Summary
Changes to default file/folder names when packaging candidates
What It Is: When packaging candidates (both PDF and Standard) we will now be including relevant information within the PDF file name and folder names.
The Benefits: This change helps users identify the correct package when saving and brings consistency to the file naming convention used when packaging candidates.
Changes to the drag and drop feature on an APM Approval Form
What It Is: When moving candidates around the drag and drop area of an Approval form and clicking Save and Continue, if mandatory information in the form has been missed, all candidates are reverted back to their original position in the drag and drop list and need to be re-sorted. This change will ensure that candidates retain their position if mandatory information has been missed.
The Benefits: Users will no longer have re-order the candidates if mandatory information within the form has been missed.
Changes to default file/folder names when packaging candidates
In order to assist users in saving and identifying the correct package (both PDF and Standard), we have included relevant information within the file/folder name. When packaging candidates from the Candidate List, the Job name will now always be included in the PDF file name or folder name. Please note: Job names will be truncated to display the first 100 characters in the file/folder name.
When packaging from the Talent module, “Talent Search” will be included in the PDF file name or folder name.
When packaging from the Candidate Card, the candidate name will be included in the PDF file name and folder name.
In all PDF file names and folder names, date and time stamps will also be visible.
In the case of Standard packaging, the files within the zip folder will continue to show the relevant candidate name and ID for each file contained.
Changes to the drag and drop feature on an APM Approval Form
When moving candidates around the drag and drop area of an Approval form and clicking Save and Continue, if mandatory information in the form has been missed, currently all candidates are reverted back to their original position in the drag and drop list and need to be re-sorted.
Following this deployment, candidates will retain their position if mandatory information has been missed and will not need to be re-ordered or moved into the appropriate sections when completing the form.
