v2024.08 (04/18/2024)

New filters for Job Openings    New  

We have added further filters for the overview of job openings:

  • Creation Date
  • Start of Search

You can search for a time period (From/To) or just fill one of the fields (From or To) with a date.


Job Lists - colour values    Better  

If you have not yet set a colour value, the following icon will let you know:  

This allows you to better distinguish whether white has been selected or whether no colour value has been set yet.


Users    Better  

We have made adjustments in the following areas:

  • Login Method
    For the login method Login possible until there is now also an icon   in the user overview.
  • API User
    User names for API users must not contain any special characters. We will inform you in the future if you try to save unauthorised user names.


Users - User Photo   Fixed  

If you deleted a photo that was previously stored in the users account, it was still displayed for a short period of time after deletion in individual cases.

This information allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your job openings, identify potential for optimization and adapt your recruitment strategy to current requirements.


    In order to regulate access to this function, we have introduced a new permission. The following roles automatically receive this permission: 

    • All roles that contain the system roles Human resources (standard) or Line management (standard)
    • All roles that can see job openings


  • Important, if not already done

    Please check whether all users with the permission Analytics (of job openings) | view should have access to the Analytics function. Instructions: Analytics - Authorization


    Preview of the new function


    User - Login enabled until    New  

    We have added a function for the login method username/password. When editing users, you can now enter a date in the Login enabled until field until which day it is possible to log in to the system. You can also enter dates in the past to exclude users from the system immediately. The function allows you to revoke access to the system during planned absences or withdrawals.

    Example: 

    Login anabled until: 03/26/2024 = From 03/27/2024, the user will see a note when trying to log in that the user name and/or password is invalid.


    Videos - Privacy-Compliant Video Embedding    New  

    In order to be able to offer the embedding of videos from video platforms in compliance with GDPR, we have set up a new function.

    In the settings of the application portals you can now specify whether videos displayed there should receive an additional layer that informs viewers that they accept the declarations of the external video portals by loading the video. To do this, simply activate the Enable privacy layer for embedded videos option in the respective application portal.

    We have currently set this up for Vimeo and YouTube. If you have inserted a video via the editor in the job advertisement template or the application portal and the address for it comes from one of the two portals, this note can be displayed for the viewer.

    User - Display of lists    Better  

    For a better overview, the login method is now displayed with icons in a separate column. If you hold the mouse over an icon, you will receive an explanation of the login method behind it.


    Job advertisement - Panorama    Better  

    The display of several images in the job advertisement has been made accessible. We have removed the following note from the publication accordingly, as it was no longer necessary: For optimal accessibility, select only one image.


    Job Lists - Deletion    Better  

    If a job list was stored in an application portal and was subsequently deleted, an error message that was not very informative appeared externally. We have improved this. It now reads: An error has occurred. Currently no vacancies can be displayed. Please try again later. Thank you for your patience.


    Job Lists - Google Maps    Better  

    If the results view via Google Maps is used in the job list and viewers click on the number of results in the map, the display box for the job title and the details within the map is now larger and correspondingly easier to read.


    Job Lists - Design - Color- and Font Design    Better  

    At this point, we have removed the Rounding of corners  function, as it had no functionality here. However, you can still set a rounding of the corners in the individual areas such as the input fields or the hit list .


    Job Lists - General settings    Better  

    We have removed the option Display empty values in filter in the general settings  section, as it was hardly used. However, job lists that were previously configured with these settings retain their functionality.


    Display on small screens    Fixed  

    On smaller screens, the menu icon  was occasionally not displayed, which made navigation more difficult.

    We have corrected this by optimizing the display of the headings. Headings are automatically shortened if there is not enough space and marked with "..." at the end. The menu icon should now also remain visible on small screens.


    Job Lists - Jump to other sites    Fixed  

    When accessing another page from the job list and trying to get back to the job list, an error occasionally occurred. We had not been able to solve this with the previous release as we had hoped.


    Conflict resolution - Performance    Fixed  

    Due to the changed conflict resolution, there were occasional performance problems in the tasks area. We have already solved these in hotfixes before this release and delivered them to you.


    v2024.06 (03/21/2024)

    TABLE OF CONTENTS


  • New function: Analytics    New  

    From 04.04. you can use our function Analytics. This adds an additional tab to the job openings. There you can view graphics that visualize important data on the applications for the respective job openings. This information allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your job openings, identify potential for optimization and adapt your recruitment strategy to current requirements.


    In order to regulate access to this function, we are introducing a new permission.

