Manager App v1.2.17

FEATURES & ENHANCEMENTS

Push Notifications - A push notification system delivers authorization requests directly to mobile devices, allowing managers to approve, deny, or dismiss alerts even when the application runs in the background. Tapping a notification opens the specific alert details immediately, while a red badge on the app icon ensures pending requests are never missed.
- Upon logging in, the application retrieves a rolling 12-hour history of alerts to ensure no background requests are missed.
- The alerts list automatically removes canceled authorization requests and older notifications to maintain a clean workspace.
- Signing out of the application completely clears all stored alerts and resets the notification badge for the next user.

View Employee Shift Data - A new Details view has been added to the Staff section, allowing managers to monitor comprehensive shift metrics for individual employee time entries, including net sales, labor costs, payment breakdowns, and average check details. These financial and operational figures update in real time as associated checks are closed, providing an accurate, live overview of staff performance.
No Records Filter Disabled - The filter option is disabled on the Staff screen when no timecards are available. A banner message informs users that there are no records to filter.
Real Time Staff Updates - The Staff Details View updates in real time across all devices when clock-in or break status changes are received from the POS.

User Interface Updates - The app has received a comprehensive interface redesign that streamlines Staff, Settings, Login, Checks, and Product Mix screens for enhanced daily operations. This update improves visual hierarchy across all screens through dynamic layouts, continuous scrolling blocks, and automated screen skips based on user permissions.
Last Active Tab on Login - The application now remembers the last active main tab used—such as Home, Checks, Staff, or Alerts—and opens directly to it upon login. This removes the need to wait for the main dashboard to load when navigating back to a preferred workspace.

Organization Picker Improvements - The Account screen now displays an error message if a user attempts to switch to an organization where they lack location authorization. Additionally, the login screen includes the organization name in the organization picker to provide clearer context during sign-in.
“Remember Me” on Login - The manager application login screen sets the "Remember Me" option to enabled by default to keep users signed in when the application runs in the background. Managers retain the ability to manually toggle this setting off if they prefer to require a full login for every session.
Location Selection - A drop-down menu at the top of supported screens allows users to quickly change their current location without changing the entire organization. Selecting a new location automatically updates the data across all screens in the application to streamline multi-location management.
Login Required After Restart - The system now enforces a fresh login after a restart to prevent app errors and broken sessions. Users must sign back in to ensure their account and location data load correctly.

Automatic Data Refresh - A setting has been added that allows managers to enable or disable automatic dashboard refreshes, which now run on an optimized five-minute background timer. When enabled, a notification prompts users before the refresh occurs so they can dismiss the update if they are currently reviewing critical data.
Dashboard UI Redesign - The dashboard features a major visual redesign that introduces a standardized text layout for titles and values, increased spacing between panels, streamlining section headers and reducing clutter.
Default $ vs % - The selected dashboard preference for viewing dollar amounts or percentages now saves automatically when the application closes. Upon reloading, the dashboard displays data in the last used format.
Sales by Order Type Design - The Sales by Order Type section features a redesigned doughnut chart with updated colors and simplified dot indicators in the legend. The legend has been moved to the side of the chart to optimize screen space, and a new expand option opens dedicated full-screen details.

Voided Checks Visibility - Voided checks now display their total amount in red with a strikethrough in the check list to quickly signal their status. This visual update aligns the display with the Web POS and Handheld terminal.
Improved Check Search - A new search and filter panel streamlines the process of locating checks by replacing the old filtering system with horizontal filter "chips" and a free-form search text field. Tapping a filter chip opens a bottom sheet with multi-select checkboxes and item counts, allowing users to easily refine the check list by specific criteria. In addition, the status filter list no longer displays "Cleared" as an option since those checks require a search under voided categories instead.
Order Type Visibility - The order type now displays prominently at the top of the check details panel for easier identification during service. To maintain a clean layout and prevent repetitive information, the redundant subtotal line has been removed from that section.

Additional product updates targeted at improving usability and customer experience.
