Help Feedback pop-up
The online help now includes a built-in Feedback pop-up window, allowing users to submit comments from a
convenient location.
For more information, see the "Provide Feedback" help topic.
Scheduling
Fill Open Shift With Push Notification
From the Call List, managers can now send push notifications to multiple employees to inform them about
available open shifts. Based on the configuration, employees can receive the open shift notifications on their
4
mobile phones if the Kronos App is installed and in the Control Center.
In the Call List, managers can either select individuals from the list of eligible employees to send the notification
or they can choose Offer All to send notifications to all eligible employees. Customized messages can optionally
be included in the notifications.
Employees can see information about the open shift when the notification displays on their phone and can accept
or decline the open shift directly in the notification.
Managers receive notifications when employees respond to the open shift request, and can also view an audit
trail of the outcomes using the new Call Log that is available in the Schedule Planner.
For more information, see the Administration > Application Setup > Scheduler Setup > Configure Call Lists help
topic.
5
Timekeeping
Manage Timecards Tile
The Exception tile, also known as the Manage Timecards tile, provides a way for
managers to easily review and manage exceptions for multiple employees before
approving timecards. Exceptions are grouped into categories. Each category
appears as a slat on the tile and includes information, such as the number and types
of exceptions, and actions managers can take to mark exceptions as reviewed,
approve timecards, and view timecards.
For more information, see the "Tile Library" help topic.
6
Proactive Compliance: Overtime Alerts and Notifications
You can configure alerts to notify managers and employees when they are approaching overtime, when
overtime has been reached, and when an employee has an upcoming required meal-break.
Alerts are configured using Timekeeping Alert types:
l Overtime Approaching – Create an alert to notify employees and managers when overtime is approaching
or when an employee has an upcoming required meal-break. This alert is based on the specified overtime
rule. Also specify the number of hours before overtime is reached that the manager or employee receives
the alert notification.
l Overtime Reached – Create an alert to notify employees and managers when overtime has been reached.
This alert is based on the specified overtime rule.
Notifications appear in the Control Center, and can be configured for email and push notifications.
The following pre-configured notifications are available for selection when configuring Timekeeping Alert types:
l For Overtime Approaching, Manager notified – Emp Approaching OT and Employee notified –
Approaching OT
l For Overtime Reached, Manager notified – Emp Reached OT and Employee notified – Emp Reached OT
l For Meal-Break Notification, Manager notified – Emp Approaching Meal Break and Employee notified -
Approaching Meal Break

You can also use the new custom tags Hours Before and Overtime Rule if you are creating your own generic
workflow notification. These can be found in the Timekeeping Group when creating or editing generic workflow
notifications.
For more information (including a workflow overview), see the "Proactive compliance: overtime alerts and
notifications" section in the "Overtimes" help topic.

To control the results that appear in the improved
transfer panel, administrators can configure
transfer display profiles for employees and
managers and assign them to display profiles. The
transfer display profile allows you to configure the
business structure types that display in the transfer
panel. For example, a user has access to the
following jobs on the business structure:
l Region 1/District 1/Store 101/Department
A/Sub-Department A/Sales Associate
l Region 1/District 1/Store 201/Department
A/Sub-Department A/Sales Associate
In the transfer display profile, the following types
are selected:
l Site (includes Store 101 and Store 201)
l Department (includes Department A)
l Sub-Department (includes Sub-Department
A)
When the user performs a business structure
transfer, the locations and jobs are filtered based
on the types in their transfer display profile, so the
following locations and jobs are available for
transfer:

