Novade Product Update for June 2021

 

New dashboard in Novade Reports shows worked hours and production ratios

Users of the Novade Reports module will be able to gain a comprehensive view of the worked hours and production ratios of an activity through a new dashboard. Available on web, this feature captures each activity and timecard data, enabling users to easily monitor productivity daily.

Improvements have also been made to the Activity table in Novade Reports. Users are now able to see all details of daily activities in a Gantt Chart. This latest enhancement will further increase efficiency as users are able to effortlessly visualise the start and end time, as well as the duration for each task.

In Novade Safety-HSE’s Observations, some of the terminologies have been modified to make clear the origin of the observation. Instead of Contributor, the term now used is Source to ensure explicitness that the observation is originated from that person/company and not to confuse it with the person/company reporting the issue.
