v2023.25 (12/14/2023)
NEW | Notify responsibilities about onboardings You now have the option to notify the responsibilities about onboardings. This can be done directly when the onboarding is created or when onboardings are changed. This way, tasks and the like are not only noticed when the email about due tasks is sent on Monday. For usage you have to do this In Onboarding in the tab Data, you can edit the conditions for onboardings. The option Notify Responsibilities about Onboarding can be activated. After the update, an information email is sent to the persons entered. Only changed or added responsibilities will be informed. Already selected responsibilities will not receive another email and removed responsibilities will not be notified of removal. E-mail to the responsibilities |
Better | Dashboard of tasks - recognizability of assignable tasks In the dashboard of tasks, you can now use icons to recognize when a task is an assignable task. In this case a paper plane with a fast-forward icon is displayed: . So you don't need to check these tasks to see if you need to do them manually. |
Better | Task package - Copy task templates When copying task templates , the copy is now provided with a corresponding note: "(Copy)" so that you can quickly recognize which template you are currently editing and whether the copying worked. |
Better | Correspondence and style sheets We have implemented the following improvements:
|
Better | Portal article - placeholder of the onboardees In portal articles you can now also insert placeholders that refer to the onboardees. For example salutation, first name, last name, date of birth, etc. This allows the portal articles to be made even more personal. |
Better | Tasks/task templates - sorting portal tasks The sorting of portal tasks is now alphabetical when creating a task or a task template. |
Better | Forms - Form fields We have changed the order of the elements in the input mask for the form fields so that they are easier to use. First comes the name and then the type. |
Better | Tasks that are finished automatically - Time For tasks that are finished automatically, the associated email will be sent and the task will be completed from 6 a.m. CET, regardless of whether it is summer or winter time. This means that recipients are no longer surprised to receive an email in the middle of the night. |
Fixed | Task template: Invite to employee portal - creating a copy If the task template for a portal invitation was copied, it became a normal task and could no longer be edited. This has been fixed and it now becomes an editable and automatically sendable portal task again. |

Better | Employee portal - welcome text and welcome banner We have changed the way the welcome text and welcome banner are maintained in the employee portal.
