Labs
Take a look behind the scenes and see what community ideas and other improvements we are working on, as they are being developed.
Share filters and searches
You can share filters and search results with co-workers in your office, or send them on to one particular co-worker. When you send to a particular co-worker they also receive edit rights. When you share with a group of co-workers in your office, the edit rights remain with you and only results from the search or the filter can be seen by your co-workers.
For filters, open the filter for edit and select an office and/or a co-worker:
With searches, choose the "save as..." option and select an office and/or a co-worker:
You need to have product manager authorization to share filters and searches with other co-workers.
Custom notifications
You can now customize notification emails. It is setupable just like any other ordinary template, just choose the "notification" type when you setup the template:
A notification template has it its own set of macro's available. Help for these macro's is show on the right-hand of the template edit screen.
Simple editor for vacancy texts
We switched the editor for vacancy texts to a more simplified version. The former editor had a lot of functions, like ability to add images and changing font colors, which could mess up the way the vacancy text would show within the layout of your website. The new editor only has the most basic options:
These remaining options are:
- Paste as plain text
- Bold
- Italic
- Insert/remove numbered list
- Insert/remove bulleted list
- Insert/edit link
- Remove link
- Maximize the editor size (full-screen)
- View source
The choice of editor is not available in setup. But it is possible for us to restore the former editor if you would like that better. Please contact our helpdesk if you would want the former editor restored.
Turn standard filters off
peoplexs comes standard with a couple of filters. Filters like "[All candidates]", "[My candidates]", etc. Since you also have the possibility to create your own filters these filters can become obsolete. Or as an administrator you might even don't want your users to be able to use these standard filters anymore. Therefore it is now possible in setup to turn standard filters off for your complete installation. Only the filters you made yourself are available. This setting can be found in the "setup - customise - filters - setup".
To have an alternative to the current "my ..." standard filters we introduced a macro you can use to create filters that only displays data the user owns. When you select owner as an element you see the user macro on the top of the list with users:
When you select the macro, every user can use the filter, but it will only show the data that particular user owns.
Date macros for filters
You can now create filters with date macros. A date macro allows you to create a filter with a selection like "this month's", "last month's", etc. candidates. And you don't have to enter the actual dates. The filter automatically adjusts itself based on today's date.
When you select a date field in the setup of the filter, a list of all the available date macros appear:
This is a great new option to use filters to show last months candidates and see which are still pending, vacancies that will expire next week, etc.
Archive and recycle bin for mails and documents
Mails and documents have got their own archive and recycle bin. You can use the archive to keep older versions of documents. Archived documents and mails are not listed in the overview and are not available for print-all. Deleted documents and mails will be stored in the recycle bin, where they will be kept for one month before they automatically are permanently deleted. During this time it is still possible to restore a document or mail from the recycle bin. It is possible to restore a document or mail from the archive at all times.
When you archive or delete a candidate or a vacancy, the related documents are automatically moved to the archive or the recycle bin too.
Number of rows on the screen
The number of rows on a screen is always limited to 20 rows. On some of the larger computer screens this resulted in a lot of empty space on the bottom:
To fill up the unused space you can set your own number of rows per screen. No more empty space, and a lot less browsing through pages:
You can choose the number of rows that suit the size of your computer screen best in "Setup - my settings". On the bottom right you find the "Max rows" option.
New due date search option on tasklist
We added a new search option for due dates on the task list. The list with tasks can grow very long. And sometimes you just want to see what tasks are due today, tomorrow, this week, next week, etc. We have gathered all of these options in a picklist you can choose at the top of the screen:
Just choose one of the options and the dates are filled automatically. You can still change the dates if you like to tune the list further. Or just choose another option.
Your last used search option is saved. When you return to the task list screen the next day or another day the search is automatically refreshed. That way you can always have it set to your preferred view of the task list.
Due date calculation
We added a new option for the automatic due date calculation of tasks. When a user doesn't enter a value for a due date of a task, a standard due date is calculated depending on the setup of the workflow. For each status or location you can set a number of days to use for this calculation.
It is now possible in the setup to mark for an entire workflow if the calculation should only include working days, or if it should also include weekends:
The default option is a calculation including weekends.
View-only picklist values
We introduced picklist values that can be seen as part of the picklist, but cannot be selected as a value. This is particularly helpful if you want a small text to appear in a drop down box on a form, indicating the applicant to make a selection. Yet, prevent them from actually selecting the value. Like this example of a "country" dropdown box on a form:
We added the "---Select---" value to the picklist to remind the applicant to select a country. To make sure that the value itself cannot be selected you have to mark it in the setup of the picklist as "not submittable":
When you mark a picklist value as "not submittable", it will work right away on all forms you have made that use the picklist. Also in the app itself.
