not be able to make edits for that location (if you need to do so, simply provide yourself access to the location via your profile.

January 2026

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 1.27.26)

  • Updated Shift Importer: multiple updates to the shift importer functionality has improved the overall process of importing assigned or unassigned (unpublished) shifts. Now, first and last names for assigned employees share the same column, making the importer a bit more streamlined. Formatting was also updated, as well as error and success email detail.

  • Upgraded React Native version: the mobile app version underwent a complete versioning overhaul this month and was released 1/15/26 (version 0.82.x)

  • Patron Counts Index Page Updated: a new layout for the Patron Counts page was updated by popular demand, with a search functionality and repositioned table to limit scrolling by employees, especially supervising admin.

December 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 12.17.25)

  • New Account Billing Page: Customers will be able to access their subscription history via a new billing page from within their DigiQuatics Account. This will host past invoices paid as well as any outstanding and/or upcoming invoices for additional services or renewals. Due to other priorities, this feature release has been delayed until Q1 2026.

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Time Clock Employee Verification: another new option has been introduced to the Time Clocks settings menu! Now, admin can enable a Verification feature so that employees can formally review (and verify) all times recorded and hours worked per week. This is done on the My Time Clocks page. Enable the feature and check that page to see how this highly requested feature works!

November 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 12.01.25)

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Custom Forms Sorting: Admin can now sort their custom forms and set a preferred order via their settings! This affects the view order for all employees in all places (the add form modal, drop-down selection, etc.) throughout the application.

  • NEW: Feature Inspections Module: Formerly "Slide Inspections" you will now find a more broad design has come to this module. It is no longer limited to just Slides, but any waterpark features, attractions, equipment, diving boards, etc. Check out your settings page for details.

October 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 10.31.25)

  • Updated Settings Page: The Admin Dashboard (your account settings page) needed some slight redesign and attention to improve the layout and navigation now that new features have been added to several menus. Admin will notice consistent font sizes and headers, "add" and "edit" buttons in more optimal places (upper left or grouped together), and aesthetically pleasing spacing between pools and features. There is now an auto-anchor feature for any menu opened, which should help to reduce scrolling.

  • Lessons Module: Removed archived lesson levels from "Next Recommended Level" on member report cards. This was broken in a previous update and showed deleted (archived) lesson levels.

  • In-Services Module: Adding instructors to in-services are now limited to employees with "manage" access. Previously, any employee could be added as an instructor.

  • Mobile App Updates: To review weekly release notes for our mobile app, visit your preferred app store for the "What’s New" list. Some highlights from this month include the introduction of (and final tweaks to) Patron Counts, Shift Reports, and Certifications Modules to the native app - the final modules/features to go live!

September 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 9.25.25)

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Open Sub Request Auto-Cancel Feature: Releasing on 9.30, there will be yet another helpful automated feature introduced to the scheduling module! If an employee has an open sub request, schedule managers can choose when staff will receive a push notification reminding them that they’re still assigned to the shift. This can be correlated with the sub request cut-off feature for the most optimal experience.

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Certifications Module Now Available in Mobile App: Check out the latest mobile app version to experience this module, now streamlined for our native mobile app! Available to admin users only. Non-Admin can preview their certs via their profile in the app.

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Custom Your Mobile App Nav Bar: Reorder/customize your nav bar on the mobile app. Users can now pin their top three favorite modules to their nav menu, and reorder the full menu on the mobile app as desired.

August 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 3.06.25)

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Scheduling Reporting Employee Search: by popular demand, an employee filter has been added to the Schedule Reporting page for all accounts using the Scheduling Module. Now you can filter to, view, and export just one set of shift and shift status records per employee.

July 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 7.31.25)

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Open Shift Max Warnings: Our team has revised and updated the Open Shifts Pending Approval page for web and mobile as well. It now includes ALL warnings (any sign-ups that exceed max daily hours and max weekly hours). Shift conflicts, which were present prior to this release on 7.31.25, have also been updated to ensure all possible conflicts, overlaps, or duplicate shifts are accounted for.

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Reverse Sort on Lesson Requests: As part of numerous updates to the Lesson Requests module, the default order for the LR queue is now oldest at the top, and newest at the bottom (oldest records ascending) by default. This was the original design and by popular demand, we’ve brought back - but with a sort button at the top if you would like to reverse sort. Most customers use this as a waitlist-style queue, so there was nearly unanimous demand to bring it back.

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Member Type Option for Lesson Requests: As part of numerous updates to the Lesson Requests module, a ""member type"" filter is now available because admin can elect to enable member type selection on the public Lesson Request form for each participant in the account. Soon, the same will be true of the member management page (but the member type filter will be available by default on that page). For more details on this new feature, visit our Tutorial Library!

