✏️ BridgeVMS Release: Back-to-School Edition
Sharpen those pencils, dust off the notebooks - summer’s over, but we’re still busy making BridgeVMS smarter, smoother, and a little more fun. Here’s what made the syllabus this time 👇
💬 What’s new?
- Timesheet document upload feature: Submit your timesheets with attachments! Users can now upload supporting documentation before submitting timesheets, as standard. Additionally timesheet approvers can also add supporting files when approving or disputing a timesheet. Just enable this in the Employer category settings under “Enable document upload upon approval/dispute” if you want to add this additional feature.
- Un-dispute timesheets: Made a mistake marking a timesheet as disputed? No detention here, you can now “un-dispute” it and send it back to “pending” status (as long as the candidate hasn’t already re-submitted).
- Edit compliance requirements on the job: You can now tailor compliance requirements directly in the job wizard or edit them later via the job “details” page (just hit the ✏️ next to compliance requirements). Don’t worry, the compliance requirements from the job template will still display as default when creating the job.
- Add compliance requirements to placements: Need a document after a candidate’s already started or been confirmed? You can now add post-confirmation compliance requirements directly to “active” placements. Simply click the “ellipsis” on the active placement and click “Add compliance document”.
- Compliance validation exemption on document types: We’ve added a new checkbox “Exempt from compliance validation” on document types and when adding a document requirement to a job template. Use this when a document type shouldn’t require MSP validation.
- Timesheet notes improvements: We tidied up timesheet notes: they now live in the activity log, complete with timestamps and aligned with other activity-based notes.
- Restricted workers improvements: Restricted workers in the restricted workers section now show their unique identifiers, making them easier to track.
- Mobile UI improvements: We’ve made some tweaks to certain areas of the mobile UI to make it look a little nicer and clearer for users. No more overlapping fields.
🐞 Bug Fixes & Optimisations:
Like a teacher with a red pen in hand, here’s what we corrected:
- Timesheets “pending” status – Default filters were too clingy. Now your searches won’t auto-stick to “pending.”
- Approved timesheets not generating for invoicing – Rare, but fixed. All approved timesheets now flow through as expected.
- Expense attachments stuck – Attachments now remove smoothly instead of getting stuck.
- Agency submission notes now visible to client users – Agency submission notes are now visible to client users.
- Job template history log – No more mislabelling. Added/removed qualifications now show correctly in history logs.
- Other smaller bug fixes – Quietly making the system run like a well-behaved classroom.
That’s it for now. More compliance upgrades are on the timetable, plus a bigger project is slowly coming to the boil behind the scenes.
