New Crew Manager Enhancements
Added Security Option to Allow Users to Edit Crew Mode Setting
What is changing:
ARCOS has added a security option to allow users to edit the Crew Mode Setting Release Callout Crew Members When Ending Allocations. Once enabled by a company administrator, users will have the option to enable the Edit functionality in the Security tab in the Sys Admin module.
The default will be disabled but enabling this security option allows customers who use the Crew Template when creating a Callout, to edit the option “Release callout crew members when ending allocations” in the Crew Mode Settings, accessed through the Gear icon.

All ARCOS Crew Manager customers who use Callout Crew Templates will receive this update.

Enhanced to Maintain New Callout Crew Assignment Record
What is changing:
ARCOS has enhanced Crew Manager by allowing employees to be moved at the assignment start PIT by breaking the Callout schedule and crew assignment when the Crew Mode Setting Release Callout Crew Members When Ending Allocations is unchecked.
The reassignment at the start time will now cause Callout crew assignments to be deleted, allowing the new assignment to be maintained. The deletion is recorded and used to prevent recreating the callout crew assignment due to changes such as auto-extend.
Reassigned members still affect the end time of the Callout and therefore may affect the PIT the crew is removed.
Who is involved:
All ARCOS Crew Manager customers who use Callout Crew Templates will receive this update.
What you need to do:
No further action is necessary to implement this change.

Removed Date Limits From Schedules API
What is changing:
ARCOS has removed the date limits from the Schedules endpoints and added pagination. The time span-based limit has been removed from the various GET Methods on the extraction of Schedules endpoints, such as /schedules/records, /schedules/shifts, /scheduled/employeeSchedules, and the parameter changedSince.
The dates are now handled as follows:
- If startTime and endTime are not given, they are defaulted: startTime = NOW, and endTime = NOW + 7 days for /employeeSchedules and /records, and to NOW+ 57 days for /shifts (existing logic).
- If startTime and endTime are given:
- if there is NO changed since, the range between them is limited to 15 days for /employeeSchedules and /records, and to 57 days for /shifts (this is existing logic)
- if there IS a changedSince, and the range between them is OVER 15 days for /employeeSchedules and /records, OR OVER 57 days for /shifts, then the changedSince cannot be earlier than 3 days in the past (this is new).
NOTE: If using the New SYNC Method there are 2 action values available: employeeSchedules and schedulesOnly.
A response header will indicate the number of result set pages that are available for the requested GET operation. Users can include a ‘page’ query parameter to specify the appropriate result set page to return. If not specified, the ‘page’ will default to 1.
Who is involved:
All ARCOS API customers with the /schedules endpoint will receive this update.
What you need to do:
No further action is necessary to implement this change.

Enhanced GET Extracts to Include Error Message

No further action is necessary to implement this change.
Enhanced Pagination to GET API Calls
What is changing:
ARCOS has enhanced GET calls to clarify results and include a message with the need to add a page in the parameter when over 5,000 results are returned. The default pagination of 1, if no page parameter is entered, has been removed.
This enhancement specifically includes the following requests:
- GET crews
- GET resources
- GET lodging

All ARCOS API customers will receive this update.
