🎯 Release Overview

🚀 Detailed Release Notes

What’s new (defaults out of the box)

• User Types: Standard

• Business Units: General

• Departments: General

• Payment Frequency (Companies): Monthly

• Categories: General

• Subcategories: General

How it works

• Global + Company scope: These items exist globally for everyone. If you add company-specific versions (e.g., your own “Finance” department), they appear alongside the global ones in pickers and reports.

• Always available in dropdowns: When creating users, configuring payroll, or tagging spend, the app now shows both your company items and the global defaults so you can move immediately.

• Safe to override: You can rename, hide, or replace defaults with company-specific items at any time without affecting other companies.

Why this helps

• Faster onboarding: New tenants can run payroll and set up teams without a long configuration step.

• Cleaner data: Consistent starting values reduce one-off labels like “N/A” or “—”.

• Lower admin load: Fewer required fields to configure before first use.

Admin guidance

• Keep or customize: If Standard / General / Monthly match your processes, keep them. If not, add company-specific values (e.g., Hourly, Bi-weekly, Engineering, Contractor) and set those as your operational defaults.

• Subcategories: Start blank intentionally—create only what you actually need (e.g., under General create Equipment, Travel, etc.).

• Reporting impact: Global defaults appear in analytics just like company entries; filters let you separate them if desired.

Backward compatibility

• Existing companies are not changed. Defaults only fill gaps where no company-specific values exist.

• No impact on historical records.

FAQs

• Can we remove the global items? You can hide them from your day-to-day use by setting company-specific values and using those in forms and templates.

• Will this affect our payroll cadence? No—Monthly is only a starting point for new companies. Your current settings remain unchanged.
