Summary
Merge Document Validation
What It Is: When downloading an existing merge document for editing and re-uploading, it was found that MS Word would often automatically add or replace characters within merge tags, rendering them invalid. This would result in the merge document no longer functioning as expected.
Following this deployment, when uploading new or updated merge document templates into eRecruit, the system will now attempt to detect potentially invalid merge tags caused by these additional characters, offering the user the option to fix these automatically.
The Benefits: Users will no longer have to search for or replace these invalid merge tags manually.
Merge Document Validation
When making amendments to existing merge document templates, customers have experienced issues in the past whereby MS Word has replaced or added characters within merge tags, rendering them invalid. In this deployment, we will be releasing a validation feature for merge document templates that will attempt to detect these invalid merge tags and give users the option to have them fixed automatically. Merge documents are managed through the Merge Document Templates section of the System configuration module.
Existing merge documents can be downloaded from the system using the Download action. These can then be edited, saved and re-uploaded.
Once a Merge document has been created or amended it can be uploaded to the system either by Creating a Merge Document Template or by Editing an existing template.
Use the Browse button to search and locate the relevant merge document and click Save.
eRecruit will display a list of merge tags where an error has been detected and indicate a proposed change. Users will be provided with a checkbox for each merge tag and may deselect any that should not be corrected. All checkboxes will be selected by default. By clicking Save, the system will attempt to correct the selected merge tags.
The system will display a confirmation page detailing the actions that have been taken. Where a merge tag has been successfully corrected, it will be indicated with a green tick and the amended merge tag displayed. Where a merge tag was deselected in the previous step, it will be indicated with a red cross and “User chose not to fix”. Where the system was unable to correct a merge tag, it will be indicated with a red cross and “Could not be fixed”.
By clicking Save, the merge document with amendments will be uploaded. By clicking Cancel, the changes will not be made and document will not be uploaded.
