Edit History: Record Creation

The Edit History section within the Activity tab of a Candidate, Contact, or Lead record now only displays one entry associated with the record’s Date Added when a new candidate, contact, lead, or company is created. Previously, an extra entry was displayed with blank text.

Uplifting the Questionnaire Panel

What’s new?

The SEEK job posting functionality has been upgraded to leverage the new SDK. This includes changes to the Questionnaire functionality, AD Selection widget functionality, descriptive error messages based on maximum field lengths, and the inclusion of ‘Monthly’ pay value.

Why does it matter?

The previous version of the SDK has been deprecated by the vendor SEEK, which enables these new pieces of functionality.

How do I enable this?

Generally available exclusively to the APAC market.

What’s new?

Bullhorn now allows clients to default user list searches within the ATS to the past year as an opt-in feature. This feature will apply to the following mosaic lists:

• Candidates
• ClientContacts
• Companies (aka ClientCorporations)
• Job Orders
• Job Submissions
• Leads
• Opportunities
• Placements

Why does it matter?

This enhancement aims to improve list load performance by automatically setting the date range to the past year, which users can adjust for future searches.

Add Unsaved Changes Modal for Updating Existing or Saving New Search

What’s new?

On the Compliance Manager list, when navigating to an action that will undo changes you’ve made to a Saved Search, you’ll now be prompted to save your changes. The prompt will allow you to update the saved Search, create a new Saved Search, or continue without saving. 

You’ll see this prompt when taking any of the following actions:

• Clicking RESET inside the Advanced Search screen.
• Clicking RESET search or filter, or CLEAR search or filter from the list.
• Clicking the Back to quick search button from the Advanced Search screen
• Clicking X on the Advanced Search screen.

We’ve made this update to the following lists:

• Compliance Manager

Why does it matter?

This prompt will help you avoid losing your potential criteria updates when resetting or navigating away from an updated Saved Search.

How do I enable this?

You do not need to take any action to enable this feature.

MFA

What’s new?

Bullhorn now offers clients an additional layer of security for users logging into the platform. Alongside the existing username and password, clients can enable a feature that requires users to enter an access code sent to their email.

Note: This includes mobile app logins. A client using an SSO provider cannot be configured to use this feature.

Why does it matter?

This added security measure enhances protection for clients who rely on Bullhorn’s login as the only method for accessing our products. Clients can reduce the risk of unauthorized access, providing greater peace of mind for those handling sensitive information.

How do I enable this?

Generally Available: Clients can choose to opt in via a corporation setting, and enforce this feature on all associated users. Once activated, users will be prompted to enter an email-delivered access code in addition to their usual login credentials.

Bullhorn will no longer support HTML file types in the 2024.10 (November) release. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Bullhorn Support.

Appointments: External Appointments Tracking

External outbound appointment invites will now be tracked and created in Bullhorn. Previously, when creating external outbound appointment invites, the appointments were not tracked or created in Bullhorn.

Canvas: Update Canvas Banner Display when Canvas is Up-to-date

The Update Canvas banner will now only display if Canvas is not up-to-date. Previously, this banner would continue to display even after the update was completed. 

Emails: Company Data Display When Forwarding Jobs

When forwarding multiple jobs within Bullhorn, the email body displays the correct company data. Previously, when forwarding multiple jobs, the company details in the email body did not match the associated job records.

REST API: isWorkFromHome on JobOrder and Placement Entity References

The Bullhorn API documentation has been updated to add the isWorkFromHome field to the JobOrder and Placement entity references. Previously, isWorkFromHome was missing from the list of available fields for the JobOrder and Placement entities.

Shifts: Shifts on Shift Assignment Placement Card Due to Timezones

The Shift Assignment Placement Cards on Shift Scheduler will now adjust to the correct time zone based on the job location. 

Previously, shifts did not appear correctly for jobs in the Pacific time zone. 

Database Search: DateTime Fields Show Universal Time

Clients who utilize customized integrations or API calls to query dates in their database will now see dates and times displayed in UTC. Previously, in certain scenarios, dates and times were incorrectly saved in EST, causing search query results not to have any matched records.

