We've introduced time off policies to help you manage your team's vacation, sick days, and other time off that's scheduled in Float.

Each person's leave balance is displayed in real time as they are scheduling it, so your team will always know if they are over or under their allocation.

Additionally, your team's remaining balance, the days and hours that they've scheduled, and the total percentage of time off used are automatically tracked in your reports for quick and easy leave management.

We've added local time zone support for schedule and time tracking reminder emails sent from Float. You can set your time zone preference by clicking Settings > Notifications.

Team members can receive an email copy of their schedule at the start of their day (or week, depending on your settings) and a daily or weekly reminder to log their hours.

For distributed teams with members located across the globe, now everyone can stay in the loop on their own time!

In the coming weeks, we'll be simplifying the activity feed in Float and removing it from the mobile apps.

The activity feed will be relocating to the Team Settings page where the Account Owner and Admins can review their team's activity for the past 7 days in a new and easily digestible format.

The new Department Manager role gives your team more focused visibility and increased scheduling powers for their assigned departments in Float.

Department Managers can assign new tasks and time off to their department, manage their team's logged time, and invite new people to join Float.

Also new is the option to limit your team's view to multiple departments. For large, distributed teams, this helps deliver a more personalized view of the people and projects they need to see—and hides the ones they don't.
