     Workflows & Forms
    • New Heatmap dashboard for the Windows application when accessing the Workflows module.
    • #003391 + #003426:  Fixed an issue when printing a review that is part of an isolated workflow (not part of review process / schedule)

      • It is now possible to include tags that reference fields from the workflow self for generating the document's filename.
      • Now includes more detailed options for tags for lookup fields.  Can specify [EntryCode.ID], [EntryCode.Text] and [EntryCode.Code].  The .Code option is only available for Question Form Entries while the rest are for both Question and "Field from Record" entries.
    • Import from Workflow Activity
      • Fixed issue when changing occupation fields without updating the whole occupation.

    • Tasklist Activity
      • Fixed a bug when deleting a Tasklist activity where nothing was happening.
      • Fixed an issue where it was possible to sign off an already completed Tasklist activity which could prevent workflows from completing (if Tasklist is last activity in workflow). 
    • On Forms, for "Field from Record" entries, the following issues have been fixed:
      • Disability field
      • Won't give "nullable error" when submitting a form with blank dropdown values for optional entries.
    • Created a better mechanism for cancelling workflows so that it would be easier to "uncancel" them in future.

     

     Leave Administration
    • #003404:  Added a comment box when approving leave applications (instead of only having a reason for rejection).
    • #003410:  Bug when cancellation is disabled for a leave type which enables approvers to approve applications for approval steps they are not authorised for.

     Job Profiling & Performance Management
    • New Sunburst dashboard for the Performance Management module on the Windows application.
    • Fixed an error when starting a Review Activity where the Employee only has read-only access.
    • When creating review processes in a batch and starting the first activity, when an error occurs due to no valid profile found for an employee, the system would "start" the first activity even though the underlying review creation had failed.  This has been fixed.
    • Option to show Review Sections in a Profile, but with the percentages hidden.

      • Skills Templates have been redone and can now contain different kinds of categories like Languages, Skills, Work Experience, etc.