    The following roles automatically receive this permission: 

    • All roles that contain the system roles HR department (standard) or line management (standard)
    • All roles that can see job openings
  • You have to do this by April 4th

    Please check whether all users with the Permission Analytics (of job openings) | view should have access to the Analytics. To the instructions:  Analytics - Authorization


    We use a flash message in the system to inform users who have access to components of the permissions system (permissions, roles, users) that the roles should be checked.


    Preview of the new function


    Conflict resolve system-wide vs. Conflict resolve according to view permisson    New  

    We have improved the conflict resolution and now allow you to resolve conflicts at the different organizational levels rather than system-wide. While conflicts were previously checked and executed system-wide (regardless of whether the user had access to the job openings), you can now choose whether users are allowed to solve conflicts organization-wide or only within their access area.


    This is what to do

    You want users to continue to resolve conflicts for your entire company?

    You don't need to do anything. We have merely renamed your Permissions. This is now called Conflicts | resolve system-wide.

    Users should only delete conflicts for job openings that are visible to them?

    The permissions Conflicts | resolve according to view permission must be manually added to their role and the permissions Conflicts | resolve system-wide must be removed from it. If necessary, an existing role must be copied, the permissions Conflicts | delete system-wide removed from it, the permissions Conflicts | resolve system-wide added and the role assigned to the users. See also: Role - edit, copy or delete

    Tip:

    Use the filter button   on the page Roles and search for the word Conflict to display all roles with permissions for the conflict solution.


    That's whys this is important

    If users receive both permissions, the system is based on the principle of unrestricted (system-wide) conflict resolution. This means that all conflicts relating to the person are deleted again, even if they are not within the user's field of vision.


    Conflict/multiple application - Labeling and tasks   Better  

    • Labeling of the conflict
      From now on, we will mark all multiple applications directly with a conflict symbol  . Previously, only the second application of a person was marked. This applies to applications that are recorded in the system after this release. The previous system behavior remains in place for existing conflicts.
    • Tasks for conflicts
      A task is automatically created for each identified conflict as soon as a user has permissions to view multiple applications. As soon as a conflict is resolved for a person, all associated tasks are considered completed.

  • Application portal - Preview button   Better  

    On the details page for an Application Portal, you can now display a preview of the application portal with all its content. To do this, click on the button  Preview. 


    Users - Filters    Better  

    You can now also set the filter Company above the overview list of users and thereby display users from a specific company only. 


    Sorting of lists   Better  

    If you click on the column headings in the following areas, the entries are now sorted alphabetically in ascending or descending order.

  • Example


    Activity Log - Element names    Better  

    Changes to the job list were listed in the activity log with an old name. We have now corrected this so that you can better understand which system component has been changed.


    Login - Multiple registrations    Better  

    If a user is logged in and another user logs in on the same computer in the same session, the original session is terminated and the user who was previously logged in is logged out.


    Application Portal - IP access rules    Better  

    If you accidentally enter an IP address twice in the IP access rules of an application portal, we delete the duplicate and save the entry. 


    Job List - Pilot phase    Better  

    Over the last few weeks, the job list function has matured. We are therefore no longer marking the job list as "experimental". However, we are still looking forward to your feedback on possible improvements to this feature.


    Job list - Font-weight    Better  

    You can now specify the font weight in the job list in the Design -> Color and font design section. This changes the font weight for the filter description "Please select" and the additional information about the job behind the icons in the job list.


    Job List - Hyphenation    Better  

    With very long position names, it could lead to unfavorable displays. The hyphenation of the browser is now active and automatically breaks long names. If errors occur due to the hyphenation of the browser, it often helps to use other and possibly shorter words.


    Job List - Keyword Search    Fixed  

    When using the keyword search filter in the job list, the "We offer" section of your publication was not searched for keywords.

    Job List - Jump to other sites   Fixed  

    When accessing another website from the job list and trying to return to the job list, an error occasionally occurred. 


    Layout - File format    Fixed  

    In the layout ICO. files for the favicon could not be uploaded for a short time. 


    Job Advertisement Template - Placeholder    Fixed  

    If you wanted to insert a form field as a placeholder in a job advertisement template, the correct name was not available in the placeholder selection.


    Application Form - Mandatory fields    Fixed  

    If applicants submitted the application form without filling in all mandatory fields, their choice of location was not saved. 


    Hiring Requests - Hiring request templates    Fixed  

    If a hiring request was created and a hiring request template was subsequently selected, an error occurred. 


    Applications - View on Android devices    Fixed  

    The overview of applications could not be loaded completely when using devices with an Android operating system.


