Please find the summary of our October Release (available in our portals on the first week of October):

### What's new?

##### **Recalculate Award Preferences**

No more reallocating and reconfirming workers on existing tickets so that the new award can be applied to them.

No need to submit the timesheet when updating the award and/or classification in the timesheet preferences. Save in the timesheet preferences pop-up, and your changes will be applied. You can access changes to the Timesheet Preferences and manage Shift Awards in the tickets History Log.***![](https://learn.alloc8.io/hubfs/Recalculate%20Award%20on%20Manage%20Shift%20Award%20pop-up-gif.gif)***

### What has been fixed and improved?

Our team is working hard. Next up...

Stay compliant! Explain missing or expired skills on Medium Lockout: Now, you can add a reason for operators missing or expired skills to ensure your worker's allocations are compliant. 

Warnings for vehicle operator allocations with missing or expired skills on Hard Lockout: A warning message will show you that you cannot allocate the vehicle operator with a missing or expired skill on Hard Lockout.

Time Zone Consistency: Use your primary branch time zone for your web date and time reference.
