What’s New in ActivityTimeline Cloud
Stay ahead with the latest updates to cloud version. Explore new features, improvements, and fixes that enhance functionality and streamline your experience.
Key Highlights:
Added a new configuration option to enable or disable approval for custom events: You can now control approval requirements for the following event types — BOOKING, DAY_OFF, PLACEHOLDER, and VACATION.
Previously, approval was mandatory only for VACATION events and couldn’t be turned off. With this update, you have the flexibility to decide whether approval is needed for each event type, based on your team’s workflow.
You can control approval in Configurations → Events → Manage → Requires Approval Setting
Added an approval filter to the Issue Panel, allowing for a quicker overview of bookings, placeholders, and vacations pending approval.
The filter remains hidden by default and only becomes visible when ‘Apply Filters to Timelines’ is enabled
Introduced visual indicator for users with “No Access” role: A “✖️” emoji is now displayed next to the names of users with the “No Access” role on ActivityTimeline administration pages.
Extended the functionality of Positions in ActivityTimeline: Now, users can group Timesheets by Position, allowing for more structured reporting and better visibility into how time is spent across different roles within the organization.
Position option is available under Group by and Data in Custom Grouping tab
Introduced a new setting that allows Team Leads to add and remove users from their own teams.
Navigate to AT Configurations → Advanced Settings
Extended Team Lead permissions to enable searching by Skills and Positions within the Planner.
Added a hint on the Refresh Users page to guide admins through the process.
Default User Group Update: ActivityTimeline now loads users by default from a new Jira group:
jira-users-<INSTANCE_NAME>.
Custom Precision in Timesheets: Added support for two custom functionalities:
EXTRA_WORKLOGS_PRECISION and EXTRA2_WORKLOGS_PRECISION, allowing display of 3 or 4 decimal places in tracked timesheets for greater accuracy.
Enhanced report accuracy and reliability.
Improved system stability.