Document Editor: Candidate Files Tab Slideout

When making multiple individual edits to a file in the Document Editor accessed on a Candidate record, all edits correctly reflect on the Slideout of the Files Tab. Previously, subsequent changes weren’t displayed.

Bullhorn Reporting: Quick Guide Help Links

When a user clicks on the “Show me how” link within the Bullhorn Reporting Quick Guide, they will now be directed to a pop-up window with the correct help page for the corresponding Knowledge Base article. Previously, they were presented with a “Page Not Found” error.

Copilot Card UX Updates

What’s new?

We’ve made changes to the user interface of the Copilot Generative Candidate Card.

Updates to Action Buttons

The Action button labels have been shortened:

• Change Tone is now Tone.
• Change Length is now Length.
• Change Language is now Language.

If you select an action, the corresponding Action button now displays which adjustment was applied. If you generate a new prompt, the buttons will revert to their default states.

Updates to Action Options

The Tone and Length options have been updated. They now display a tick next to the option you’ve selected.

Updated Tone options:

• Casual
• Neutral
• Business
• Academic
• Friendly

Updated Length Options

• Under 100 Words (Recommended for SMS)
• Under 250 Words (Recommended for Email)
• Under 500 Words

Updates to Auto-Generation and Update Button

Prompts will no longer auto-generate after you select a prompt. When you initially load the prompt editor, you’ll see a blue Generate button, which you can click to generate your chosen prompt.

Once a prompt has been generated, the button will change to a white Regenerate button.

If you select any Action options or change the data used, the button will change to a blue Update button.

Updates to the Copy to Clipboard button

The Copy to Clipboard button has been moved to the bottom right of the Copilot card.

Why is this important?

These updates will make the Copilot Generative Candidate Card more intuitive to use. They will give you more visibility and control over your actions and help you keep track of which adjustments you’ve already made to your prompt.

Display of Candidate Credential Status

What’s new? 

When a Candidate’s Credential is set to expire within the next 30 days, the Credential Status will be shown as Expiring in all areas of Compliance Manager and on the Credentials tab of the Placement and Candidate record. This status will revert to the original status once the expiration date is set to a date that is more than 30 days in the future. This change only affects the display status seen in the ATS.

Why is this important? 

By displaying that the Candidate’s Credential Status as expired, Compliance specialists can take action to ensure the credential is updated where required.

How do I enable this?

Default for clients with Compliance Manager.

Bullhorn Reporting: Model-related Errors

We resolved an issue in the Bullhorn Reporting model that resulted in intermittent errors. Reports are now running successfully.

Compliance Manager: Candidate Credential Expiration Date

We resolved an issue where the value for the expiration date of a Candidate’s Credential was not displaying correctly in multiple areas within Compliance Manager. The displayed value will no longer change when a user updates their Location Preferences.

Compliance Manager: Requirements Completed Progress Bar

The progress bar now displays whether necessary credentials have been obtained for a Placement, regardless of the columns selected in View Layout. Previously, removing columns from View Layout resulted in inaccuracies. Resolving this issue allows Recruiters, Compliance Managers, and Credentialing Specialists to identify Placements with unmet requirements quickly.

Constant Contact: Pushing of Tearsheets

Tearsheets are now being pushed to Constant Contact. Users will briefly see the “In Progress” status in the Constant Contact list view while the records are pushed to Constant Contact. Once completed, the Status and Count column column will update. Previously, users would see a Status of “In Progress” and a Count of “0” indefinitely in Bullhorn, and no records would push to Constant Contact.

Firefox: Emails Sent From ATS

You can now send emails from the ATS when using Firefox version 126. Previously, you would receive a red “Unknown Error” banner, and the email would not send as expected.

SSO: Azure & Okta Access To The Bullhorn For Gadget

Single sign-on (SSO) Users will now be automatically logged into the Bullhorn for Email Gadget when using either the Outlook Desktop Application (ODA) or the Online Web Application (OWA). Previously, users with an email address associated with more than one Bullhorn account (enabled or disabled) were prompted for credentials. This fix only works in production environments.

