February 2026 - Release Notes

We have released a new version of the Fiddletree HR Onboarding Package. Here’s what you can look forward to:

State Withholding Forms

Due to a recent Trimble update, State Forms have changed the way information is pushed to Vista. As a result, some states may have pushed an incorrect Filing Status to Vista. A Fiddletree Update has been released to correct this issue, which you can install by running the Fiddletree Updater. 

The following States have released their 2026 State Withholding Forms. You can access these forms by running the Fiddletree Updater. More State Withholding Forms will be available as states continue to release 2026 versions.

I-9 Documents Task

The I-9 Documents Upload task experienced a bug where employees could complete the task without attaching the required documents. A solution has been put in place, and employees are now required to attach either a List A or List B&C documents. This revised task can be installed by running the Fiddletree Updater. 

Resource Planning

We have been adding many enhancements to Resource Planning since the last release:

• Platform
  • Improved navigation for the "Admin" tab. The admin tab now opens a list of different Sections, which you can then expand to access the desired page. 
    
  • Added a setting to toggle if Job Notes should appear in notifications sent to employees
• Settings
  • New Setting: "Add Budget Code to Assignments and Add Total Hourly Rate fields to assignment" - If enabled, there will be dropdown under the Phase when creating an assignment where you can select which Budget Code to use for that Phase. This will also show the Total Hourly Rate for the employee, but this field will be obfuscated if you do not have Can View Sensitive permissions for Employees.

  • Admin > Job setup > Budget Groups - now allow for setup of default Labor Type, Positions, and Asset Categories (Rules engine in development)

  • New Admin > Organization > Setting: Do not restrict resources available based on Primary or Additional Categories on long term assignments
  • New Global Setting: "Dispatch Board assignments to use locked Job Dates or Phase Dates" - When disabled, assignments created through the dispatch board will be assigned for a length of time dependent on your Time Preset. The length of the assignment can then be edited by dragging the edges of the assignment bar. The length of time an assignment is created for depending on the Time Preset is as follows:
