v.2022.25 (12/15/2022)

In this sprint, we fully dedicated ourselves to the planned developments in the employee portal and accordingly did not implement any new features this time.


v2022.24 (12/01/2022)

Better

Notes to the appearance of a portal article

To make it clear when a selected portal article appears, we have added a note in the task and in the task template.

Fixed

Form fields with few letters

Form field names with less than 3 letters are now also accepted.
Example: A or IT


v2022.23 (11/17/2022)

NEW

What's next
We are currently working on major developments in the background.
You should definitely have a look in our What's next to get an idea what we are planning for the future!


v2022.22 (11/03/2022)

BetterStatistical data when deleting onboardings
Once an onboarding is completed, it is usually deleted from the system for data protection reasons. Until now, you have not had the option to decide whether you want to keep the statistical data of an oboarding to use it later for data analysis in your reports. Statistical data is not personal (e. g. Reason for hire, Task creation date, Task due date). Deleted onboardings cannot be restored.

Typically, you will always want to keep the statistical data for your reports. However, if you have created fake onboardings for testing purposes, you would not want to keep the statistical data, otherwise your reports would be inaccurate.

We have added "Yes/No" radio buttons to the modal window for onboarding deletion and a hint text as well.


v2022.21 (10/20/2022)

BetterBulk deletion of tasks
Sometimes you find that certain onboarding tasks are not necessary or no longer needed for an onboarding process. From now on, you can also delete such tasks in bulk.

Deleting multiple tasks of an onboarding
Open the Tasks tab of an onboarding and select the desired tasks to be deleted.

Then, click the -button und click Delete Selected.

An overview of the task titles will be displayed. If you agree, confirm the deletion by clicking the Delete Selected button.

Delete tasks of different onboardings
Open the Onboardings page. On the Dashboard, open the Tasks tab. If necessary, set filters to limit the number of tasks displayed. Select the desired tasks. Then, click the -Button and click Delete Selected.

An overview of the task titles and names of onboardees will be displayed. If you agree, confirm the deletion by clicking the Delete Selected button.
BetterFinding onboardees faster
In version 2022.20, we have moved the "Find Onboardee" field in the onboarding filter to the very top, so you do not need to scroll. From now on, as soon as you open the filter, the Find Onboardee field is activated, enabling you to start typing immediately.


v2022.20 (10/06/2022)

BetterContentless portal articles in the employee portal
Every now and then, you create a portal article that you assign a descriptive title to (e. g. "Benefits") but that does not require any content. Previously, articles without content were not displayed in the employee portal. We took a closer look at this behavior and decided to display portal articles of this type in the portal as well.


BetterFiltering of onboardings
When filtering onboardings, you often want to look up the onboardee. Until now, this filter was located at the very bottom under the name "Onboardee". We have renamed this filter to "Find Onboardee" and moved it to the very top so you do not have to scroll anymore. The behavior of the filter remains unchanged: the search is already carried out by the first letters of the first or last name.


v2022.19 (09/22/2022)

NEWHint for comments on completed tasks
When you write a comment to a completed task, the system will automatically inform you which responsibilities will be notified separately about your comment. You can also configure the recipients of a task comment in the editing mode of a task, in the field Notify When Done.


BetterHints in input fields
Gray hints in input fields will now be automatically hidden from view as soon as you have clicked into the field. By that, you will no longer be visually disturbed by these hints when entering your content. This behavior has been improved system-wide.


v2022.18 (09/08/2022)

NEWCorrespondence templates can be copied
Onboarding correspondence templates can be similar in structure and differ mainly in content, e. g. in details about location or team. From now on, there is no need to manually copy this content from one template to the other, because we have implemented the feature of copying correspondence templates. Feel free to give it a try!
FixedPortal tasks in the employee portal
There was one case when neither newly created nor overdue portal tasks were displayed in the employee portal. The technical error was discovered an fixed in time.


v2022.17 (08/25/2022)

NEWForm fields of additional information as placeholders
Master data of an onboardee and additional information , e. g., the shoe or t-shirt size can be entered from now on by placeholder in tasks (in task description). The placeholder's name will be generated for you automatically once you have created or edited the form field.
Caution
We recommend that you do not enter any sensitive data in the form field. The content may also be sent to external recipients (outside the system) and visible without a viewing permission for the field. If you still want to enter sensitive data, it is best to consult your data protection officer beforehand.

