Release notes for Peoplance, newest first.
[1.16.0] - 2026-11-08
What’s new
- Finance, recruitment and Vector now have focused overviews with useful work queues, linked totals and shared dashboard controls. Dashboard alerts take you to the work that needs attention.
- HR can record leave for employees to review, propose changes or cancellation, send reminders and resolve questions. Employees see the effect on their balance and attendance before acknowledging; managers can raise concerns with HR.
- Payroll gains configurable earning periods, salary corrections and arrears, payment and release controls, and a shared payslip designer. Optional tax and provident-fund settings retain your saved choices.
- Teams can choose each person’s standup project and whether an update is required. Optional updates still retain the time worked, and announcement pictures are shared together in Slack.
- Content Managers can create and rename blog tags while publishing, with separately assignable permissions.
Improvements
Lists have consistent search, filters, result counts and pagination, with clearer loading and retry feedback. On smaller screens, key details and Open controls stay within reach; financial values keep their existing PIN protection.
The marketing navigation now aligns with the page content on wide screens.
Live attendance distinguishes working, paused and unfinished days. Availability calendars use your organization’s working week and clearly explain holidays and approved requests.
Shared upload controls offer consistent previews and clearer file limits. Profile photos can be replaced directly from the profile header.
Forms, tables, dialogs, notifications and payroll screens are more consistent, with improved keyboard controls and accessible feedback.
Employment details preserve job family, level and self-managed settings; departments can mark job levels as not applicable.
Sign-in and session recovery are more reliable, and dashboards retain useful data while retrying failed requests.
[1.15.0] - 2026-11-02
What’s new
- Make Peoplance fit your organization. Organization settings now cover your working days and the day your week starts, language and region, currency, financial year and data-protection rules, and every date, number and amount follows them.
- Forms & modules: switch modules on or off, rename or hide fields on the person and payroll forms, rename “employee” and “department” to your own words, add your own fields to people, candidates and clients, and reword, hide or add the choices people pick from, such as religion, relations and education level.
- Leave types are yours to manage. In Settings, Organization, Leave types you can create, edit and retire leave types, choose who can take each one, set festivals and what a type can’t follow, or start from a template. A new Time off tab sets who approves work from home, how many days people can work from home without approval, and the undo window.
- Payroll is built from lines. One editor for the salary split and one for additions and deductions, each limited to employment types if you need it. Income tax can use slabs, monthly or cumulative, and every payslip line has your own name.
- Document numbers and codes for invoices, purchase orders, people and assets follow patterns you set, and you can keep a list of named tax rates.
- Application questions. Ask every candidate the same questions on every posting, add questions to a single posting, or skip the shared ones. The public application form and the candidate page follow them.
- National ID, phone numbers and bank details follow your country: the right label, format and example, one PDF for the ID, and the bank branch code your country uses.
- Privacy, cookies and terms pages come from the text your organization publishes, with a starter version for your data-protection regime that you can edit.
- Access is simpler. CRM and blog review are now ordinary roles (CRM Viewer, CRM Member, CRM Administrator and Blog Reviewer), so they appear in a person’s access summary and can have a scope and an end date. The Product access tab is gone.
- Requests and allowances can use the same conditions as leave types, such as gender, tenure, department, location and probation.
- The Help center now has pages for Organization, Integrations and Payroll settings, and a Docs link from the marketing site.
Changed
- Amounts, dates and times follow your organization’s currency, language, time zone and week start instead of fixed defaults.
- Payroll settings, Slack, Email and Manage access pages are split into tabs.
- List rows open their detail when you click them, with secondary actions on the detail page.
- Client, supplier, job posting and draft payroll run pages can be deleted, and blog posts can be edited, submitted for review and deleted from their page.
[1.14.0] - 2026-10-24
What’s new
- Casual leave has an emergency option. If something came up that couldn’t wait, tick “This is an emergency” and you can apply for today without the usual notice. Your approver and HR will see it.
