A few updates in detail
SBS Audits - available now for SBS Budgets users!
It is finally here! We are happy to unveil the new audit trail. This is available against items in SBS Budgets and as a module from the SBS Online welcome screen. Users will now see a new module called SBS Audits.
In this module you will be able to see a myriad of actions in each individual planner, including when a contract is created, a budget entry is edited, and an inflation is updated. Within SBS Budgets there is also an Audits tab, to see individual changes to contracts, budget entries etc.
Two factor authentication - further improved security!
Included in the new welcome screen is an optional two factor authentication, selecting the username in the top right and clicking manage profile will take you to a new tab, click on two factor authentication and simply follow the prompts. Once done whenever you log into the SBS Online welcome screen, a code will be required from the authentication app.
Maternity calculation improvements
Maternity has been updated; a new table will now be available in your Budget Settings which includes the rebate values. For any staff on a single contract, this table will include the rebate calculations during the maternity period. If you have anyone with more than one contract or have any questions, please contact the Service Desk who will assist.
