Introduction

The list of features is as follows:

User Feedback Enhancements:
- OBS filter on Review & Approve/Timesheet List
- Open for Time Entry filter for Add Work in timesheets
The tasks which are not open for time entry are grayed out. It can be filtered if the user does not want to see it.
- Timesheets Notifications directly link to New UX timesheet
Whenever, a user gets the notification for timesheets, then he/she can directly go to the timesheet in new UX using the link provided.
- Option to display timesheet attestation alert upon timesheet submission
- Investment hierarchy multi-currency support extended to Export to Excel
This feature is quite straight forward to understand that the Investment hierarchy multi-currency support is now extended to Export to Excel
- The ‘peanut butter spread’ of hours in New UX timesheet
If the user enters time in total field of timesheet against a task, then it will be equally divided into the working days of that week. It used to be a feature in classic, only when we used to save the timesheet. In new UI it looks even better because of the auto save functionality in place.
Last part of the features will be the most interesting one, the Roadmapping enhancements.
