We are happy to announce an enhancement benefiting users punching via tablet or smartphone, as well as a fix for users punching via Apple devices running iOS 6. If you have any questions or comments, please contact your friendly support representative.
iOS 6 Accommodation: It has come to our attention that punches from Apple devices running iOS 6 are not transferring to the employee's timesheet. It turns out that with iOS 6, Apple broke the way AJAX works in certain instances. Specifically (and technically), iOS 6 is caching forms submitted via AJAX, and in so doing not sending the data to the browser. This is a significant oversight by Apple, and breaks a well known web standard of cache settings. We have since made changes to Spokeware to accommodate. Apologies to any who experienced issues as a result.
Dpunch In-Browser Keypad: For users punching in via smart phones, tablets, or other devices without an external keyboard, they are forced to use the touchscreen keyboard built into the device in order to enter their employee number and last four of SSN for punch. We have introduced functionality designed to recognize that a user is accessing via smart phone or tablet and provide an in-browser numerical keypad for those users to enter employee number and last four of SSN. This eliminates the need to click on the text field and make entries via the device keypad, but users can still do so if they prefer. Users punching in via PC will not have the in-browser keypad and will continue to punch as normal.
