Benefit: Where modal windows are too long to fit on a page, users will now be able to easily access the Action buttons without having to scroll
Controlling access to Standard Reports within the Talent Analytics module
To allow users to control access to the standard reports, a new group called "eR Standard Report Viewers" has been created in all client systems (in the Talent Analytics Module). This group will be used to control access to the standard reports.
By default, the group includes all reporting users. As such, you will not notice any changes to the visibility of the standard reports until modifications are made.
To set up restricted access to the standard reports, a dedicated document has been created to guide you through the process: Talent Analytics User Guide: Configuring Access to Standard Reports. This user guide can be located on the User Community under eRecruit User Guides.
Activity Scheduler enhancements
Following recent work to the Activity Scheduler, we have continued to make enhancements to this area of the system, focusing on improved usability and consistency.
Ability to assign an interviewer to an Activity Block without having to save the Activity Block first
The Interviewer field will now appear from the outset when creating an Activity Block, eliminating the need to save first and then edit to assign an interviewer.
Providing visibility of the Add Break functionality when adding a new Time Segment
The ‘Add Break’ option will now appear from the outset when creating a Time Segment, making this functionality clearly visible to users.
Providing clarity around selecting either an Activity OR Activity block (not both) when creating a Ticket
Confusion around whether one or both options should be selected when creating a Ticket has been eliminated. Should a user attempt to select a both options, the original selection will revert back to ‘None’.
Renaming and reordering of fields within the Activity Block screen
Fields within the Activity Block screen have been repositioned into a more logical order and several fields have been renamed to provide clarity on the field’s purpose.
Updating of terminology with the Activity Scheduler
Terminology has been updated within Scheduler to ensure consistency and clarity throughout the module. For example scheduler components refer to ‘Activity’ rather than ‘Interview’. Please note: where customers have had terminology changed to suit business needs, this will remain unchanged.
Venue Capacity is no longer mandatory when creating an Activity Venue
Users are no longer required to enter in Capacity details when creating an Activity Venue.
Removing clutter on the Activities list and providing filter functionality
The Activity List often becomes lengthy and difficult to navigate, therefore a filter has been added allowing users to filter between Upcoming, Past or All Activities. By default, the filter will be sent to Upcoming Activities. When the filter is set to Upcoming, it will display any Activity with blocks that have either commenced but not yet been completed or that occur in the future. When the filter is set to Past, it will display any Activity that has all blocks with end dates occurring in the past or where all blocks are inactive.
Providing pagination and column selection to all tabs within the Scheduler
Pagination, column selection and Records per page will now be available on all tabs within the Scheduler, providing improved navigation and customization.
Modal (pop-up) window enhancements
Modal (pop-up) windows often appear throughout the system, and where these windows are too long to fit on a page, it becomes difficult for users to navigate to the Action buttons located at the bottom of the window.
In this deployment, modal windows have been enhanced so that Action buttons will always be visible in a panel at the bottom of the window regardless of any scrolling that is required.
