The Feature Requests page allows you to submit your ideas for improvement, as well as vote and comment on those left by other users. Please get involved and help us to decide what to develop next!


Optional Clock In Notes

We're excited to announce a new feature for our employees: you can now leave an optional note when clocking in. This allows you to provide additional context, such as the reason for any lateness or other important information. These notes will be visible directly on the rota next to your specific shift, making it easier for managers and teams to stay informed. We hope this addition helps improve communication and streamline our scheduling process.


Change Rota Order

We’re pleased to announce a new update that allows you to change the order of users on the rota. You can now organise the schedule to suit your needs, such as placing managers at the top, followed by assistant managers, and then other employees. This added flexibility makes it easier to structure the rota in a way that best reflects your team’s hierarchy and improves overall clarity. Click here for a step by step guide on how to do this.


Custom Headings on the Cash Up Snapshot

We’re excited to introduce a new feature on the cash up snapshot: you can now create custom headings to replace the generic notes box. This enhancement allows you to tailor the information to better suit your needs, providing more clarity and making it easier to track important details specific to your cash up process. Click here to find out more.


Contract Shortcut

A "Create Contract" button has been added after adding a new employee. This feature simplifies the process of hiring staff and allows you to generate contracts with ease.


Manual Trust ID Verification

You can now manually submit an employee's Trust ID right to work check on Opsyte. To do so, ensure that the button is toggled off when hiring the staff member.

After adding the employee to Opsyte, go to their profile and click on the blue Trust ID menu. Then select "Complete Trust ID Manually on Opsyte."

From here, the manager can complete the verification process using the prompts from Trust ID. Uploading a "selfie" of an employee here is optional. If the manager decides to, Trust ID will check the likeness to any document provided. If the manager has chosen not to upload a selfie of the employee, the liability is on the manager to have confirmed the employee's documents match the individual.


Lieu Days

You can now add "Lieu" as a leave type on the rota. Although Opsyte does not calculate the monetary value of this leave, it will appear as "Lieu" in the payroll.


Half Day Unpaid Leave

We’re excited to announce that managers can now easily add half-day unpaid leave for employees in Opsyte! When selecting 'Unpaid Leave', you’ll notice a new option to toggle on: 'Book as Half a Day Off'. This allows for greater flexibility in managing leave requests.


Download Rota without Costs

You can now download a copy of the rota without the associated cost details. Simply select 'Download Without Costs' from the rota menu for a streamlined version.