Hotfix (08/12/2022)

Unfortunately, an irregularity occurred in the display of the time of the first working day of onboardees. We have corrected the misbehavior, but the incorrect display of the time for the first working day of onboardees may still occur.

Important

Please edit the start time on the first day for all onboardees created between 07/28/22 to 08/12/22 or for which the start time was edited during this period.


v2022.16 (08/11/2022)

Better

Comment at the hand over appears in the onboarding history

The comment you wrote down in the hand over of an application to the onboarding is now displayed in the onboarding history.

This means that information and notes from recruiting that are relevant for onboarding can be viewed in a central location.

Better

Personal data in tasks

In the mask for creating and modifying a task, we have added a note requesting that no personal data be used in the task title for data protection reasons. This is important because the task title is output for reporting purposes in the reporting API and is therefore not automatically deleted when data is reduced or deleted.

Better

Filtering by task title improved

From now on it doesn't matter if you capitalize or lowercase the task title when filtering tasks. They will be displayed in the search results in any case.

Better

Improved receipt of answered emails

If there is a reply to a assigned task or a sent comment via email, the feedback is now received in the d.vinci Onboarding inbox.

Fixed

Naming the employee portal settings

The heading of the employee portal is now also named as you have named it when editing the data. A technical term had crept in here.

 

v2022.15 (07/28/2022)

BetterCorrespondence for assigning a task
The onboardee details were out of focus in correspondence for assigning a task, as using placeholders can result in long task descriptions. Therefore, we have redesigned the layout of the correspondence by moving these details to the top. The task description and the hint, if there is one, follow right after.
BetterSender name in Email to Onboardee
Messages to onboardees were sent without a sender name. This made the messages in an onboardee´s inbox look impersonal and it was often difficult for onboardees to assign them to a discussion.
From now on, the first and last name of the logged-in user will be used as the sender name for manually triggered correspondence, while the name of the company associated with the onboarding will be used for correspondence sent by the system. If, however, there is no company saved in the master data in the latter case, a static name is entered as the sender of the correspondence, namely "Onboarding team".
BetterCreating tasks simplified
The form for creating a task was complex and contained many features that are superfluous in the majority of cases. Therefore, we redesigned the form so that the focus is directed at the upper area. The lower area with additional features now consists of blocks that can be activated by clicking the switch buttons for special cases. In addition, we have updated the terminology for the last additional feature - Send Message to Onboardee - to make it clear who is the recipient of the correspondence about the created task.
We believe that by redesigning the form we have made creating tasks more intuitive and pleasant for you.
BetterColumn names in the Excel sheet
After exporting the onboarding data to an Excel file, information abou the onboarding processes was displayed under the column name Onboardee. For a better overview, we have changed this column name to Onboarding.
In this context, we have also added the word Phase to the names of columns related to the phases of an onboarding process (Declaration of Intent, Preboarding, Onboarding, Supervision) for a better understanding.
FixedEmail for Assigned Task now in primary language
When assigning a task to an external email address, the correspondence was automatically sent in the language of our development system, i. e. in English. From now on, this correspondece will be sent in the primary language of your d.vinci system.


v2022.14 (07/14/2022)

NEW

Analyze Onboarding data via Reporting API

Via the Reporting API, onboarding data can now be evaluated.

You can see data on onboarding itself, onboardees and tasks. 

What for?

With the data you can, for example, graphically evaluate in PowerBI at which location your onboardees start or which entry reason is the most frequent. In conjunction with data from applicant management, you can evaluate which source was used for an application, which onboarding was successful and much more. 

