What's New in Traqspera 2024 R2

The 2024 R2 release of Traqspera introduces the ability to delete pay periods that do not contain timesheets. This release is available as of 3/6/24.

New Features

Timesheets

You can now delete pay periods that do not contain any timesheets.

Update Company Logo & login background images

Added new settings that allow you to change the logo and background image that display on your login page, and the logo used on your daily reports and LEM reports.

  • Uploaded images must be in .png format.

  • Images will be resized for optimal display.

Improvements

Job Sync Enhancements

New Spectrum sync version can opted into which better follows the Spectrum phase code cost types, rather than needing to explicitly set these across all phase codes within Traqspera:

  1. Configure the phase code / cost type combinations to import/allow on the new Spectrum Phase Code / Cost Type White List page (Settings menu).

  2. Enable the new Use Phase Code / Cost Type White List setting to import only those phase code / cost type combinations that you specified.

    Note: Leave this setting off to import only those phase codes that are mapped to a time entry type (Labor, Equipment, or Expense) on the Spectrum Cost Type / Phase Type page.

As part of the job sync improvements, the following changes were made to optimize performance:

  • On the web, timesheets now load only those phase codes that were opened on or before the selected date, or phase codes with phase code types that were opened or closed on the selected date.

  • On the mobile application, timesheets now load only phase codes / sub job types that were opened as of the beginning of the time period.

General

Updated the Support contact information that displays at the bottom of all pages for the new Trimble Viewpoint Support process.

Mobile

Added a new Safety Reports navigation to the main navigation page, allowing field users to access safety reports directly from the mobile application.

Settings

  • New global search field in the side panel allows you to search for any setting or permission in the system (minimum of three characters required to search).

  • New Open All Sections / Close All Sections option added to settings and permissions pages with multiple subsections.

  • New Add All / Remove All option added to subsections.

  • The dispatch status code C is now included by default in the Work Order Closure Mapping.

Timesheets

You can now require second-level timesheet approval by enabling the new setting: Approval Mode: 2 Level Approval - Strict. When this setting is enabled, time entries must receive second-level approval before they can show with a status of Approved or be exported to Spectrum.

Timesheet Summary

Improved filtering so that users with multiple roles have full access to their approvals.

Changed the Shift Exceptions filter (for Kiosk users) to Filter by Exceptions (available to all users).
