Speeding Through Check-In and Headcount Setup
See why Check-In and Headcount setup now load instantly with a skeleton view instead of a blank screen.
What used to happen
Opening Check-In or Headcount setup used to show a blank screen while the underlying data loaded, which could leave you wondering whether the page had actually loaded or was still working.
What happens now
Both now load instantly with a loading skeleton, a placeholder outline of the page, while the real data fetches in the background, so you see the structure of the page right away and it fills in as the data arrives, instead of staring at an empty screen.
Best practice
If you're setting up Check-In or Headcount right before a service starts, don't wait for a fully blank screen to clear before assuming something's wrong, the skeleton means the page is already working, give it a moment to populate rather than refreshing.
