Our promise to you is to continuously improve Laurel by building new features and enhancing your workflows.

These updates help to elevate the user journey, improve reliability, and result in a more streamlined and accurate timekeeping experience.

Here are the ones we think you should know about:

  • Minimum activity duration as a Timeline filter: You can now swap between activity duration filters on your Timeline view quickly and easily to understand your day.
  • Increased protection when entries don't meet validation rules: Laurel now disables the release day button when all entries within a day are considered invalid. This prevents any accidental submission of inaccurate data and ensures you can only release your time when all entries are correct.
  • Improved reliability for Daily Release States: Daily release states tell you which days require your attention; we have improved this by ensuring that when you have released all your entries, it will turn green - it'll change back to yellow if your billing system sends a rejection.
  • Pending entries factor into released totals: When you release your time, all pending entries will be considered and properly accounted for in the total hours released - unless they experience rejection.

In addition:

  • Laurel now opens on calendar view
  • Decimal places match up on the Recent Initiative Lists on Timeline and Timesheet
  • Increased robustness in merging and unmerging entries
  • The correct date shows when creating entries on past days