Placement Change Request: Menu Icon

The Placement Charge Request icon now appears in Bullhorn. Previously, the icon was missing from the Menu, Placement Change Request list, and add/edit pages.

Update Existing Saved Searches

What’s new?

You can now update existing saved searches through the advanced search view. You can also create new versions of existing searches with revised criteria.

To update a saved search:

1. Open a saved search and click the filter icon in the Quick Search bar.

1. A window will open, allowing you to edit the search criteria.
2. Click the Save Search + button.

• Select Update Saved Search to save your changes to the existing saved search.
• Select Create new Saved Search to create a new version of the search with the updated criteria.

Note: Updating column layout changes within a saved search will come in a later release.

Why does it matter?

This allows you to update existing saved searches effortlessly, so you can quickly refine and tailor your candidate search and fill jobs swiftly.

Recent and Saved Searches

What’s new?

We’ve enhanced the Quick Search view for certain lists and added valuable data so you can quickly view the search criteria for your recent and saved searches.

Previously, recent searches didn’t clearly display the criteria used, and saved searches only displayed the title. Now with recent searches, you can easily determine the ideal criteria for your business needs and make necessary adjustments. With saved searches, you can easily see who owns the search and what criteria was used, without opening the search.

You can see these changes in the following lists:

• Payable Charges
• Billable Charges
• Invoices
• Timesheets
• Compliance Manager Dashboard

Why does it matter?

These enhancements allow you to quickly sort through your data and get the results you need to keep your business moving.

Advanced Search User Interface

What’s new?

The Advanced Search interface for selected lists has been updated with a new design. The previous “Save as Favorite” button has been renamed to “Save Search”, and the previous “Add Condition” option for adding entity field criteria has been renamed to “Add Filters”. 

This update has been made to the following lists:

• Payable Charges
• Billable Charges
• Timesheets
• Invoices
• Compliance Manager Dashboard
• Why does it matter?

The new interface and clear labeling makes it easier to perform advanced searches using your defined criteria, so that you can quickly search for candidates in your database and get them to work.

Auto-Updating Version Available

What’s new?

An auto-updating version of Data Replication is now available. 

Why does it matter?

This enhancement uses the Self-Updating JAR to auto-detect version changes and automatically install the latest version. This ensures your Data Replication environment always has the latest updates and fixes. Additionally, enhanced security measures are in place to ensure that only valid files are installed.

How do I enable this?

All Data Replication clients are encouraged to contact Bullhorn Support for this complimentary upgrade.

Display of Expired Credentials

What’s new? 

When a Candidate’s Credential is expired, the Credential Status will be displayed as Expired in all areas of Compliance Manager, the Credentials tab of the Placement and Candidate record, and the Edit Credential Form. This status is only shown when the credential has expired and will revert to the original status once the expiration date is set to a future date. This only affects the display status seen in the ATS. 

Why is this important? 

By displaying that the Candidate’s Credential status has expired, Compliance specialists can take action to ensure the credential is updated where required.

How do I enable this?

Default for clients with Compliance Manager.

Language Selection

What’s new?

We’ve added a Language button to the Copilot Generative Candidate Card. You can use this option to quickly translate your prompt response into one of the supported languages, with the default selection based on your Private Label’s locale Setting.

Why does it matter?

Previously, you would need to use a Custom Action to translate prompt responses into a language other than US English. The Language button makes it easy to translate your prompt responses quickly.

How do I enable this?

This update is applied by default to all clients with Copilot enabled and does not require any additional enablement. Speak to your Account Manager to learn more about enabling Copilot.

Error Logs on Admin Page

What’s new?

We’ve enhanced the error logs on the Copilot Admin page to include which LLM field is causing an error when connecting to the selected LLM.

Why does it matter?

Clearer error messaging will make it easier for users to troubleshoot their Copilot configuration.

Dynamic Matching of Credential Requirements

What’s new? 

A Credential Requirement added to a Job and carried over to a Placement as a Placement Requirement can now be dynamically matched with an existing Candidate Credential that is not expired and has one of the following Credential Statuses:  Current, Complete, Verified, or Reviewed.