    Application Portal - Fixed source    Fixed  

    If a source that was defined as a fixed source in an application portal was deleted from the system, an error occurred when applications were submitted via this portal. We have corrected this. Sources can now only be deleted if they are not stored as a fixed source in any application portal. 

    v2024.05 (03/07/2024)

    Login - Forgot your password?    Better  

    We have updated the function Forgot your password. From now on, users who click on Forgot your password? on the login/registration page will receive an email with a link to a page where they can set a new password. The old password can be used until the new one has been created and saved. The link loses its validity after 48 hours and Forgot your password? must be clicked again to receive a new link.


    Job advertisement template - Changes    Fixed   

    If a system language was deactivated for which translations had already been maintained, job advertisement templates could not be edited. We have fixed this.


    REST-API - Accessibility    Fixed  

    REST-API-URLs with a slash at the end could not be called. This is now possible again.

    Use of Online Interviews/Video Pitches

    As announced in previous Release Notes, new terms of use of our partner Cammio GmbH came into force on January 1st, 2024 and your consent is required for the further use of video pitches. You can read these terms of use, as well as the privacy policy (both currently available only in German) here.


    For users who have not yet agreed to the new terms of use, the license was automatically deactivated on February 22nd, 2024. To continue using the online interviews and benefit from an unlimited number of video pitches, you must do the following in your d.vinci:

    You can find an overview of all available data here: OData Reporting API

    NEW

    Additional Apply Button in Job Advertisement

    You now have the option to insert additional apply buttons in your job advertisements. To do this, you need to place the new placeholder "Job Publication - Additional Apply Button" in the desired containers.

    Furthermore, you can change the label of the button, which says "Apply Now" be default, in all your languages. This change applies to both the standard as well as the liquid design of a job advertisement template.

    Please note:

    • For the "Apply with WhatsApp" feature, the WhatsApp button is always displayed before the first apply button of a job publication.

    • It is not possible to configure different labels for the apply button in an application portal.

    Our recommendation:

    • For the best performance and user experience, you should add no more than one additional apply button per container.

    • Only use the additional apply button in in the liquid design job advertisement template in the "Position/ Details (Liquid Design)" container to prevent the button label from being read-out and published by job boards (such as StepStone).

    • In the standard job advertisement template, we recommend using the additional apply button in the "Header/ Position" container.

    Interface Icons - Display

    To keep up with the latest developments in software design, we have updated our icons from the Font Awesome family system-wide to the latest version. The design of the current icons differs only minimally from the previous version:

    Job List - "NEW" Sticker 

    We give you the option of adding a "NEW" sticker to job publications in your job lists for a custom duration.

    To do this, first activate the Advanced mode. Scroll further down and activate the option Display "New" Sticker. Enter your custom duration in days and do not forget to click the button Save and publish to apply your changes.

    Please note:
    This adjustment of the duration for marking job publications as NEW only applies to your job lists. For an individual job advertisement refresh, please follow these instructions.

    Fixed

    Job List - List Layout

    If the layout named List was selected for a job list, the contents of a list entry could be displayed incorrectly: if there were more than 4 parameters, these were not displayed on the right-hand side in alignment with the contents on the left-hand side. We have corrected this behavior.

    Fixed

    Application Questionnaire - Using the enter key

    If an applicant was filling out the application questionnaire and the mouse pointer was in an input field, accidentally pressing the ENTER key could trigger the application to be submitted. We have corrected this behavior. Now, the application will be sent by pressing the ENTER key only if the applicant has deliberately selected the "Submit" button using the TAB key.

    Adjustable Order of the Intro Page Buttons

    System users with activated Candidate Experience Module can now change the order of the apply-with buttons on the intro page themselves. To do this, no edit icon needs to be clicked for individual elements. Instead, you can drag individual buttons to the desired position by clicking and holding the vertigal grip dots.


    Fixed

    Job Publication Channel - Deletion

    As soon as a job publication channel is deleted, it is automatically set to "OFF" in all job publications. Unfortunately, this was not always the case and a deleted job publication channel was still visible from time to time. We habe corrected this behavior.

    Diplay Name of Permissions

    In the English version of d.vinci, permissions without a display name (if English was not set as a mandatory language) were not displayed correctly. Now, permissions are also displayed in English, even if the display name has only been entered in German.

    Fixed

    Questionnaire - Confirmation Email

    If no confirmation email was selected for questionnaires of the type Application Questionnaire, a correspondence template was still displayed here. We have fixed the display error.  

    Fixed

    Job lists - Job list layout with image 

    In order to display images in the job list layouts with image in the preview, it is necessary to delete the query parameter fields=small in the advanced mode. If this has been saved, the fields=small entry has been re-entered. We have corrected this.
