We are excited to announce the release of the latest version of our software product. This release comes with a host of new features and improvements that will enhance the users experience.
Feature improvements
We have made the following improvements to our software to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.
New profile design
As you know we have released a new profile design. Read more about that in our knowledge base here :
Fortnox timesheet export of project codes
We have now added functionality for the Fortnox integration to also contain project codes in the timesheet integration.
Project codes will be included in the timesheet export together with the reported hours if:
There is a project defined on a timesheet
There is a code connected to that project
PE Integration allowing for multiple PE companies
We have improved our integration towards PE Accounting so that it allows for customers to have multiple companies in PE Accounting and integrate that into one single Alexis HR Account.
When you create new users in Alexis and want to export them to PE Accounting you will now have the option to select what company in PE Accounting they should be connected to.
Configuration
You configure multiple Integration connections from Settings → Integrations → Integrate with PE Accounting
Export of new employees with multiple PE accounts
If you have multiple PE accounts and you have a new user in Alexis that you want to export to PE Accounting you need to decide the specific company that this user should be exported and “connected” to.
When doing an export from People → Export/Import → Alexis you are presented with a single select option to choose what company to export to.
Import of employees from multiple PE accounts
When importing from multiple PE Accounting accounts we will import from all of the companies that has an Integration connection. No choice is needed to choose from since the goal is to have all your employees within one instance of Alexis HR even if they are in multiple instances in PE Accounting.
Payroll report moved to Manage time
A small change to have all the payroll related items in the same place, we are looking over the menu even more moving forward so keep an eye out for that in the coming release notes.
Possibility to customize payroll report on organisation
This change will allow for customization of the payroll file to either include all employees (as before and this is chosen by default) or to only include employees that belongs to an organization.
No other changes are made to the output of the payroll report.
Organization is defined under People → selected Employee → Profile → Work
Leave type codes available through the API
With the added possibility for leave type codes we have now added them to the public API so that they can be retrieved and used for integrations to other HRIS systems if needed.
The leave type codes are added as a relation to the leave type and thus retrieved with adding
?relations=leaveTypeCode
So the request would be:
https://api.test-alexishr.com/v1/leave-type/{id}?relations=leaveTypeCodeAnd the response will then be in relation to the response of the leave-type
API documentation can be found here:
SCIM API improvements
We have made an improvement to the SCIM API and added 5 new fields in the response for GET scim/v2/Users/.
This will allow for customers using The provisioning API (SCIM) to be able to retrieve some needed data that is not part of the SCIM standard but needed for integrations to the AIM or another HRIS.
New fields:
office
team
employment type
hire date
end date
This will be exported in a new extension schemas.
"urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:alexis:2.0:User": {
"office": "Brussels",
"team": [ "Peleton", "Jumbo Visma", "Alpecin–Deceuninck" ], "employmentType": "consultant",
"hireDate": "2023-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"endDate": null
},
Type added for Public API vs Provisioning API
We have added a new type definition for the Public API and the Provisioning API. This allows for creation of access tokens to be valid for both types or for either one.
Access tokens are created from Settings → Access tokens
Note:
Existing access tokens will have access to both to not break backwards compatibility.
An access token type can not be edited (edit only possible for Name & Description).
Bug Fixes
Resolved an issue with the employee profile where managers could not edit/delete notes for the employees reporting into them.
Resolved an issue where it was not possible to approve leaves in the Slack bot.
