What’s New in Tanda – January 2019
In Product Updates by Brooke Royston | January 22, 2019 ∙ 5 min read
This January many new features have been released to help you better plan, execute and review shifts.
Auto-approval of shifts on timesheets
Approving shifts just got faster! Shifts without variances can now be automatically approved to save managers time when checking and approving timesheets. ⚡️
A shift can be auto-approved when the rostered times match the clocked times. Shifts with variances won’t be auto-approved, and any auto-approved shift can be adjusted.

Break Editor in My Tanda
When employees clock multiple breaks you can specify which of those breaks were paid and unpaid.
Custom Events and Blackout periods
You can now add custom events to your schedule to help cater for demand and communicate blackout periods to your staff. Events can be flagged as a ‘blackout’ to discourage staff from applying for time-off on that day.
Gain actionable insights from staff with Shift Feedback
Have you ever found it difficult to gain honest, actionable feedback from front-line staff? With Shift Feedback you can collect actionable insights from your staff to improve daily operations and employee engagement.
How Shift Feedback works:
- Staff submit feedback through their Tanda mobile app