Why does it matter? 

This saves a recruiter and compliance specialist time from manually matching a Candidate’s Credential Requirement and a Placement Requirement.

How do I enable this?

To enable this feature, please contact Support.

Display of Expired Credentials

What’s new? 

When a Candidate’s Credential is expired, the Credential Status will be displayed as Expired in all areas of Compliance Manager, the Credentials tab of the Placement and Candidate record, and the Edit Credential Form. This status is only shown when the credential has expired and will revert to the original status once the expiration date is set to a future date. This only affects the display status seen in the ATS.

Why is this important? 

By displaying that the Candidate’s Credential status has expired, Compliance specialists can take action to ensure the credential is updated where required.

How do I enable this?

Default for clients with Compliance Manager.

User Billing Report

What’s new?

We’ve removed text from the User Billing Report that inaccurately defined a billable user.

Why does it matter?

Removing incorrect verbiage prevents billing confusion. For the latest definitions of billable users, please refer to the Running a User Report KB article.

Layout Enhancement

What’s new?

Column Layout and Saved Search buttons have been moved to the list header on the Compliance Manager list.

Why does it matter?

This change allows for a more streamlined List experience and paves the way for future enhancements.

How do I enable this?

You do not need to take any action to enable this feature.

Compliance Manager: Certification File Attachments

Users will now receive a warning message that the selected file requires an entitlement to view. Previously, when users without permission to view sensitive file types clicked to download a sensitive file, they were redirected to an error window. This fix will help users understand why they can’t access certain files and improve transparency around file permissions.

REST API: Blocked Calls for All Fields Requests

Users will now receive a 400 error stating “You are not authorized to request all fields” when attempting to make a REST API call to retrieve an entity and asking for fields=*. Previously, users would receive a 500 response

Searching: Saved Favorite Searches

The user’s full name now shows next to favorite searches within entity lists. Before this fix, only the user’s first name was displayed next to a favorited search.

Data Table Pagination Layout Changes

What’s new?

Pagination and Items Per Page have been moved to the bottom for the following lists:

• Billable Charge
• Compliance Manager
• Invoice
• Issue
• Mass Action Batch
• Payable Charge
• Surcharge

Why does it matter?

This change allows for a more streamlined List experience and paves the way for future enhancements.

Automatic Purging of Log Files

What’s new?

Admins can now set the duration for log retention for both files and the database. This can be done via the properties file.

Why does it matter?

This reduces storage requirements concerning archived logs.

UI Updates

What’s new?

The Token Limit is no longer a required field on the Copilot Admin page because this information is no longer required to enable Copilot.

We’ve also made the following changes to the Copilot Generative Candidate Card:

• The “Humorous” option under the Change Tone drop-down has been removed because the prompt has proven to be ineffective in recruiter workflows and doesn’t provide business value.
• The “Improve a Message” prompt has been removed because this prompt wasn’t providing accurate responses based on the data we were passing to the LLM. We are looking into potentially extending this functionality elsewhere in the application, where it would better apply to recruitment messaging workflows.
• The “Pitch [Candidate] To __” prompt has been renamed to “Pitch [Job] to [Candidate]” to more accurately describe what this prompt does.
  • Note: Only the name has changed. The same prompt will still be sent to the LLM.

Why does it matter?

We’ve made these changes to best service our customers’ adoption of the Copilot Generative Candidate Card and improve ease of use and confidence in the tool.

How do I enable this?

These feature enhancements do not require enablement and will be automatically applied for all clients with the Copilot Generative Candidate Card. Speak to your Account Manager to learn more about enabling Copilot.

Create Auto-Match Feature

What’s new?

Auto-Match automatically shows when credentials match a requirement. As a Compliance Specialist, you no longer need to manually match a Placement Certification with a Candidate’s Certification and instead, you can see auto-matches when applicable. This saves you time and effort managing many requirements for a candidate to start and remain working in a Placement.

