Browsing candidates

We added some features making it more easy to browse through candidates that resulted from a search or have applications with the same vacancy. Based on the ideas from @graafeiland Back to search results and from @keiza Scroll through CV's on the Dutch community.

It is quite simple, as soon as you open a candidate from a search result list or from the "applications" tab of a vacancy, the browse option appears on top of the screen, just below the CV of the candidate:

As you can see there is a link to return to the vacancy or the result list. And there is also a previous and next option, allowing you to browse.

The list you browse through reflects the choices you made in search or on the applications tab. Meaning, that if you have used additional search criteria in the applications tab, you will browse through the list that resulted from that additional search.

Based on the idea from @visentin, to make it a little easier for users to see if they are inside a candidate, account, vacancy, etc. we added the corresponding colors to the side navigation buttons as you can see below:

You'll note that the colors are indicated by arrows point to the right. This has been done to guide users to the correct part of their screen. This creates a natural focus on the information right of the side bar and at the same time the color reminds of you of the type of object you're working on.

Hide menus and tabs

The idea on the community Hide tabs and objects (objects meaning menus), has been around since April this year and I am happy it got finally voted in a release. The idea was posted by @neavev.

The idea is to hide menus and tabs that you don't use in PeopleXS. When not used, they only clutter the screen and by hiding them you can remove unnecessary distractions.

Let me note that this is a temporary solution that in time will be replaced by a full-fledged role system (customizable in the peoplexs spirit). But more about that when we get that far.

The setup is quite easy. Go to "Setup - Hide menus and tabs" and here you find an overview of the menu items that are hideable:

Just check the menus you want to hide and press save. You dont have to worry about internal links in peoplexs. Like if you would want to hide "Accounts", vacancies in peoplexs will still have a link to their account, you only hide the menu option "Accounts".

Next to each menu you see the option "Hide tabs". This will list all the available tabs for this menu, like this example for "Vacancies":

Mark the tabs you want to hide, and save.

That was easy :-)

Finaly, a little sidenote about the status of the release. The release is now ready to ship. I realize we are running a little behind on schedule with postings in this Lab section about the contents of the release, so we will do the last updates now quickly. Too late for you to comment before the release, but we will do beter next time and lets hope that we made it exactly as you wanted it.