General components
The Workforce Dimensions user interface contains a number of elements and controls. Accessibility
recommendations include the following:
l Glances — Press the spacebar on a cell within timecard, Dataviews, leave and attendance, and scheduling
to access a glance. You can use this option as an alternative to navigating from the action bar above the
grid.
l Grids — When navigating through the grids, press the up-arrow key when in the first cell in the first row
followed by Shift + Tab to exit the grid so you can access other components.
l Slide-out panels — For the best results with NVDA, access form elements and activate secondary slide-out
panels, tab through the slide-out panels in focus mode and access read-only content in browse mode.
Note that in some slide-out panels, using the Tab key (instead of arrow keys) to navigate through a list is the
only way to select one or more options. Also, some radio buttons and check boxes can only be accessed
using the Tab key, which will automatically populate the selection.
o Combo boxes — Some combo boxes within slide-out panels can only be opened using the Enter key
and options can be selected by using arrow or tab keys and pressing Enter to collapse the list.
o Check boxes — You can navigate some check boxes and radio buttons by pressing either the Tab or
arrow keys and using space to select and unselect options on slide-out panels.
l Hyperfind — When selecting locations in a Hyperfind, press the left arrow when focused on the drop-down
list to delete a selection.
l Drop-down menus — On some drop down menus, there is a column header that is announced as a button
when using NVDA; however, this is not an actionable element.
46
l Press Tab to access the options list and use arrow keys and press Enter to select and collapse the
accordion.
l Press Tab to access the Cancel and Apply buttons and press space or Enter to modify a Dataview.
Note: There might be only one filter type on some Refine panels. The Delete button clears the last filter
applied; this is not announced by NVDA.
Information access
When tabbing through the column headers of the Dataview Library, the submenus contain options that can sort
or calculate. When you select the sum or average options, the result appears on the column header title area.
Press Shift + Tab to access this information.
Note: NVDA may announce currency and time as it is displayed on the screen along with the column
header title to indicate amount designation.
Scheduling
The View button, which is located on the My Information > My Calendar and Calendar from the Scheduling
page, can be activated only with the Enter key and tabbing to navigate to the view options.
For optimum NVDA or keyboard results, access schedules in table view by pressing space or Enter on the Table
View button
Note: The current view is not announced when using NVDA. If the button for switching views says "table
view," the inaccessible Gantt view is currently being displayed. Press space on this button to display the
accessible table view; the button will say "Gantt view."
When tabbing through the week day column heads within the Schedule Planner grid, tabbing leads to the first
shift within the table instead of the first column or check boxes or the second column of employee names. Use
the left arrow to access this information.
When you are in the employee name column, press the left arrow to select or unselect all rows. Pressing the right
arrow navigates back to the employee name column header and submenu.
When activating the Quick Action button, press Shift + Tab to navigate to the first option in the list that appears
to the left of this button.

Note: The Quick Actions menu and application to schedule shifts is not currently recommended when
using NVDA. Using the glance menus while in the Schedule Planner grid accomplishes the same tasks.
When accessing events and requests in My Calendar or the calendar in general, the events and requests
sometimes display the hour amount before the information and the hour amount after the actual event/request
content. If using NVDA, these hour totals may be announced as times.
Notes: There are two buttons that can be selected. One button contains the shift duration and the
other button contains details about the shift. Tab to OK to escape out of the Shift details button to
return to the Select Shift slideout panel.
7. Select a shift by pressing space on the Shift Duration button. A secondary panel opens that contains a
Comment button and a listing of available shifts to swap. There is also a drop down to select specific
employees.
8. Press space on the desired Shift Duration button to automatically place focus on the Submit button and
then press Enter. A slideout panel containing the details of the request is displayed. You can cancel by
pressing Enter on the Cancel Request button or you can confirm the request by pressing the OK button,
which closes the slideout panel
9. The employee whose shift was selected will see a notification in the Control Center where it can be
approved or refused.
Note: Press Cancel or Escape at any time during the request process to close out of this panel.