When you save or edit a Placement Credential, you can see matches in the Compliance Manager Requirements list, the Placement Credential table on the Placement record, and the Placement Credential table on the Candidate record. After an auto-match occurs, you can make changes by selecting the Actions menu to either edit, delete the Certification Requirement, or remove the linked credential.

Note: Compliance Manager only matches credentials that are not expiring in the next 30 days after the Placement start date.

Why does it matter?

The enhancement to the credentialing workflow reduces the burden of manually matching credentials at each stage of the onboarding process and redeployment process. Using Auto-Match allows you to improve the speed to clear candidates and provide a stronger candidate experience by removing the request for duplicate credentials that already exist.

How do I enable this?

The feature is available by default. For a Credential to be able to be auto-matched, the Credential itself needs to have the following setup performed by a Client Admin:

• Credential Field Map: Credential isTransferable = TRUE
• Credentials Page Setting: Credential Transferable Status = YES

Novo Quick Search Dropdown: Saved Search

What’s new?

We’ve made improvements to the data that’s displayed for favorite searches in the following entity lists:

• Payable Charges
• Billable Charges
• Invoices
• Timesheets
• Compliance Manager

For these lists, you’ll now see “Saved” instead of “Favorites”. Saved searches will now include the search owner’s first and last name, and we’ve also added an icon to distinguish between public and private searches.

Old:

New:

Why does it matter?

This update makes it easier to see key criteria for saved searches, so you can quickly access desired searches.

How do I enable this?

This is automatically enabled for users that save searches for Payable Charges, Billable Charges, Invoices, Timesheets, and Compliance Manager Lists.

Target Release Date: April 4, 2024

Target Release Date: April 4, 2024

Data Replication: Hard-Delete Batch Job (from BBO) 

When timesheets are approved in BBO, the updates are handled correctly in Data Replication for accurate reporting. Previously, users with BBO Canvas who sync Timesheet and Invoice data to ATS experienced duplicate rows.

Distribution List: Distribution List Message

Previously, users selecting “Email All” from a distribution list didn’t see a warning on the Compose Message page that recipients on their list had either opted out or were missing email addresses. You will now be aware of when recipients won’t receive your e-mail messages.

Filtering: List Filtering on Entity Submissions Tab

We resolved an issue where, when using Multi Brand Job posting to Indeed, the Job was not correctly posted under the selected brand name but instead was under the Company’s name.

Indeed: Errors Impacting Certain Integration Activities

Certain errors were causing Indeed to flag and pause certain integration activities. These have been resolved.

Indeed: Multi Brand Indeed Posting

We resolved an issue where when using Multi Brand Job posting to Indeed the Job was not correctly posted under the selected brand name but instead was under the Companies name.

Novo: Character Counter on Text Fields

We resolved an issue where the character counter on text fields was not displaying anything when changes were made. This led to confusion about the character length of the text entered. With the recent update, users will now see the correct character count as they make changes to text fields.

Security Update for May Release

Since Bullhorn prioritizes the security of our products and our customers, we are applying updated security measures across our offerings. A key security enhancement in our 2024.5 May Release restricts the ability to accept HTML into our free text fields. If this change impacts any existing automations or customizations you have, we encourage you to contact Bullhorn support for assistance with any questions you may have.

Novo Platform and Design System Upgrade

What’s new?

The Bullhorn Novo Platform and design system, Novo Elements, have both been upgraded and include performance and maintainability improvements.

Why does it matter?

ATS and P&B clients will receive these updates automatically and can enjoy a faster system experience. We hope these changes showcase our commitment to continuously deliver a great user experience.

How do I enable this?

If you wish to upgrade your Novo Elements library version, please follow the upgrade process outlined on our official Novo Elements website.

Target Release Date: April 4, 2024

Note Added to Candidate Record on Failed Parse

What’s new?

When a candidate applies to a job through Indeed, and the resume is an image with no usable text, the ATS now adds a note on the candidate record directing the recruiter to view the attached resume in the candidate’s Files tab.

How do I enable this?

Available for all customers using the Indeed Apply integration.

