New In-house Available Substitutes report

School districts using the in-house substitute feature can enable the parameter in the menu path: Parameters – Employee – Browser Access – Support in-house filling feature to access a new report titled In-house Available Substitutes in the Reports list.

This report displays a list of all available in-house substitutes based on their availability, ensuring they are not assigned to other jobs and do not have absences during the selected time.

Note:
The in-house substitute feature applies to employees with dual roles (both employee and substitute). These employees can be assigned to in-house substitute jobs when they are available or do not have a scheduled assignment during that time.

Parameters – Administrators – Browser Access

Improvement

Administrators with the employee role can use the new employee web interface

Administrators with the employee role can switch from the legacy employee web interface to the new employee experience.

A new parameter has been added in the menu path: Parameters – Administrators – Browser Access – Allow switching to the new employee web experience.

When enabled, administrators with the employee role will see a New Employee Experience option in the top-right menu, allowing them to access newer features available only in the updated interface.

To return to the Admin view, users can select the profile icon (blue circle with their initial) and choose Switch to Admin.

Job Search – Filter

Improvement

Additional filtering of available jobs based on the times of the day

Substitutes can filter jobs for specific days using a defined time range. From the Date filter, users can enter start and end times to view jobs within their preferred time window.

This time-based filtering is currently available on the substitute web interface and will be available on the substitute mobile app in a future release.

Profile – Employee – Schedule

Ability to edit block period schedules for Administrators