Configuration

  • You are already using the reporting interface in applicant management?
    You can now easily load data from Onboarding as well.
  • You aren't using the reporting interface yet?
    Read here how you can configure it: Get started with: Reporting API

Feel free to give us feedback on this feature. We want to develop it according to your needs.

NEW

User photo in the header

In the header next to your name, you will see your photo if it was previously uploaded in the user

Better

E-mail language for automatically transferred task

When a task is transferred automatically, the primary language of the system is used for the e-mail.

Fixed

Column naming in Excel export of onboardings

We have named the columns V to AB more clearly.

 

v2022.13 (06/30/2022)

Better

Opening documents

How a document is opend now dependent on the browser settings. Depending on the settings, documents are now no longer downloaded automatically, but open in a new window.

Better

Title of the Employee Portal

If you hold the mouse over the tab of the employee portal, the title "Employee portal" is now displayed.

This is also the text when creating a bookmark.
Before the title was the whole link of the employee portal.

 

v2022.12 (06/16/2022)

NEW

Our wording has changed 

A single New Employee is now an Onboardee and the process is the Onboarding.

The functionality was not changed, only the terminology.

Bit by bit, we will also adapt the articles here in the help portal accordingly.


The Word Entry Date was replaced by First Working Day.

Better

New grouping according to the Reason for Entry

If you click on the button  Onbordings   in the overview of onboardings, Onboardings can now also be grouped according to the Reason for Entry. This allows you to see at a glance how many people are onboarding with which entry reason and what the overall status of the tasks to be completed is.

 

v2022.11 (06/02/2022)

Announcement

Our wording is changing

In one of the next releases we will change our wording in the software a little bit.

A single New Employee will become an Onboardee, multiple New Employees will be Onboardings and the process will then be Onboarding.

The functionality will not change, only the terminology.

Bit by bit, we will also adapt the articles here in the help portal accordingly. 

NEW

Display of the number of onboardings

In the Onboardings overview, there is now a number badge behind the New Employees tab. This shows at a glance how many onboardings are currently running. The number on the badge changes with the filter that is currently set.

NEW

New filter 

Onboardings can now also be filtered by Reason for Entry.

Fixed

Naming placeholder for due tasks

The placeholder for displaying the title for the reminder of due tasks is now correctly named Task - Title Portal Task and accordingly also references the title and no longer the internal name.

Better

Logic when creating a Task/Task Template

In the near future we will simplify the mask for creating tasks. We have implemented a first aspect.

In the employee portal area, selection options are now only displayed if the selection makes logical sense.

Examples

  • If Show Task: When Soon Due is selected, I will get the option to select a created task in Portal Task afterwards. 
  • If Show Task: Never is selected, the Portal Tasks field is not displayed because it would have no effect.
Better

Media buttons in portal articles

In portal articles, the following content can be added using three buttons in the editor:

  • Image
  • Video
  • Horizontal line
Better

Password security for access to the employee portal

Fixed

Password validation

If there was no default portal, errors occurred during password validation.


v2022.4 (2/24/2022)

If an employee wants to log in to the employee portal, the user will see the password and user name policy under the fields user name and password.


v2022.3 (2/10/2022)

NEWMinimum password length adjustable

The minimum password length can be changed via the Security tab in the Basic Settings for all users. 8 characters are still the minimum. There are no upper limits.

Users who already have a password are not affected by the change. They will not be prompted to set a new password. For existing users, it will only be relevant when their password is reset or they request a new password.

Tip:

You want all or certain d.vinci users to use a longer password?

You can reset the password manually for the user or export a user export, take the email addresses from it and ask the users via email to set a new password.

Fixed

The Icon for the task property (v2022.S appeared at all task. Now it just shows up at tasks that have the property portalarticle.


v2022.2 (01/27/2022)

Better

Better

To improve display performance, in the Tasks tab, task descriptions are loaded only after the task is expanded  . This prevents long loading times for particularly large numbers of tasks or task descriptions.

Fixed

Scrolling on the dashboard could be jerky in systems with particularly many onboardings.