  • NEW FEATURE ✅ Hide "Claim" Button for Staff on Lesson Requests: As part of numerous updates to the Lesson Requests module, admin can now disable (hide) the claim option via Lesson Requests settings in the menu. When this is done, Lesson Requests can only be assigned to staff, rather than assigned or claimed.

Make sure your mobile app is up to date.

Android devices update automatically. For iOS, if you do not have automatic updates on (via your phone settings) you will need to update in DigiQuatics app’s settings for the latest version to take effect.

April 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 4.16.25)

  • DigiChat Updates: Our latest module released to the DigiQuatics family of modules and features is DigiChat. On April 1, it was officially moved out of "BETA“ and is now live for both mobile and web applications. If you would like to learn more, see our help center or reach out to our team to take it for a two week free trial test drive. For most plans, it is included with your annual renewal!

  • Lessons Module Released to Mobile App: On April 17, look for the Group Lessons and Reporting functionality in our mobile app.

  • Maintenance Issue Assignment Alerts: Recently we have updated our maintenance notifications. There was a broken "assignment field“ property that went unreported by our customer base for quite some time. Our programming team has taken the opportunity to revise this; now any employee (admin or non-admin) with access to the maintenance issue module will receive a text and email alert when an issue is assigned to them. (These work independent of the Issue Urgency Notifications). If you are using our mobile app, the alert will arrive as a push notification.

  • Disable Employee Clock In/Out from Dashboard and My Time Clocks: Admin can now disable the Time Clock from their account’s dashboard and the My Time Clocks when employees clock-in/out. This is typically in place with exclusive use of the Time Clock Portal.

  • Custom Forms "All Locations" feature: forms can now be created across multiple locations and toggled on for all locations if desired

DigiQuatics Mobile App

Additionally, the list order itself now aligns with our Employees and Scheduling pages (ordered A-Z by last name, descending).

February 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 3.07.25)

  • Mobile App Available in all App Stores: Weekly updates have been ongoing as our new native app approaches full functionality by late April. Please remember to turn on automatic updates for iOS in your settings for the App Store. For more information, visit this help article.

  • Accessibility Improvements:  In 2024 continuing through May 2025, our team has be performing extensive accessibility reviews and releasing numerous modifications to DigiQuatics in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) with specific focus on requirements outlined in Colorado State bill HB21-1110. Multiple accessibility issues across various pages were addressed in recent months to enhance usability for those with disabilities. See the detail section below for specific WCAG updates released in for this month.

  • CRUD Functionality & Endpoint Additions:  Introduced Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) endpoints for issues and lesson requests, enabling streamlined management of these data entities. New endpoints were also added to retrieve shift total hours and check version information, providing programmatic access to these data points.

  • Mobile App 1.1.0 Release & Push Notifications:  Implemented push notification functionality for maintenance issues for timely alerts.

  • Lesson Report Emails & Other Miscellaneous:  Reverted the report card emailing process if no member email address is available. Addressed other minor bugs and implemented general functionality and performance updates.

January 2025

Release Notes | Highlights (Revised 3.06.25)

  • SMS Disable/Enable Controls for Admin: Admin will now see a place on each employee profile in the "Admin" section/box where they can manually disable or enable text messaging for individual employees. If an employee opts out of text notifications by responding "STOP"" the admin will now be able to check that section of an employee profile: if it reads disabled, this typically indicates they have opted out or do not have a valid phone number listed on their profile. This allows the Admin to troubleshoot and address the issue, if necessary. Remember: if an employee opts out, they will need to re-subscribe to DigiQuatics text messaging by replying "START" to the number shown on their My Notifications page.

  • Automatic Processing of Sub-Requests: This month, our team fine-tuned and completed the automatic processing of sub-request shifts that were either still open until the time of the shift or picked up but not approved prior to the time of the shift. Multiple updates took place, the latest of which now keeps the shifts visible on both the Open Sub Request and Sub Requests Pending Approval pages for the duration of the day of the shift. At the end of the day, such sub-request shifts move to the Processed page and will show "Expired"" and "Processed by DigiQuatics System". Overall, this reduces the manual efforts required by Schedule managers who previously had to clear these shifts themselves. A similar enhancement that mirrors this functionality is planned for Open Shifts this Spring.

  • Mobile App Soft Launch: As of January 8th, our mobile app is now available for testing on iOS. Android device testing will be available soon. To test our mobile app, use the form listed here in this help article to request an invite to install TestFlight and login (currently available to admin only for BETA testing purposes). Our official launch will be mid February, and our app will then be available to all users in both the Apple Store and on Google Play.

December 2024

Release Notes | Highlights (Updated 1.07.25)

  • DigiChat BETA (updated): The newest edition to the DigiQuatics suite of modules is available for select account release. If you wish to test out this new in-app custom group chat feature, reach out to our team via the chat or email and your account manager will activate it for you (Visible to admin only). Updates to DigiChat include new support for emojis and links, making it much easier to communicate with your staff and easily post reminders such as to a link to "check your schedule at My Schedule" (then monitor which staff did not view your post).

