Workbench Release Notes
Beta Release 4.6.
Scheduled Release - 13 March 2023
New Features
Enhancements to the Work Centre picker:
The suggestion of possible Work Centres values to be selected on all data entry screens has been enhanced so a list of valid values displays as soon as the user clicks on the field. It has changed from requiring 2 or 3 digits (depending on the screen) being entered for the system to display a suggested list, to now not requiring any digits for the user to get a list of values to select.
Administration
Application Access:
Controlled user access to data imports with new permissions:
Data imports now have a permission to control access to each specific data import option. There is one generic permission that gives a user access to Run All Imports, or each individual permission can be selected if more appropriate.
The General role, which is a ‘Global' role defined by Workbench (and a role that is applied to all users in Workbench) includes this new 'Run All Imports’ permission so no action is required by Administrators unless access to specific imports is to be removed now that this is possible.Improved navigation on Roles screen:
A practical collapse/expand feature has been added
to the Role maintenance screen which assists the administrator when maintaining the roles and their permissions included.
A new Details filter option.
Included column can now be ticked to include/exclude the filtered selection.
Feature Revisions

AP Vouchers - Payment Due Date:
The Due Payment Date of the AP Invoice can now be made available on the AP Voucher screen. To do this an Administrator needs to enable it from Grid Management.

EBA - new allowance Group options for a simplified setup:
New Allowance Groups are now available to make the configuration of EBA profile allowances easier. Weekday and Weekend, can now be used to generate allowances that are required for each day of the week worked or for each weekend day worked (Mon & Sat). Other Groups specific for each day can also be used in case there are day-specific rules (Groups can be added to the Lookups table: Monday, Tuesday, etc).
