Automatically download employees to Terminal Groups and Door Controllers on creation
Please make it automatic so that when you add an employee to Chronicle and define a terminal group or access group, the system downloads the employees straight away and no secondary action in terminal settings needs to be conducted. Save time, improve user experience, one less thing to do.
Employees on rest day
Can employees on “rest“ days be treated the same as employees that are on holiday/sick/absent and not show up on the fire report.
Accrual rule
Setting up of an 'Accrual rule' on the holiday system for employees to enable the non taking of holiday that has not been accrued. For example: standard holiday entitlement of 28 days per year that includes B/H allowance. Employee entitlement calculated on 28/12 months = 2.33 days per month allowance. Could there be a set a limit so that an employee cannot book any entitlement that they have not accrued. Or if they do it flags it so that admin have to agree it.
Should Chronicle Integrate with Wagestream (now Stream)?
We’re exploring whether Chronicle should integrate with Wagestream (now Stream) to support earned wage access (EWA). https://stream.co/en Stream allows employees to access a portion of earned wages before payday, based on worked hours. An integration could potentially: Allow real-time earnings data to flow from Chronicle to Stream Enable accurate earned wage calculations based on approved time records Improve employee financial wellbeing Support recruitment and retention in hourly workforces Add value in retail, hospitality and multi-site environments Key considerations: Demand from our customer base Integration complexity and ongoing support Commercial model (referral vs deep integration) Impact on payroll workflows Whether this strengthens our competitive positioning Questions for customers: Would access to earned wage solutions add value to your workforce? Is employee financial wellbeing a priority in your organisation? Would you expect this to be tightly integrated or optional? Are you already using Stream or another EWA provider? We’re gathering feedback before prioritising this on the roadmap. Please vote and comment with your thoughts.
Authorising Holidays in a Block
Hi When someone requests a block of holidays, ie 2 weeks, we have to authorise them one day at a time. If it goes onto 2 pages it doesn’t let us tick every box on both pages, we have to do one page then the other. It doesn’t sound like a huge problem, but it’s a pain. Can we please just see the whole period of holiday, and authorise it as one item. So we would see the start and end dates, plus the amount of hours (or days for those companies who have holiday entitlement by day) as one item to be authorised. Thank you
Outlook integration improvement suggestions
I really like the new outlook integration feature but I have a few suggestions. Can names carry across with the integration? We were hoping to use this feature to publish to the business who was on leave when, but currently it just shows as “Holiday - Chronicle” on everyone's calendars. using John Smith as the example, could this be modified to show “Holiday - John Smith” instead? Are there any plans to integrate rosters through outlook? We would like to be able to set up different email addresses so that it can integrate a team onto a roster - again for example my team would be registered with a secondary email address “john.smiths.team@mybusiness.co.uk” - and everyone with that secondary email address would have their roster assigned to that calendar integration. Thanks. James.

Enable bulk shift planning and updates directly from the attendance screen.
Would it be helpful for admins to have the ability to select multiple dates and employees within the attendance view to amend or assign shifts in bulk? This could significantly streamline the shift planning process and reduce the number of steps required to make updates. Please see the example below for reference.
Under the Absence code is it possible to have different Absences different colors for example Authorized unpaid Absence Pink Paid Absence Light Blue Unpaid Unauthorized Absence Brown
This would only need to be on the Desk top for the manager to access
Override Holiday Threshold Limit.
If a threshold has been reach, admin should be offered the opportunity to allow additional employee to take leave. This should be available from the “Attendance” screen before the holiday is rejected. Currently admin has to go and change all the effected thresholds, allocate the holiday then change the threshold back. Not really an acceptable work around.
Facial Recognition Spot Check to include Clock Out
Hi, Currently we have the option for spot check for clock in, would be very useful for clock out too.
Due On Shift Colour Code - Filter on Attendance/ Live Data Screen
On behalf of a customer - have a filter to exclude or include employees scheduled to work
Automatic Reporting
Abilitiy to send a custom report via email with files type option date range of chosen data and tag selection. To also include frequence and day selection. Use of the tag feature to group users such as managers with the email 1 field.
Rejecting Holiday When Threshold Exceeded
On behalf of a customer - currently if someone books holiday that clashes with another employee’s holiday, the system will approve the days that don’t clash and reject the ones that do. It should reject the whole request.
Booking Holidays Either Side of Rest Days
On behalf of a Chronicle customer - we should be able to book holiday either side of a rest day without either getting an error or it taking the rest day out of holiday allowance.
