We’ve introduced two important improvements in the Job Employee Management section to make job coordination more accurate and flexible 👇

Restrict / Allow Logging

Job Coordinators can now disable time logging for specific employees without removing them from the job. This resolves past calculation inconsistencies caused by employee removals.

• Old behavior: Removing an employee from a job also deleted their logging access (causing data mismatch).
• New behavior: Coordinators can simply Restrict Logging to stop new log entries while keeping all past logs intact.

To re-enable access, use Allow Logging.

Restrict Logging→ Employee stays linked but cannot log new hours. Allow Logging→ Employee can log hours again.

Assign / Unassign Shadow

We’ve added a way to mark supporting team members as Shadows when a senior is handling client communication.

Assign as Shadow → Tag the junior assisting a senior in the project. Unassign Shadow → If accidentalu assigned as shadow then remove the shadow tag.

This helps track mentoring assignments and contribution clarity in shared projects.

What’s Changed?

Some users faced issues when trying to close a job that was still in In Review status. They had to extend the job first, which wasn’t ideal. Also previously, you could update all statuses including Closed, Cancelled, and Archived from the job detail sidebar.

To resolve this:

1) The status dropdown in the job detail sidebar now only allows the following transitions:

Draft

Backlog

To-Do

In Progress

In Review

2) To Close, Cancel, or Archive a job, you now need to go to the Edit Job screen.

New Flow Summary:

• You can still manage the main job progress statuses from the job detail sidebar.
• But if you're a JC and want to close, cancel, or archive a job, go to the Job Edit page and click on the 3 dots and make the change from there.
• Jobs in In Review can now be closed directly no need to extend first.
• Once a job is closed, its status becomes locked and can no longer be changed, if needs to be then raise a support ticket in the Everest.
• Remember one thing, if you are going to close the job and there are some unreviewed hours then you can not close the job, to review the hours no need to extend the job.

Finance Flow Adjustment:

• Until now, Nidhi (Finance) was creating jobs and changing the status from Draft → In Progress.
• Going forward, Nidhi (Finance) will create the job and only move it from Draft → Backlog.
• As a JC, you are responsible for changing the job status from Backlog → In Progress once the actual work begins.

This ensures better control and prevents unintended status transitions.

Let us know if you face any issues or need support!

You can now export timesheet data for any job within a selected date range.

To do this:

1. Navigate to the specific Job
2. Go to the Timesheet tab
3. Open the Employees screen
4. Click the Export button on the top right

📊 This will download an Excel file with day-wise logged hours and descriptions for each employee.

Give it a try and let us know your feedback or suggestions! 💬

Everest public channel will no longer be publicly available. We've rolled out a new module to streamline all our product announcements and improvements, simply check the **"What's New" ** button on your Everest home screen, it's now the go-to place for all feature releases and improvements.

Have suggestions or facing an issue? Please raise it via the Support module so our team can track and resolve it effectively.

We're making this channel private to avoid duplicate communications. Thanks for understanding and for being part of the journey! 🙌

Today marks a historic moment in Everest’s evolution. You can finally reset your password all by yourself.

No more Discord messages saying "Hey, I can't log in 😩" or sending smoke signals to the dev team. We’ve gifted you the power to:

• Click "Forgot Password"

• Receive an email like it's 2010 😜

• Set a new one

• And move on with your life 😎

We know. Truly revolutionary.

This update was carefully crafted for those who:

• Reuse the same password for everything (and still forget it) 🤣

• Accidentally get logged out after clearing cookies 🫣

• Blame the system when it’s clearly... them 😜

So go ahead and try forgetting it again. We’re ready for you.

We’ve made a major upgrade to the Needs Attention tab in the My Profile section of Everest. You can now view a comprehensive summary of everything that needs your attention across jobs and projects. See below what’s new in the Needs Attention Tab.

In Review Jobs

• View jobs currently marked as in review (if any)

Extended Jobs

• See all jobs extended beyond their original end date

• Includes details like:-- Days extended-- Last extended reason-- Project, coordinator, and utilisation insights

Fixed Jobs Exceeding Allocated Hours

• Spot any jobs that have gone beyond their allocated effort

• Displays consumed hours, exceeded hours, and the responsible PC/JC

Unreviewed Hours

• Split into two categories:-- As Job Coordinator-- As Project Coordinator

• Helps you review and approve timesheets that are still pending

• See job-wise logged, approved, unapproved, and unreviewed hours

• Data here is shown from 1st October 2024 onward 😅

• If your job is already closed and old hours are still showing here, please raise a ticket in the Support section to get those entries reviewed from the backend with proper details. 😜 This will help clear them from your list.

Team Allocation Summary

• Get a quick view of your team’s planned vs unavailable hours

• Shows who’s assigned to which projects, and their allocation status

In Progress Jobs Overview

• See a full list of all currently active jobs you are part of

Why This Matters

• This new view gives you a centralised dashboard of everything requiring your action, so you don’t miss pending approvals, overdue extensions, or capacity mismatches. It’s a big step toward proactive ownership of your project responsibilities.

To explore it, go to Organization → My Profile → Needs Attention

We’ve introduced a Support section in Everest where you can raise tickets for any kind of help or feedback related to the system.

What You Can Do:

• Raise a ticket for any issue, bug, suggestion, or system-related request
• Add details like title, description, and type (issue, improvement, etc.)
• Track your requests under the My Tickets tab
• View all tickets raised by others under the All Tickets tab
• Click on any ticket to see its Status, type, priority, assigned team member, full conversation, resolution history, and due date

What’s Changing:

• After some time, the Everest Discord channel will be made private
• You will no longer be able to report issues there
• From that point on, all support and feature requests must be raised via tickets
• We will also assign due dates to each ticket so you have clarity on when it’s expected to be resolved

This change is to ensure smoother tracking, faster response, and proper prioritisation of all support-related activities.

Please start using the Support section from the sidebar for all future queries or suggestions.

We’ve added a new Organization section in Everest where you can explore employee profiles and your own, too.

Organization Directory (Employee Listing)
