Time DateSystem Updates
Update 870
15 June 2022
The availability matrix in HOPS has a new 'white stripe' added when a person is fully utilised.

A person is considered fully utilised when they have been allocated the number of turns they asked for or, if they indicated 'unlimited', when they have been allocated a turn on every day they are available.

This makes it easy to visually distinguish a 'Yes' that is able to be used (green) from a 'Yes' that can't be used as the person is already working their max amount (green with white stripe).

If all Ys are green/white, the max utilisation has been reached and therefore the best efficiency from the roster availability.

Update 693
20 November 2020
Further to Update 691, it has become apparent that permissions 403 and 404 were not moved across correctly. This would have resulted in some users not being able to view postal addresses where they previously could.

I have run the process again so everyone who used to have 091 has now been given 404 again (if they didn't already have it) and everyone who used to have 090 has now been given 403 again (if they didn't already have it).
Update 691
18 November 2020
The permissions for viewing user details have been separated out in order to facilitate more granular control over viewing different elements of a user's personal details.

Permission 091, to view user contact details on (and from) the railway staff list has been replaced with new permissions:
379 - view photos (existing)
404 - view postal address
398 - view email addresses
153 - view telephone numbers
399 - view DOBs

Everyone and every group who had 091 has been automatically allocated the new permissions that directly replace 091 so no action = no change.

Permission 090 (per department), to view user contact details on (and from) the department staff list has been replaced with new permissions:
378 - view photos (existing)
403 - view postal addresses
400 - view email addresses
154 - view telephone numbers
401 - view DOBs

In both cases, 405 - view HOPS User Account Details.

Everyone and every group who had 090 has been automatically allocated the new permissions that directly replace 090 so no action = no change.

The permissions for editing details will be separated out in future.

Also, the organisation staff list permissions no longer apply to the department staff lists. It used to be the case that if you had 'view contact details' for the org staff list, it automatically showed it all to you on all the dept staff lists as well. This no longer applies and the specific permissions for the department(s) are required. Everyone who used to have permissions for the org staff list now has the new equivalent permissions for 'all' depts so no action = no change.
Update 404
27 October 2016
A new permission 251 is available to allow users to see a summary of Group Bookings information on the Daily Operations page but without being able to drill down into all the detail visible by permission 180.

This might be appropriate for guards or station staff, etc.
