Therefore, we will be deprecating our Product support for Windows 10 32-bit and Ubuntu 20.xx by October 30th, 2024. This article shows how you can check if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit Windows operating system.

What does this mean?

We’re excited to announce a new feature in Time Doctor that will make it easier to manage your user accounts -  the ability to archive users and retain their data, instead of deleting them.

Essentially, you now have the power to maintain a clearer and more comprehensive data trail for a full two years.

Archiving a user is simple - simply go to the user list, select the user you want to archive, and click the “archive” icon.

Archived users can be shown in reports.

We've also added an option to permanently delete the data. To ensure you make the right choice for your needs, we encourage you to read about the differences between these two options and learn how to use them effectively here.

3. Enhanced Filter: Identify Multi-Group Members
   
   There is a new filter option within Settings / Users that enables you to easily identify users who are part of more than one group. This enhanced feature is designed to provide clarity on group membership, ensuring that each user is assigned to only one group. This precision is crucial for instances where group-level productivity ratings are preferred over company-wide ratings. This update simplifies user management and delivers a more refined perspective on productivity metrics.
   
   
   
   
4. Introducting Unlimited User Groups for All Plans!
   
   We are excited to announce a significant upgrade to our pricing plans: unlimited groups! Regardless of your plan, your organization is now empowered to establish as many user groups as required. This strategic enhancement will enable you to gain more profound and detailed insights as you segment your data. By providing unlimited user groups, we aim to give you greater flexibility and control in managing your team and extracting valuable information.
   
   
5. Updated User Page: Prioritize Unaccepted Invites
   
   We’ve made a recent enhancement to the User page. With this update, when you sort by the "Actions" column, users who have yet to accept invites will be prioritized and displayed at the top of the list. This adjustment allows for more efficient management and tracking of pending invitations, improving your overall user experience.
   
   
   
   
6. Enhanced Project Assignment Capabilities for Managers
   
   We're excited to announce an important update enhancing managerial controls. Previously, managers could only assign projects to groups under their supervision. We've now expanded this capability, enabling managers to assign projects directly to individual team members. This enhancement provides managers with increased flexibility in task allocation and more precise control over team workflow management.
   
   
7. Preventing Missteps: Improved Confirmation for Email Notification Removal
   
   We’ve made an upgrade to the Email Notifications page, created specifically to safeguard against unintentional errors. Now, when you choose to remove a notification, a confirmation pop-up will display the name of the notification set for deletion. This added layer of confirmation ensures the correct notification is removed, providing you with more control and confidence in your actions.
   
   
   
   
8. Enhanced Clarity for Reports
   
   We’ve made two small changes for a clearer and more user-friendly experience. Check these out:
   • Custom Export Report: Say goodbye to confusion! We have renamed the "Attendance" column to "Start & end times," ensuring a better understanding of your data.
   • Advanced Group Selection: Now you can effortlessly select members of all groups while excluding those without group affiliations. Enjoy precise data segmentation with ease.
