Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time yet again for Infor’s first bi-annual release for the year: the 2026 April Cumulative Update (CU).
These CU releases bring a range of feature and functionality improvements to CloudSuite users across every functional area. But with many organizations focused on delivering services to their patients, citizens, and constituents, it can be tough to keep up, let alone know which updates are going to provide the most value to your team.
That’s where RPI Consultants comes in. This week, we’re dedicating each day to breaking down the key highlights from the April CU, one functional area at a time.
Our goal is simple: save you time, surface the improvements that matter most, and help you get more ROI out of your CloudSuite investment.
We’re kicking things off with Workforce Management (WFM).
Key WFM Updates from the 2026 April CU
The bulk of this release’s WFM improvements are concentrated in two applications: Multi-View Scheduler (MVS) and Time and Attendance (T&A).
MVS—Timed Save for Master Rotation and One Time Schedule:
The Master Rotation and One Time Schedule interfaces now include a Timed Save feature that automatically saves unsaved changes after a configurable period of user inactivity.
Anyone who has spent time building out a complex rotation only to lose their work to a timeout or accidental navigation knows exactly why this matters. This update adds a simple but meaningful safety net—keeping unsaved shifts and schedule changes from disappearing before a scheduler has a chance to lock them in.
MVS—Billboard Posting for Broadcasted Shifts:
Broadcasted shifts can now be posted to the billboard in the Open Shift Manager, giving employees an additional channel to claim open shifts they may have previously missed.
Filling open shifts quickly is a perennial challenge in healthcare and other shift-based environments. With the addition of broadcasted shifts on the billboard, organizations expand the window for employee response and reduce the risk of shifts going unfilled, without requiring manual follow-up from scheduling teams.
MVS—Rotation Publish Exceptions in Manage Schedule:
Schedulers can now view and acknowledge exceptions generated during the rotation process directly within Manage Schedule by clicking the Schedule Exception button. This allows teams to identify which shifts need special consideration before a rotation is finalized.
Rotation generation across large or complex workforces rarely goes off without a hitch. Having a structured way to surface and acknowledge exceptions, rather than discovering issues after the fact, gives schedulers the visibility they need to maintain schedule integrity.
MVS—Configurable Data Columns in Manage Schedule:
Data Columns in Manage Schedule can now be configured to surface business-specific metrics alongside schedule totals. This includes metrics on schedule attributes, absences, employee profile attributes, and custom hours and pay calculations.
Scheduling decisions are typically informed by a range of operational data. By bringing those metrics directly into the scheduling view, it greatly reduces the need to toggle between screens or pull separate reports, keeping schedulers focused and better equipped to make decisions in context.
T&A—Time Off Quota Feature in Time Off Manager:
The Time Off Manager now has a feature to set up time off quotas to manage the number of employees that can take specific time off for any given day.
Every organization has its own policies and preferences for how time off requests should be managed—whether that’s capping the number of employees out on a given day, protecting coverage thresholds by role, or enforcing blackout limits during peak periods. This new feature gives administrators the tools to set boundaries directly in Time Off Manager, so the system enforces the rules automatically rather than leaving supervisors to catch conflicts manually after requests have already been submitted.
T&A—Saved Operational Reports:
Users can now save operational reports for quicker access to the core reports they run most frequently.
It’s a small change but practical daily impact should not go unnoticed. For supervisors and administrators who run the same reports on a regular cadence, know that eliminating repetitive setup steps adds up. This addition helps keep the focus on reviewing data rather than configuring how to get to it.
T&A—New Daily View in Supervisor Summary:
The Supervisor Summary Timesheet received a new Daily view where shift supervisors can view hours broken down by day, groupings, and other related filters.
For supervisors managing large teams and extensive timesheet data, visibility matters. The new Daily view gives supervisors the flexibility to toggle between Weekly and Daily views, so when the weekly summary isn’t enough, they can drill down into a more granular look at hours worked across teams.
T&A—Hourly Duration for Partial Time Off Requests:
Users can now specify a duration in hours when submitting partial time off requests, providing greater flexibility for employees without fixed schedules or those who need to request time off in hourly increments.
Partial day time off has long been a pain point in systems that are built around fixed shift patterns. For organizations with flexible schedules or hourly workers, this update aligns the system more closely with how time off actually works in practice.
T&A—Expanded Employee Filtering in Quick Views:
Last but not least, Quick Views now support additional employee filtering options including Accrual Policy, Reader Groups, Skills, Employee Dates, and User Defined Fields.
The more precisely a supervisor can filter their view, the faster they can act on what they’re seeing. Expanding Quick Views filtering to include these additional dimensions gives supervisors a more targeted lens particularly useful in complex workforce environments where employee attributes vary widely.