- The add and edit person page is easier to move around. The steps run across the top, fields are grouped under headings, and Employment shows a career timeline of roles, previous employers and education that you can open and edit.
- Create your own roles. In Roles & Permissions, the new Roles tab lets administrators build a role from scratch or copy an existing one, choose exactly what it can do, and change or remove it later. Built-in roles stay as they are and can be copied.
- The new Org structure page keeps your departments, job families and levels in one place. A level can have an experience range, and anything still in use can be deactivated instead of deleted.
- Salary bands are now a simple grid: choose a job family and set the range for each level.
- On a person’s employment details, pick their job family and we suggest the salary band that fits their experience.
- My Profile has a Health & sensitive information card. Only you can give consent and add your blood group, religion or medical information, and you can withdraw consent any time.
- Allowance rules can count the years someone has been here or their whole career, and recurring allowances can follow the same rules.
- People who report to nobody can be marked self-managed. They need no manager, their attendance comes from the day they track, and standups are optional for them.
- Administrators can choose when Slack standup reminders go out, or turn them off, from the Slack integration page.
- Receipts open in a preview right on the request instead of a new tab.
Changed
- Amounts on payroll and allowance pages now use your organization’s currency.
- Your standup hours and your tracked day are now the same thing. If the tracked time is off, fix it on the standup page and it updates everywhere. Where you worked is one choice for the whole day.
- Standup hours are easier to work with: each time range folds away, breaks between ranges show up on their own, and “Office” or “Remote” is one choice for the whole day.
- Writing your standup opens a roomy focus view, and the Submit button stays off until you have written something. A note on the page reminds you that tracking your day from the dashboard is the most accurate way to record time.
- HR can no longer enter or edit someone’s blood group, religion or medical information. They can see it only once the person has given consent.
- Pages that keep unsaved changes show a bar at the bottom, and long dropdowns are searchable.
- Standups, requests and the dashboard fit small screens better, and “Needs attention” fades between alerts.
[1.13.0] - 2026-10-23
What’s new
- Your day card lets you say where you’re working from. Pick Office or Remote before you start your day, and switch any time while you work or pause. It no longer depends on an approved work-from-home request.
- The card shows how long your break is while you’re paused and how long your last break was after you resume. The new info icon opens “Today’s times”, with each stretch you worked and each break, and the totals.
- Come back after a break or a day ended more than 30 minutes ago and you get a friendly welcome back.
- Standups: if you tracked your day, the working hours step offers “Use tracked time”, so you don’t have to type your hours again.
- Standups are simpler: pick a date, add your working hours and write one update. A character counter shows the 10,000 limit, and Save can’t be double-clicked. Copy standup now includes the date and your working hours.
- Employment tab: add your previous employers, with an optional reference and experience letter for each. Fresh graduates just leave “Fresh graduate” ticked.
- The Documents tab has separate uploads for the front and the back of your National ID.
- Birthdays on the dashboard show for tomorrow and for the day itself, with a friendlier message.
Fixed
- Refreshing a page while signed in no longer flashes the Peoplance website before the app appears.
- A standup that fails to save shows one clear message beside Save instead of two.
Removed
- Standup working hours are no longer filled in from your Start day and End day tracking automatically. Use “Use tracked time” instead.
- The single Experience Letter upload on Documents. Add experience letters per employer under Previous employment.
- Team standups no longer shows blocker counts, task counts or a day rating.
[1.12.1] - 2026-10-19
What’s new
- Wording is now consistent across the app. Messages that something went wrong say “Couldn’t …” and tell you to try again, success messages are short and end cleanly, and you sign in and sign out everywhere instead of logging in and out.
- Titles, buttons, tabs and form labels all use sentence case, for example “Add client” and “Apply for leave”.
- Form checks such as “First name is required.” now end with a full stop, and when the server can’t be reached or you’re sending too many requests, the message says so plainly instead of showing technical text.