  • Sub-Request Expiration: Our team has released an enhancement to the sub-requests flow that nicely polishes off the sub-request experience for both non-admin/standard staff users and for admin/schedule-modify users. Now, DigiQuatics will automatically archive (mark expired) any sub-requests for which the start time/date has past.

    This includes both Open Sub Requests and Sub Requests Pending Approval. This ultimately makes your account’s schedule managers’ job easier as it takes any manual clean-up away when sub-requests are not processed in a timely fashion or staff fail to request subs soon enough. At the same time, this provides more clarity for all users, especially staff, who might wonder what happened with their sub request (if the shift wasn’t approved or denied, as it will now read "expired").

    A follow-up feature is planned for release prior to April 2025 whereby admin will be able to set an "auto-decline/denial'" of any sub-request prior to X hours before the shift start time. This will generate a mobile push notification to the staff person reminding them it is still their responsibility and they must work the shift.

November 2024

Release Notes | Highlights (Updated 11.25.24)

  • Availabilities/Availability Page Updates: Our team has added a filter by position option for the Employee Availability page. We have also added a new week to week navigation, which further aligns with the main Schedule page. This is a sweeping update giving a facelift to this page used by schedule managers to lock staff availability on a rolling basis/date of their choosing (Scheduled for Release 11.15.24).

  • Browser Warning for Schedule Actions: Due to an increase in users accidently updating shift series, there is now a warning that communicates the number of shifts that will be affected. This warning is effective when updating, publishing, or deleting shifts that are part of a series. It reminds users that shift times, notes, the location, position, and employee assigned will ALL be updated.

  • Location Removed from an Employee: In September, we released a very helpful feature that alerts admin when they archiving an employee that has upcoming shifts on the schedule. Now, when removing a location, a similar warning appears when an employee has future shifts and provides the following options: "Unassign and unpublish shifts" or "Unassign and mark as published Open Shifts". This can save a great deal of time for Schedule Managers and Admin, while also preventing the problems that can occur when a location is removed from an employee’s profile in error (and thus cannot see shifts for that location).

  • Chemical Records Quick Link Updated: There has been an ongoing issue that crops up when locations are added without pools. If they are in the priority position (at the top) of an employee’s location list on their profile, a 504 Error would occur. Now, new programming redirects the user to the next available location and pool.

Attention! New Module Released

DigiChat (BETA) is newest edition to the DigiQuatics suite of modules and available for select account release. If you wish to test out this new in-app custom group chat feature, reach out to our team via support or email and your account manager will activate it for you (visible to admin only). For more information on this module, visit our help center: article here.

October 2024

Release Notes | Highlights

  • Fix for Chemical Records Pool Temperature Highlighting: Some users were experiencing a permanent conditional highlight for pool temp when settings a custom temperature range. This has been fixed.

  • Dashboard Quick Links Updated: When selected "Add Form" this will now launch any forms to which the employee has been granted access. Additionally, the quick links order have been reordered according to majority vote/feedback. Generally, this new top to bottom order is based on feedback and which quick links are most commonly accessed/used.

  • Availabilities/Availability Page Updates: Our team has added a filter by position option for the Employee Availability page. We have also added a new week to week navigation, which further aligns with the main Schedule page. (Scheduled for Release 10.30.24).

  • New Time Clock Module Released: A new and improved location filter (that sorts time clock records by location instead of employees), much faster load times for filtering employees and date ranges, enhanced GPS flags, and optimized shift association functionality.

  • Time Clock Grouped by Employee Export Overhaul: For those who upvoted a better format for printing the Grouped by Employee export, you are in luck: this is now reformatted to be much larger font size (because there are less columns displayed). For those who do not like this, please schedule a call with our team to review your options: we highly recommend reviewing the Ungrouped Export if you are currently deleting columns when processing payroll. Note that a new feature coming in early 2025 or sooner will be introduce to accommodate customizable columns prior to exporting.

  • DigiChat BETA: The newest edition to the DigiQuatics suite of modules is ready for select account release. If you wish to test out this new in-app custom group chat feature, sign up here and our team will deploy it to your account! (Visible to admin only). More info on this module is available here.

September 2024

Release Notes | Highlights

  • New Time Clock Location Flag: There is a new flag icon available that indicates one of three GPS issues for any employee clocking in. The most common is if they deny their location access from their device. This will alert admin accordingly so they can verify the employee’s presence on site or remind staff to allow their location when clocking in.

  • Time Off Requests Page Updates (Misc.): Updates to this module included sortable headers (which previously were broken), a more optimal employee/keyword search, and a new method for querying and loading time off request processed records. Overall users should experience a much improved workflow as a result.

  • DigiChat BETA: More design and development work to push this new module closer to launch!
