WaspTime 5.3.0 Patch

WaspTime 5.3.0 - January 8, 2007 (Server: 3.3.0 Database: 5.2.0.0 Client: 5.3.0)
NOTE: This patch requires you to update each client and the server machine before the clients will connect to the server.

1. Fixed a bug in JobTrack that caused the punches to fail to post sometimes. The symptoms included punches taking a very long time to process or the client sometimes showing (not responding) or punches downloaded but not posted to JobTracking or WaspTime timecards.
2. Fixed an issue in the JobTrack rules that was causing slow calculation performance. JobTrack punch processing is faster.
3. Fixed a problem in the Groups where the Weekly Overtime Hours and Weekly Overtime 2 Hours were not saving the decimal portion of the input value.
4. Fixed a problem causing some incorrect log and user messages. Some startup error messages will now be more descriptive.
5. Raw Timecard Report - Added a timecard report that shows time for the exact dates specified instead of the pay period that includes the specified dates. This report does not have totals because we can not provide accurate totals for dates that do not match the specified pay period.
6. Fixed a problem where inactive QuickBooks Payroll Codes (Items), and Employees where being imported from QuickBooks.
7. Fixed a bug causing the employee and group grids to load slower and slower over time. Clicking the Clear Grid Settings button from the System Setup -> Options fixed the problem temporarily. It is fixed permanently in this patch.
8. Semi-Monthly pay period users no longer have the problem where pay periods with more weeks than the previous pay period do not properly display all days. This problem would cause the last partial week in the pay period to be absent in the timecards window. It did not effect payroll but prevented manual editing.
9. Semi-Monthly pay period users can now use the previous pay period button to see all pay periods. This bug was causing the timecards window to display no grid when the previous week button was pressed. This also caused a crash sometimes when clicking next employee. This bug did not effect payroll it just made manual editing impossible for previous pay periods.
10. The serial number is now automatically populated into the registration page when the link to activate is pressed.
11. The number of days allowed for the trial / demo evaluation was increased to 30
12. The FRED (Fingerprint Reader Enrollment Device) can now be installed and used on Vista. The driver must be installed separately from the CD \E100 Directory. Run setup.exe.

NOTE: It has been noted that Semi-Monthly pay period reports need some changes. These changes are being made but did not make it into this patch. The Raw Timecard report did make it into this patch and there are more to come. The others will be released soon. Thank you for your patience on this issue.

WaspTime 5.2.1 Patch

WaspTime 5.2.1 Patch addresses the following issues:
1) Reports will now pick up your default printer settings and try to use them despite the settings sent to them.
2) Scheduling a download from all clocks now properly reports success.
3) Deleting or archiving employees then reusing their badge number no longer causes problems when processing punches.
4) Schedule Override now properly allows you to set the override back to the group schedule time.
5) Grid settings are cleared when each patch is installed to avoid errors in grids after a patch.
6) Biometric Utility - Added progress meters so you can see progress of clock updates.
7) Biometric Utility - Deleting users from the clock will no longer delete the user from the database. You must delete users from the first Biometric Utility before updating clocks to get the utility to delete the user.
8) Biometric Utility - After you use the clock option Clear All Data the next time you use the Biometric Utility it will push all the data back to the clock.
9) Biometric Utility - The Update Clock window no longer closes after one clock is updated.
10) Fixed a problem in the Wage Report when trying to run the report including weeks that have no time the rate and wage would be 0 even if some of the days had time.
11) Some punches were not getting processed as soon as they were downloaded from the clocks. This issue has been fixed. The punches were processed on the next download.
12) Fixed a problem causing payroll Codes that were numeric only to get exported in the payroll export incorrectly.
13) Added a button in Settings -> Options to reset the grids to defaults. For instance if you hide columns on the employee grid, you can use this button to put them back. This button causes all client users to be reset.
14) Added an option to the Settings -> Options to turn off the automatic check for updates when the program starts. This setting is set for each user.
15) Fixed a bug that caused manual punches to be deleted under some conditions when new punches were downloaded.
16) ** Fixed a problem calculating overnight boundaries that was causing punches outside the overnight schedule to be placed on the wrong day. If you were asked to put in schedule times even on days that your employees did not work you can now remove them.
17) Fixed an issue that allowed more than 24 hours to be recorded when absence time and overnight rules were involved.

NOTE: In the Biometric Utility the update clock window only updates one clock at a time. You must select each clock from the list one at a time and update each one.

Known Issues: The FRED for the Biometric Clock system will not install on Vista. You can use it on any other supported operating system. We hope to have a working Vista driver soon.

WaspTime 5.2 Patch

***** WaspTime Enterprise is now available. This version is installed on your existing SQL Server and will then allow as many concurrent connections as your server is licensed for. The current WaspTime Pro allows 5 concurrent connections. Upgrade licenses and conversion instructions from www.waspbarcode.com.

WaspTime 5.2 Patch addresses the following issues:
1) PCPunch now properly searches for the Time Server if it is not found.
2) The bio-utility properly detects the presence of a FRED when it first opens.
3) When exporting payroll to QuickBooks, WaspTime will now show a useful warning if QuickBooks is not set up to take payroll export or if an employee is not set up to take payroll export.
4) The payroll summary report properly sorts by employee name.
5) PCPunch properly displays the In / Out status of the employee.
6) For new installs, the clocks are now set up to allow auto-polling on install. For existing installs go to Clocks->Options->Server Settings and change Auto Polling to True.
7) Documentation updates were made to remove some incorrect information carried over from WaspTime 4.
8) Fixed a problem when installing on a drive other than C:
9) Failed logins no longer add the name of the last person who failed to log in to the title bar.
10) Custom payroll export now exports time for all the selected days. Note: California overtime will not total properly if partial weeks are exported.
11) The Birthday list and Anniversary list reports now show all the employees that are active and who do not have a termination date.
12) Fixed a bug in restore database.
13) Fixed additional misspellings and grammar errors.
14) Semi-Monthly pay period now properly calculates if the end of the second pay period is on the last day of the month.
15) The Overtime and Incomplete Timecard reports now allow entry of a date range.
16) The employee demographics report now shows all active employees.
17) The text on the report list now properly reflects the actions of the Active check box.
18) All reports that show Wage or hours now properly handle the "California And" overtime method. This means the reports may not total if you add up the columns and rows but the totals are correct.

WaspTime 5.1 Patch

WaspTime 5.1 Patch is now available. This patch has some critical fixes in it that you need for proper operation of WaspTime. Install the patch on every machine that has a WaspTime, JobTrack, PCPunch or BioUtility client and on the machine with the Time Server.
** Bugs that were fixed that may effect payroll totals.

WaspTime 5.1 Patch addresses the following issues:
1) Fixed the problem preventing reports from printing from the timecard print button.
2) ***** Free Enhancement: The Pro version now allows more than 5 manager licenses to be installed. Only 5 managers or admins can be logged into the application at one time. Additional Admin/Manager licenses may be purchased separately in packs of 5 or 1.
3) When using the Logout menu option the user is now removed from the list of logged in employees freeing that license and allowing another person to log in.
4) Several small user interface issues like formatting, wrong labels on grids and incorrect or incomplete wording have been corrected.
5) Fixed a problem where timecard adjustments were showing up more than once in the adjustments list. They were only being applied once but recorded multiple times. This error did not effect actual time totals. To fix this for a past pay period you must force the pay period to recalculate by making a manual change to each timecard, downloading a time for each employee or making a change to a group and applying that change to the pay period.
6) * Fixed a problem with overtime override introduced in v5.0.0 that caused the group overtime all and none settings to be ignored for any pay period where the overtime override window was opened and saved. The next time the pay period is calculated after the 5.1 patch the totals will be correct. If the overtime override window was not opened and saved the override all settings should be fine.
7) Fixed a problem with the adjustments window where the adjustment time was reported incorrectly. The calculations were deducting the correct amounts but the adjustments window was displaying the incorrect amount.
8) * Unpaid absences were being subtracted from ADP and CSV payroll export regular time. This has been fixed but may have effected payroll exports.
9) * Fixed a problem with the schedules that may have caused times to get put on the wrong day. This would have been most pronounced for overnight shifts. After the patch no action is needed to fix times going forward but any old times that are incorrect must be manually fixed for each timecard. There is a script to repost punches if you have many. Call support for details on how to use this script.
10) Fixed a problem in the Process Holidays screen that incorrectly reported that a holiday on the first or last day of a pay period was not part of the pay period.
11) The Timecard report must report on whole weeks. If you input dates that are not exactly multiples of 7 the program will round up to the nearest week.
12) The Timecard report is now sorted by last name, first name, middle initial then employee number.
13) Fixed a bug preventing processing of reused badge numbers.
14) * Grace for Shift Out is now working properly.