- When something fails, the message now leads with what went wrong and gives the advice underneath, instead of showing a generic “Error”.
Fixed
- A sent Vector email no longer shows a warning, and counts such as “2 payslips” and “1 contact” are spelled out instead of “payslip(s)” and “contact(s)”.
- A message that told you a profile ID was missing now tells you to save the profile first.
[1.12.0] - 2026-10-19
What’s new
- Announcements are now a feed. Posts show who wrote them, when, a photo grid you can open full screen, and emoji reactions. Hover over a post, or press and hold on a phone, to react; tap your own reaction again to remove it, and tap “Who reacted” to see names.
- When you post an announcement you can attach up to 4 photos (PNG, JPEG or WebP). Large photos are shrunk for you before they upload.
- New announcements and their photos are posted to the company Slack announcements channel. The form tells you which channel it will go to, or warns you if Slack isn’t connected.
- The Peoplance website loads much faster on phones.
- Your sign-in token is now only ever sent to Peoplance’s own servers, and the app tells your browser to always use a secure connection.
- Recruitment: you can sort the Candidates list by name, job, stage or date, and there is an Onboarding tab. Each stage tab now includes every candidate in that part of the process, so nobody is hidden from the tabs.
- Recruitment: Extend offer now asks you to confirm before it emails the candidate. When you move several candidates at once, you are only offered stages they can all reach, hired and rejected candidates can’t be selected, and you are told if anyone was skipped. A job posting’s applicants list works the same way as the Candidates list.
- Recruitment: if a candidate email fails to send, Failed emails says why in plain words and, on a phone, shows each one as a card with its Resend button.
- Candidates see their progress as Application received, Shortlisted, Assessment, Interviews, Offer, Onboarding and Welcome aboard, without the individual interview rounds, and they confirm before accepting an offer.
Fixed
- On a phone, candidate names on the Candidates list were cut to two letters, and the Resend button on Failed emails was off screen.
- A rejected candidate’s page no longer shows a progress bar with every step empty, and the Assessment tab no longer says “Not submitted yet” for candidates who are already past the assessment.
- The schedule interview window now links straight to the job’s Hiring team when no interviewer has been added.
- Assessments read “1 criterion” instead of “1 criteria”, and the New assessment form is easier to use with a keyboard.
[1.11.0] - 2026-10-17
What’s new
- Slack standup reminders are on a new schedule. The team channel gets a morning note at 10 AM and an afternoon check-in at 4 PM. At 7 PM and again at 10 PM, anyone who hasn’t submitted today’s standup gets a private message. People on leave, on a public holiday, or already done are skipped.
- Each department can have its own Slack channel. When someone starts or ends their day on the dashboard, their department’s channel shows it. Administrators pick the channels under Settings → Integrations → Slack → Department channels.
- Slack messages are shorter and clearer. Dates read like “16 Oct” and every message has one tidy link to open the right page in Peoplance.
- On the standup form, working hours that come from your dashboard tracking say so. If you type hours by hand, a note reminds you that manual hours will be switched off soon, so please use Start day, Pause and End day on the dashboard.
- On phones, Alerts has its own button in the bottom bar. It shows how many you haven’t read and opens your notifications right above the bar.
- Settings → Integrations → Email now shows all four kinds of email in one place. Ones without their own account say “Uses General”, with a button to set up a separate one, and the buttons on each card are easier to find.
- The Peoplance website shows an Open dashboard button instead of Sign in when you’re already signed in.
- The Peoplance website is easier to find and share. Each page now has its own title and description in search results, and links shared on social media or in chat show a proper preview image.
- AI assistants and search tools can read what Peoplance does, including answers to common questions, even when they can’t run the page like a browser.
Fixed
- Text on the Peoplance website is readable in every section, whichever colour theme or dark mode you use in the app.
Important
- Peoplance is moving to app.peoplance.com. Your sign-in and the app will live there, while www.peoplance.com stays the public website. Old links keep working and take you to the right place.
