Workhub version 4.65.1
Hello folks,
This week's release is small. We have a small functionality change for our Rewards functionality and a few small bug fixes.
Within Rewards, we previously had a status shown for orders placed by Workers. In splitting the Rewards component into Rewards and Point History, that functionality was inadvertently removed. We have reintroduced it, and there is now an Order History tab within the Rewards component to inform folks of the status of their orders again.
For bug fixes, we have:
Online Training: the CSV and PDF downloads for Worker Compliance lacked middle names and now the column exists properly. The first and middle names for Workers were appearing in the Worker Compliance list without a space between them, and now the space will be present.
Inspections: Workers were not properly being accorded points for Inspection submissions if limitations existed for point accrual. That has been corrected.
Rewards/Point History: some display issues in mobile have been corrected. An issue regarding the adjustment of points when a Worker's points were negative has also been corrected.
Workhub version 4.65.0
Hello folks, This week's release includes a major change to our Rewards functionality. Previously, the Rewards component housed information relating to the Rewards catalogue and Workers' points. As we've expanded our Culture & Recognition program to include Scratch Cards and Kudos & Core Values (with more to come as well!), we've split the Rewards component into two separate components - Rewards and Point History. Point History will now contain information relating to your Workers' points - their current point balance, a point adjustment history, over point history, and our cost configurator will all now live in this component. The Rewards component will retain the Rewards catalogue and Worker redemptions, as well as the Permissions and Settings that will control both Rewards and Points History.
We are also publishing a series of bug fixes this week, including fixes for:
Online Training: Limit Access was not applying properly to CSV reports
Certificates: a discrepancy existed between automatically uploaded Certificates and the Certificate details in specific cases
Incidents & Hazards: the Possible Recipients paginator was hidden by the Add/Cancel buttons
Safety Meetings: a pending comment icon was appearing incorrectly and archived meetings were missing their status label
Assets: the Asset CSV download had data appearing in incorrect columns
Supervisor Compliance Reminder emails: the links in the Supervisor Compliance Reminder emails were broken or pointing incorrectly
We also have a couple of enhancements, including:
Certificates: removal of the Compliant status for Optional assignments in Worker Compliance CSV downloads
Incidents & Hazards: a new column has ben included in the CSV download for Closed By information for each report
Workhub version 4.64.2
Our release this week has a small selection of bug fixes.
Bug Fixes
Online Training:
we've fixed an issue with downloading Certificates from completed Optional courses
when creating a question for a custom course, the answers were resetting to the default values after saving. We've fixed it.
Inspections:
downloaded Inspection submission PDFs were displaying blank pages instead of images. They will now display images in their correct locations.
Inspection Submission PDFs downloaded from the Admin dash from submissions with issues still needing Admin action were downloading without all the report contents. They will now have all the information for the download.
Polls:
polls were appearing multiple times on worker dashboards. They will now only appear once when assigned
Safety Meetings:
some workers in some accounts were unable to Acknowledge Safety Meetings. That issue has been resolved
Update to Online Training (4.64.1)
Hello folks,
This release contains changes to the Online Training component. Most changes are present on the Admin dash but there is a small change to the Worker dash as well.
Admin dash changes:
Workhub-provided courses can now be removed from and added to the course list as desired by admins
Custom courses have been integrated into the main course list instead of existing in their own tab. The process for creating a custom course has been streamlined.
Filters have been created for the course list to allow easier viewing
Additional columns have been added to the course list, including separate columns for required and optional completion, Active status, and Certificate connection
Lessons will remain selectable, but at least one must remain for a course to be present in the course list
Classroom Results tool is now its own tab within a lesson rather than a button function within the Quiz Questions tab
Worker dash changes:
the paginator for the Worker course list has been removed and instead the list will scroll through all the results
Filters have been created and applied to the Worker list, including filters for To Do, Done, and Optional. The page will default to show To Do first. If there are no courses To Do, the filter will instead show All
The courses will show in order of Priority, with Critical priority courses showing at the top first and Low priority courses showing at the bottom of the list
Workhub Version 4.64
Hi folks! Our release on Friday, November 8th 2024 is for version 4.64 and includes mostly smaller bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
Bug Fixes:
In Action Items, an issue with the source for an action item not appearing in the PDF list download has been resolved, and the list should now update properly when an Action item is deleted. Our Notify By SMS option was still appearing when the option was disabled by an administrator, but we've addressed that and the option will no longer appear if SMS has been disabled. In Assets, we resolved an issue affecting the incorrect generation of our Asset QR Codes. In Incidents & Hazards, we addressed a problem with the information on our Incident Chart generating differently from the information in the Incident list. In our Materials & SDS component, we fixed a problem affecting our Location filtering option. Finally, within our Workers component, we resolved a problem wherein the information for a Supervisor's Direct Reports' compliance was incorrectly showing as their own instead of the Worker's.
Improvements:
For improvements, we've implemented our in-page scrolling option and column selector functionality to a few new pages. This functionality is being rolled out across all of Workhub a few pages at a time. The changes for this update apply to:
Polls (Worker side)
Safety Meetings (Worker side)
Behaviour Observations (Worker side)
Workhub version 4.56.0
Hi folks! Today's release updates Workhub to version 4.56.0 and includes some big changes to our Audit Standards tool.
We have updated our Audit tool to Audit Preparation, and with that name change comes a host of functionality changes. You'll now be able to undertake multiple audits using the same standard, add details for your auditor and your audit targets, create Action Items from your audit checks, and keep track of your goals and targets with visual aids and history logs for all your changes.
With that change also necessitates the archiving of our old Audit Standards. Any Audits you had previously worked on or had in progress will be moved to our Legacy tab. Audits housed in that Legacy tab will be editable until December 31, 2024, and after that date they will be reference only.
We're also releasing 20+ bug fixes, including fixes for missing fields in our Incidents & Hazards CSV download, Safety Meetings tweaks, translation troubles in Certificates, and the addition of a new time zone (Malaysia, GMT +8).
Have a happy, safe Easter weekend!
Workhub Version 4.55.0
It's been a minute since we last published news regarding our releases, but we're back to let you know about some exciting changes! Version 4.55.0 was released on Friday, March 8th, 2024.
The Nitty Gritty:
We've made major changes to our Surveys component, allowing you to collect data with more anonymity and greater consistency, and we've added a couple of downloadable options within the component to help you better track the information generated by your Worker's responses.
We've implemented a new table structure in several of our components that allows you to sort the items in the list using arrows at each column top, control column widths, rearrange your columns, and click into items in the list without resetting the list back to the top. We're releasing it piecemeal through the Admin dash to make sure it fits everywhere we want it just right. Check out the progress of this new functionality in Safety Meetings, Behaviour Observations, Incidents & Hazards, Polls, Other Forms, and our new Surveys component.
Changes have been made in Policies and Procedures for better submission, viewing, and handling of comments. Each component has additional Permissions for comments, so be sure to review those if your admins need to view, review, and engage with comments!
We've made improvements to the Checkout process for Rewards, so Workers will now have their previous addresses saved for a quicker, more accurate checkout each time.

fixes for charts/graphs misbehaving

Do you know what is even more invigorating than that? A new release from Workhub! Here are some of the highlights:

When viewing inactive workers, the compliance column will only say inactive and not terminated or eligible for rehire. For any Admins with hr/notes permissions, all of this functionality will stay the same. 📏