53
Scheduling
WFD-99148 Intermittently, a schedule became unusable after editing a shift; the schedule showed an empty
schedule at the bottom, and when scrolling up the display was incorrect (shifts overlapping with
other shifts). Refreshing did not resolve this.
WFD-11492 A Hyperfind used in Integrations was failing with the following error:
"Error: Error An error occurred in the application. Please contact System Administrator."
The Hyperfind was used in the Data Extraction Toolkit, which ran twice per day and extracted

WFD-8157 When the Forecast Labor engine ran and submitted a batch job that failed, it was not notified that
the batch task failed and so remained running.
60
WFD-10662 An attempt to Save and Add Jobs from the Labor Forecast Limits menu resulted in the system
hanging in a pop-up window that lists available jobs.
Information Access
WFD-10773 When users attempted to open the Dataview named "Labor Percent - By Day", no data was
returned and the following warning was displayed:
"Information Data within Data Up-to-date, Forecasted Sales, Projected Labor Percent and 4
more columns cannot be retrieved. Contact your system administrator."
WFD-10704 The Node.js process crashed abruptly on a production tenant while it was servicing a
/ia/dataviews/csv call. The "302 Found" error was misleading and did not describe the real issue.
WFD-10672 (This issue was resolved for a Workforce Dimensions R6 update. See the Resolved Issues in the
R6 Update Summary for details.)
WFD-10558 (This issue was resolved for a Workforce Dimensions R6 update. See the Resolved Issues in the

Integration Hub
-97334, The Boomi Connector did not properly write details to the transaction assistant when the
-11019 /v1/scheduling/schedule/multi_update API failed. The transaction type was set to "Unassigned" when it should
have been set to "Schedules".
WFD-10861 The Integration Run Details did not separate multiple messages by line breaks.
WFD-10639 The results of integration runs that were initiated from APIs had errors when default parameters
were not specified. Now, the errors are resolved, and the behavior is the same when the
integrations are run from APIs, from the user interface, or are scheduled.
WFD-10326 Scheduled integrations showed invalid dates after users edited the Start Date or End Date.
WFD-10121 For errors in Schedule Import integration runs, the Transaction Assistant did not show employee
IDs in the ID column.
62
WFD-9568 If the Process Mode in Boomi was set to to Low Latency, instead of General, the integration failed
to connect to extension table and reported the following error: Unexpected error executing

java.net.SocketPermission to the database server host and port that you wish to connect to.
WFD-9415 Intermittently the Person Import integrations were returning the following error in Transaction
Assistant: "Unknown error occurred. Please contact system administrator Cannot be processed
through Transaction Assistant."
WFD-8151 If number parameter types were set without a default value when users installed an integration,
they could schedule the integration runs without entering these values. However if they edited the
schedule, these number parameters without a default value would change to a value of zero (0)
instead of remaining blank (empty).
WFD-8080 The Integration Run Details did not display parameters whose values were selected from a drop-
down menu rather than entered as text or selected by a Hyperfind.
WFD-9039 Various columns in a Dataview were missing data until multiple Analytics historical loads were
run.
WFD-8973 When an employee was deleted, the status of its pending events did not change, regardless of the
completion of event processing.
WFD-7782 (This issue was resolved for a Workforce Dimensions R6 update. See the Resolved Issues in the

WFD-10903 (This issue was resolved for a Workforce Dimensions R6 update. See the Resolved Issues in the
R6 Update Summary for details.)
WFD-10867 The echo statement in the start-up script for the birt service was stating "Stopping BirtHub" where
it should have stated "Starting BirtHub."
WFD-10853 Users could not access EVL tenants outside of the Kronos network. They were receiving a "403
Forbidden" message.
WFD-10718 The employee names, that were listed in Workflow notifications that were generated from a
Hyperfind query, were listed in no apparent order in the notification Email sent to managers, even
though they were listed in alphabetical order in the original Hyperfind results.
WFD-10749 Some notification emails were not getting delivered, and one reason was due to a limitation of
64
1,000 recipients per batch. As a result, SMTPPostalMessenger has been updated to send
email notifications in batches with fewer that 1,000 recipients.
WFD-10743 High CPU usage was seen on an HTTP server due to too many open files.
WFD-10631 The WFDA Overtime Trend - Department report failed with the following error:

68
WFD-7413 The French translations of "Download" and "Upload" in the Table References section of
Maintenance > Integrations were incorrect.
WFD-7195 When a link was created to select paycodes from the standard report parameters of paycodes, the
report failed to return data.
Scheduling
WFD-10945 The following System Setting (Administration > Application Setup >System Configuration >
System Settings > Global) is no longer used and has been removed:
global.WtkScheduler.hoursBelongTo — Scheduled hours belong to day. Day actually
worked will split hours across midnight day divide.
WFD-10926 When finding eligible employees for overnight shifts, the Call List was not taking into account the
employees' availability after the day divide, which resulted in employees who matched the
Procedure Set criteria not being returned as eligible for the shift.
WFD-10896 Items that were not implemented in Workforce Dimensions were showing as options in Function
Access Profiles.
WFD-10759 When the Staffing by Zone and the Staffing Plan by Zone reports were run, employee shifts and
open shifts from 7:00pm -7:30am were missing from the 7pm-11pm zone span and the 11pm-
7am zone span.
WFD-10697 In Application Setup > Common Setup > Published Reports, the WeeklyCoverageReport /

82
“Error The timecard cannot be signed off because it contains one or more violations: Unexcused
Absences.”
WFD-10805 One particular employee was consistently excluded from totalization, even after being
resubmitted.
WFD-10788 When an attestation transaction was performed at a device, some information that did not impact
the transaction was included in the log.
WFD-10708 When the system generated 'On Call' paycode was in the timecard, the on-call hours contributed
to the Daily & Period totals. Now there is a system setting
(site.timekeeping.includeOnCallHoursInDailyTotalsOnTimecard) to control if
the hours are included in the daily totals.
WFD-10706 For employees that worked over their scheduled time, many times the “On premise” dataview
listed the employees as no longer on-premise even when they were still on-premise and working.

timecard, rather than receiving a permissions error, they were redirected to a “Not Authorized”
page and immediately logged out of the system.
WFD-10496 In the timecard, some Long Break and Short Break exceptions appeared as Reviewed but the
manager had not yet marked the exceptions as reviewed.
WFD-10495 The calculation for a cascading paycode did not use the correct rate (as specified in the
employee’s adjustment rule) and therefore was not accurate.

category transfer in the timecard.
WFD-10208 Pending historical corrections were made to an employee’s timecard in a locked payroll timeframe
after edits were enabled from a Dataview.
WFD-10196 When attempting to update triggers for a percent allocation rule, upon save errors appeared and
job and location assignments were removed.
WFD-10144 An employee was sent to the “Totals Calculation - Excluded Employees” list and therefore not
totalizing, causing sign-off issues. When an attempt was made to sign-off or remove sign-off from
the timecard, the following message appeared:
“Previous Sign Off not yet completed”.
WFD-10152 When using Attestation with "Location Data" enabled, the following error appeared when
attempting to approve a timecard:

was encounter during CT Call.”
87
WFD-9886 The Move Accrual Balances—Multiple Employees (POST
/v1/timekeeping/accruals/moves) API operation understands time in terms of minutes,
not decimal values, and in situations where the passed decimal value of the accrual move amount
does not correspond precisely to a minute value, the passed value is rounded down to the nearest
decimal that corresponds to a minute. However, the API response was incorrectly returning the
decimal value passed in the request body, not the rounded-down value actually processed by the
system. The response body now correctly returns the rounded value, as appropriate.
WFD-9851 Wage information displayed in the Audit tab of the timecard, even though the user’s function
access control point for Wages was set to None for Edit and View.
WFD-9849 In the timecard, on a specific date, the applied fixed rule was the most recent fixed rule instead of
the appropriately effective dated rule that should have been used for the day.
WFD-9827 The source for some pending historical corrections that appeared automatically in the timecard
could not be determined. The timecard Audits tab did not contain any historical corrections that
matched the dates or paycodes and the People Information history did not have any recent
changes.
WFD-9824 In the timecard, when manually adding a duration paycode, the work rule transfer configured in
