At Quartz, we’re committed to making your everyday workflows smoother, faster, and more intuitive. Our latest release focuses on quality of life improvements – refinements designed not just to enhance existing features, but to directly respond to what our clients have told us they need.
From smarter timesheet management to expanded integrations and improved user controls, these updates are all about removing friction and unlocking more value from your contractor management tools.
Explore what’s new and how it can support your team’s productivity in this update.
Timesheet start day
Want timesheets to start on a specific day in a week?
Head to Organisation Settings and update the Start Day of the Week:
When clients are created, their Start Day of the Week will follow the Organisation Settings, and can be overridden if desired:
When assignments are created, the timesheet Start Day follows the client settings, and can be overridden if desired (before any timesheets are created – once a timesheet exists, it can no longer be updated further):
Note – this change only affects weekly timesheet frequency assignments and does reflect in the timesheet chasers
Change Supplier
When changing supplier for a contractor now, there is now a pop up to decide how to handle the existing assignment (which affects unbatched timesheets and expenses):
When Select Manually is chosen,
The previous and current suppliers will be shown at the top left corner of the screen:
The assignments with unbatched timesheets and expenses are listed, and clicking on the view icon shows the timesheet details:
There is the option keep the previous supplier, on the rightmost column, once the assignments are all reviewed and the toggled as relevant, the Confirm and Proceed button at the bottom right corner will update all the assignments according to the toggle status:
Note – the default pagination is 10 (so only 10 assignments are shown), if there are more assignments, please update the pagination as necessary before clicking Confirm and Proceed
