Bizman 2.26.0 focuses on improving notifications clarity, time data accuracy, daily UX efficiency, and delivering key upgrades to AI Insights and the Financial Center.
Enhancements & Improvements
Notification Enhancements – Announcements Logic
Logic gaps between Announcements and Notifications have been fully addressed.
What’s included:
- Proper logic flow between Announcements and the Notifications system
- Improved handling of updated announcements that were previously read
- Foundation in place for prioritization and categorization of Announcements
Updated system message:
“An announcement you previously read has been updated. Click here to view the latest changes.”
Fixed Position for “Start Timer” & “Create Task”
The Start New Timer and Create Task buttons are now permanently fixed at the top of the interface.
Impact:
- Faster access to core actions
- Reduced friction in time tracking and task creation
- Improved consistency across long-scroll pages
Export Improvements – Numeric Time Standardization
Time values across exports are now standardized and delivered in numeric formats, making them immediately usable for reporting and analysis.
Supported formats:
- HH:MM:SS (e.g. 00:15:15)
- Decimal hours (e.g. 0.2542)
Applied to:
- Timers → Active Timers (“Time Worked”)
- Timers → Work Logs (“Logged Time”)
- Timers → Attendance (“Time Worked”)
- Management → Validated Hours (“Logged Time”)
- Management → Attendance List (“Time Worked”)
Stats – User Daily View Cleanup
Future dates are now removed from the User Daily Statistics view when no entries exist.
Result:
- Cleaner, more relevant daily insights
- Reduced confusion when reviewing historical performance
Client Reactivation – Auto-disable Grace Period
Reactivated clients now benefit from a 14-day grace period before auto-disable rules apply.
Outcome:
- Prevents immediate re-disablement due to inactivity
- Aligns client behavior with existing user reactivation logic
Hotfixes & Stability Improvements
Worklog Editing After Timer Completion
Editing worklogs after stopping a timer now works consistently across all relevant areas.
Affected sections:
- Management → Validation Hours (Edit & Quick Edit)
- Client Dashboard → Summary Table
- Worklogs → Add, Update, and Merge
- Statistics → By Client
- Timers
One-way Login: Production → Staging
Environment switching has been improved:
- Switching from Production to Staging opens in a new tab
- 2FA is bypassed only when switching via the internal environment selector
- Direct access to Staging continues to require 2FA
Notification Icons Corrected
Icons in the Notifications Panel have been updated:
- Task Activity now displays the Bell icon
- Mentions now display the Conversation Bubble icon
- Applied to both modal and full-page views.
Client Rate Normalization
All clients with a rate of $0 (excluding BOH and Retainer clients) have been updated to the default rate of $10.
This ensures consistent billing logic and cleaner financial reporting.
