June 2025

Configurable time/date format

A new user setting has been added to provide choice over how dates and times are presented. The setting can be found on your profile page (accessible by clicking the user icon in the top-right corner of the application, and selecting My Profile).

The available time formats are:

• Friendly (default): Thu 05 Jun 2025 09:18
• Concise: 2025-06-05 09:18
• Concise with day: Thu 2025-06-05 09:18

Regardless of the format chosen, hovering on any time/date displayed in On-Call Optimizer will continue to show a detailed description of the time/date including the timezone.

Swap cancellation

Cancelled swap requests are now retained in On-Call Optimizer and can be viewed in their cancelled state - previously when cancelling a swap request it was immediately deleted leaving no trace in the application.

This means that clicking on a notification link for a swap that has since been cancelled no longer results in a page not found error!

Automatic cancellation

Swap requests where the shift being swapped is no longer assigned to the requesting member are now automatically cancelled. The requesting member will receive a notification when this occurs.

Bugfixes and minor changes

• Fixed display of calendar cells with many events. If more than 5 rows of events need to be displayed in any cell, a link to display a popup window showing the remaining events will appear at the bottom of the cell.
• Fixed time zone handling in the calendar to always use the configured time zone for the current user when grouping events into days.
• The red/green color used for block/preference display on the member availability calendar has been improved to a less saturated value more in keeping with the rest of the calendar event colors.
