v1.394.5

New features

  • Live view
    • Support for navigating time ranges forth and back.
      • If the selected time aligns perfectly with a shift, the navigation picks previous / next shift

  • Activities
    • New option to only count uptime when using a time-based trigger (”Every X minutes”)
    • New option to count since completion of activity instead of from when it was issued. This applies both to time-based and production-based triggers (”Every X minutes” and “Every X produced”)
