In the April 2018 eStratEx update, there will be some big improvements made to our Report Library.
In response to some great feedback we’ve received from our clients, we’re improving the ease of reviewing and accessing the available reports. While there is a large selection of reports available in eStratEx, we understand it can sometimes be challenging to identify the ones most relevant to our clients’ business goals.
Therefore, to help improve our users’ experience with the eStratEx reports, the following improvements will be made to our Report Library with our upcoming update:
Improved Navigation and User Interface
We’ve added a helpful sidebar to quickly navigate between favorite reports, standard reports, custom reports, and year end/quarterly reports. In addition, we’ve included an “Add” button to allow the user to create a custom report from any of the report pages.
Expanded Descriptions
We’re now including descriptions for every report to help identify the ones users are looking for. The new search tool will now search not only for titles, but also for description keywords.
Improved Security Transparency
Before running any report, there is now a “View” option that will include a detailed description, as well as a list of employees who can access the report.
An Overall Improved Experience
Along with these changes, we have reviewed the standard report library selection and made a number of changes to simplify the user experience. While we’ve added to the library and renamed a few reports, we have also removed some reports that were either redundant or were no longer relevant. If there was information available in a removed report that cannot be found in other reports, our clients can reach out to the Service Team with those details.
Here is a detailed list of reports that have been added, removed or renamed to improve the Report Library experience:

We’re excited to share these updates with our clients to keep their eStratEx reporting experience as useful and time-saving as possible.
Pay History
To help ensure this doesn’t happen, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for admin users to authorize locations for punch. This can now be done directly from the punch page itself!
