Dimensions R7 Nears

According to UKG, the release will include new features, enhancements, Reports, Data Views, products, Integrations, APIs, and maintenance improvements.

New Branding Unveiled
Kronos and Ultimate Software revealed their unified branding this month. The merger makes UKG the largest cloud company in the world focused on human capital and workforce management.
Changes Include:
-
Email addresses are now UKG.com.
-
The company will continue to offer Workforce Dimensions, Workforce Ready, UltiPro HCM, and HR service delivery solutions.
-
Kronos-branded items will be fully transitioned to UKG over the next year and a half. Lead products will be getting visual and name changes, i.e., UKG Dimensions, UKG Ready, UKG Workforce Central.
-
The company's new website is UKG.com, but customers can still access product resources on Kronos.com.
A fun note: One Kronos community moderator answered a user's question about forthcoming changes with "As for the color palette, enjoy the orange while you can . . . I hope you like teal!"
For more, here's the full UKG FAQ. We will continue to cover any merger changes that impact Kronos/UKG customers.
Buh-Bye WFR Classic UI
Workforce Ready's (WFR) classic user experience for desktop and mobile was officially retired in September. While many folks have been using the new Workforce Ready's (WFR) interface for a while now, fans of the classic UI are looking at a cleaner, more user-friendly UI designed to enhance efficiency and reporting power.
Top UI Features:
readyConnect. This feature provides Kronos Admins with relevant WFR announcements such as product updates, release readiness, year-end activities, and more.
Dashboards. The WFR Dashboards make visualizing data and customizing views easy. Admins can configure dashboards to include widgets, charts, and graphs.
Favorites. Start items will now show up as Favorites in the new UI once configured and quickly take Admins to most-used profiles. Favorites are on the menu under the star icon.
There's a lot more to the new WFR interface you can explore in these resources: Improv's How to Optimize Your New UI and Kronos's New User Experience page.
