User Detail
When adding new User records, selecting an employee will default the first name, last name, and email.
The email invitation to give admin access is sent from Microsoft on behalf of Fiddletree Systems. Be sure to check junk or spam folders as it may be blocked by email filters.
These emails can be sent at a chosen local time.
Users can enable a feature ‘Notify on Import Failure’ that will send an email if there was a failure to import. This setting is Disabled by default.
When a user is notified by Invitation they will receive a text to confirm consent to SMS text messages and then receive a Magic Link that allows them to get Schedule Updates and Confirm their work schedules.
This information can also be accessed through Resources>Employees>Assignments
Users also have a column the gridlist with the option to put an Invitation checkbox so that admins know they have accepted the invitation
Employee Imports will automatically link users to Employee records.
The ‘Export’ button exports all User records and the data shown in the grid.

Status Maps:
Purpose: Shows employee time off requests and status of that request whether it be Approved, New, Declined, or Rejected.
Only Active Time Off statuses as ‘On Leave’ or ‘Committed’ are shown in Daily Scheduling.
If a Time Off request goes from Approved or New to Canceled or Declined, it will not remove the badge.
Status Maps now has the ability to view and edit Projection Calculation Mode. This means that when adding a new Status Map, users have the option to include Projection Calculations, or a View Only mode.

How-To: Select ‘Add New’ to create.



Change order statuses are also stored in Status Maps as Approved, Pending or Rejected and are added via Imports.
The system will assign the Change Order status to the Internal Status Type based on the Change Order Status IDs sent via Import / API.
How the Import Works
For Change Orders the software auto maps certain Status to internal codes.
For example, Each Status Code has an Internal Status Type and Meaning
Internal Status Types and Their Code Meanings:
approved
Change Order has been approved
A
Approved
rejected
Change order has been rejected
R
Rejected
Change order has been cancelled (treated as rejected)
C
Cancelled
pending
Change order is pending approval
Any other value
When a User goes to Jobsite>Change Orders they can see a gridlist of change orders for that specific job or add a new change order for that specific job. Read more about that, here: Jobsite>Change Orders
