Here's what's new:
Time Entry (US Only)
You can now enter and view time entries in precise HH:MM format, allowing times to appear exactly as entered across all screens. This update improves flexibility and ease of use for time entry and supports more consistent timecard submissions across teams.
Manage Default Coding
You can now update and manage default coding for labor and allowances directly within Hours+. The Deal Memo screen has also been refreshed with cleaner, modern layout to make updates easier and more intuitive.
Why it Matters:
This enhancement gives productions more control and flexibility when updating deal memo defaults, especially when making corrections or non-monetary changes after onboarding.
Helpful Resources:
Add Non-Employee Team Members from the Departments Screen
Workflow Admins can now add non-employee team members (accountants, department heads, etc.) directly from the Department Head selector on the Departments page, streamlining the process of assigning approvers.
How it Works:
- Navigate to the Manage Departments tab on the Project Setting page
- Locate the existing department you want to manage and click the three-dots under the Actions column
- Click the dropdown menu under the Head of Department column and select Create new non-employee
- Input the non-employee's details
- Click Send Invite
- The new non-employee team member will receive an invite to Hours+ and can create a MyCast&Crew account if they don’t have one yet
Why it Matters:
This is an enhancement to the Approval Workflow builder, further simplifying how productions onboard approvers. It removes friction from setup, ensuring approval chains stay accurate and complete from day one without support intervention.