[1.10.0] - 2026-10-16
What’s new
- On phones, Peoplance now has a navigation bar floating at the bottom of the screen with Home, Workspace, Requests and More, plus a search button. Search finds pages and people, just like on a computer, and More opens everything else, your profile and sign out. The menu button at the top has gone.
- On phones, Needs attention on your dashboard is shorter, showing just the title and what to do, and Customize sits beside the heading as an icon.
- Administrators can set up how Peoplance sends email under Settings → Integrations → Email. Different kinds of email can use their own account: General, HR and recruitment, Finance and Payroll. Anything without its own account uses General. You can send a test email, turn an account on or off, and keep the HR, finance, payroll, support and privacy addresses in one place.
- Project settings and the Slack channel for a project now open right where you are, from the Projects list or from a project’s page.
- You can copy the public application link for a job posting, and a candidate’s portal link, from their pages.
- Uploads are checked before they are sent. Resumes and assessment files must be 5 MB or smaller, and the form tells you straight away if a file is too large or the wrong type.
- Error messages are clearer when something goes wrong, with the specific field to fix instead of a general failure.
- Your workspace now opens at
/dashboard. Old/appbookmarks still work.
Fixed
- The sign-in page looks tidier on phones.
- The public application page scrolls properly.
- Choosing the same file again after an upload error now works.
Important
- This release requires PeopleX API 4.0.0. Email stops being configured through server settings, so before or right after deploying, an administrator must add the SMTP account under Integrations → Email, or no email, including sign-in codes, will be sent.
- The HR inbox, support email, privacy contact and sender name moved from Organization settings to Integrations → Email.
[1.9.0] - 2026-10-15
What’s new
- Needs attention now shows the most urgent things waiting on you, with a direct action on each: your standups, documents to sign, leave requests, annual leave about to lapse, missing profile or payroll details, projects without a Slack channel and blog posts to review. “View all alerts” opens the full list.
- People who manage records see what is missing on a person’s page, with a Fix button that opens the right form.
- A new Alerts & notifications tab on your profile lets you choose which optional alerts you see, whether you are notified in the app or by email, and how often you are reminded. Documents to sign are always shown.
- You can dismiss or snooze an alert that is not urgent. It comes back if it gets more urgent or after the snooze, and goes away on its own once the underlying issue is fixed.
Important
- This release requires PeopleX API 3.2.0. Administrators must apply its migrations before enabling the new alert settings. Notification delivery is switched on separately after the API is deployed.
[1.8.0] - 2026-10-14
What’s new
- Peoplance now has a public website covering the product, solutions, pricing, company and contact information.
- The signed-in PeopleX workspace now starts at
/app, while the root address opens the public homepage. - The Company page quote card remains clear and readable across supported themes.
[1.7.1] - 2026-10-13
Fixed
- Fixed a production loading failure that could leave the application on a blank page after the 1.7.0 deployment.
[1.7.0] - 2026-10-13
What’s new
- HR and finance teams can manage salary bands, see upcoming salary-review reminders and maintain employee pay from a central pay register.
- Migrating organizations can bring provident-fund opening balances and yearly allowance usage into PeopleX without recreating old payroll runs.
- Requests and claims now cover configurable forms, approval paths, receipts, recurring additions or deductions, reimbursements, fulfilment and manual payouts.
- Payslips, invoices and purchase orders now share one clean Innovaxel document style, with consistent typography, spacing, headers and the correct wordmark. The on-screen payslip preview matches the downloaded PDF more closely.
- Integrations are organized by platform. Slack shows its real authorization state and disables unavailable actions; Google Workspace has its own connection and directory-management experience.
- Organization branding and contact details can be managed centrally and are used on sign-in, legal, candidate, onboarding, email and PDF surfaces.
- Navigation sections are easier to recognize from the icon rail. Sections with several destinations open a focused secondary menu at the top and land on the first destination; single-page sections keep the workspace compact.
Important
- This release requires PeopleX API 3.1.0. Administrators must apply its migrations and permission seeds before enabling the new payroll, request and integration workflows.
[1.6.0] - 2026-10-11
What’s new
- Personalize PeopleX from Profile → Appearance with ten themes and System, Light or Dark mode. Your choice follows you between sessions and loads before the page appears.
- Start, pause, resume and end your work day from the dashboard. See this week’s hours beside your standups, and see who is currently working without exposing anyone’s worked time.
- Make the dashboard yours: show, hide, move and reorder the widgets available to you, including Your day, Who’s working, On leave today, Finance overview and Team overview.
- Stay up to date from the header notification bell. Leave and work-from-home requests and decisions, plus new announcements, now have read/unread controls, dismiss, load more and direct links to the relevant page.
- Find colleagues and pages faster with improved global search. It understands common terms, ranks page-name matches first, remembers recent destinations and shows useful suggestions before you type.
- Browse Departments in a two-pane directory with photo rosters and one search across names and job titles. Public Holidays is now available to everyone, with editing controls shown only to authorized people.
- People managers and HR staff get dedicated person pages with work history, direct reports, time off, assets and the sections they are allowed to see. Other colleagues continue to see a privacy-limited profile card.
- Manage access with scoped, time-limited role assignments, impact previews and clear access summaries. Roles & Permissions now reads its matrix directly from the API so it always reflects the real policy.
- Finance teams can configure invoice senders, bank details and reminders; issue, send, cancel and settle invoices; record payments and credit notes; schedule email delivery; and review receivables in the organization currency.
- Payroll now supports employment-type policies, employee-specific pay settings, income tax, extra-day adjustments, bank-transfer exports and provident-fund corrections or withdrawals.
- Recruitment, navigation, forms, tables, empty states and responsive layouts have been polished for a more consistent workspace, with broader automated UI coverage.
Important
- This release requires the matching PeopleX API 3.0.0 release for access management, notifications, colleague search, work-day tracking and the updated finance and payroll workflows.
[1.5.0] - 2026-10-09
What’s new
- Wrap up your day in one flow: log your hours, today’s progress and tomorrow’s plan step by step, or paste your update as free text. Drafts are saved as you go and start from your attendance and yesterday’s plan.
- Copy a saved standup with or without formatting, and see in the sidebar how many standups you still have to log this week.
- Team leads see who has submitted, who still needs to, and which standups raise blockers, and can remind everyone who is missing one.
- Work from home is now a request: say which hours you’ll be available and why, and your approver decides. Women can take two work-from-home days a month without notice or approval.
- Applying for leave is quicker. Pick one date, add an end date only if you need one, and the form starts on the first day your leave type allows and skips weekends and holidays that don’t count.
- Leave types that explain themselves, like bereavement or matrimonial leave, no longer ask for a reason; you can add a note if you want.
- Everything about a leave type (what it’s for, its rules and your balance) now sits in one panel beside the form, and problems appear next to the field they relate to.
- Annual and maternity leave must start and end on a working day; weekends only count when they fall between leave days.
- Managers can no longer approve their own leave requests, and the dashboard’s approval count now matches the list beneath it.
- The sign-in page has a new look, every page opens with the same title layout, and there is a new Terms & Conditions page.
[1.4.0] - 2026-10-07
What’s new
- Create and manage projects with clear ownership, team membership, dates, status and dedicated detail pages.
- Open a project by clicking its row, add members directly from the team section and keep management actions in one compact menu.
- Connect Slack in one step, choose notification and project channels by name, automatically match employees by work email and reconnect when permissions change.
- Slack settings now explain loading failures and unavailable channels instead of leaving destinations blank.
- Navigation search includes the new Projects and Integrations destinations, and text actions are easier to recognize throughout PeopleX.
[1.3.1] - 2026-10-07
What’s new
- PeopleX has a refreshed app layout with a cleaner sidebar, top bar and focused content area that keeps navigation in place while pages scroll.