Target Release Date: April 4, 2024

Credentialing: Editing Non-sensitive Credential File Types with the “Edit Certification File Attachment” Entitlement

Users with the “Edit Certification File Attachment” entitlement can now edit non-sensitive Credential File types. Previously, this functionality was not working when the user also had the “Preview Sensitive Certification File Attachment” entitlement disabled.

International Support: Special Characters in the “Name” Field

You can now make use of accented letters to name custom layouts properly. Previously, special characters were not saved for Custom Cards, Menu Actions, or List Buttons on any entity.

Parser: Parsing CVs Omits Apostrophes from Candidate Work History

Parsing CVs now includes apostrophes in the Candidate Work History. Previously, apostrophes were dropped in the Company Name and Job Title fields on the Work History tab after a resume had been parsed using the automatic resume parser Sovren version 10. 

Admin: User Login Auditing Reliability

You can now view reliable user login activity within the Admin > Users > User page as all sessions are accurately logged. Previously, some successful logins were not logged and additional user activity was incorrectly flagged as suspicious.

Notes: Notes Created from Emails Had Broken Links

An issue was resolved where editing Notes generated from emails in Bullhorn was stripping the link to the email upon saving.

Placement Commissions: Default Commissions Values 

The values for the System Settings variables ‘commissionRoleRecruiting’ and ‘commissionRoleSales’ are now respected. These variables allow you to define the default role title for the Recruiting and Sales commission recipients. Previously, the values for the variables were ignored and default values ‘Recruiting’ and ‘Sales’ were used.

Mass Download for Placement Requirements in the Requirements Checklist

What’s new?

In Compliance Manager, you can now select and download multiple placement requirement files on the Requirements Checklist within the Placement Requirements tab, to view various placement credential requirement files at one time. 

Why does it matter?

As a credentialing specialist, you can save time in your day-to-day tasks by reducing the number of steps you have to take to download placement requirement files. This productivity boost allows you to focus more on high-value, critical tasks instead of repetitive clicks.

How do I enable this?

Contact Bullhorn Support to ensure your users have the proper entitlements to enable this feature.

Mass Capability for Adding Placement Requirements and Updating Placement Credential Requirement Owner Fields

What’s new?

In Compliance Manager, you can now use checkboxes to add multiple Placement Requirements to a placement or update Placement Credential Requirement Owners en masse, streamlining your workflow when managing a high volume of placement requirements.

Why does it matter?

Credentialing Specialists no longer need to spend time and energy on multiple screens to add Placement Requirements or update Placement Credential Requirement Owners, since you can now update them in bulk on the Compliance Manager List View.

How do I enable this?

Contact Bullhorn Support to unlock additional entitlements needed to enable this feature.

Questionnaire Notes on Submission List View Slideout

What’s new?

You will now experience improved visibility of questionnaire notes directly within the slide-out of the submission list view.

Why does it matter?

This enhancement streamlines the review process, allowing you to access essential questionnaire notes conveniently without navigating away from the submission list view.

How do I enable this?

This is enabled by default and you do not need to take any action.

Pagination Added to Branding Field 

An issue with the integration between the BH ATS and the SEEK job posting module has been resolved. Previously, users were not able to access all of their branding/logo options if they had more than 100. The ATS now splits these into multiple pages, allowing access to them all.

Close Job When Adding Placements from Job Orders 

An issue was resolved where manually adding Placements from Job Orders was not respecting the closeJob selection. Previously, when manually adding a Placement from the Job order ACTIONS menu, the job was not closing when ‘YES’ was selected for the “Would you like to close this [JOB]?” question. Now, when using the workflow, the associated job will be set to ‘closed’. 

Entity Action Email Notifications 

An issue was resolved with the functionality of email notifications populated from entity actions that were impacting the workflows of Bullhorn users when communicating with others. Now, when a Bullhorn user adds any Internal Distribution List to an email notification from an entity action (such as adding or editing a Job, Submission, or Placement), the recipients of the notification will see the recipient list in the email, and an unsubscribe link will not be included in the title or message.

Pay and Bill Calculated Fields 

An issue was resolved that was causing an inability to accurately report Pay and Bill data. This was based on the limitations of hardware requirements to run the volume of transactions using triggers.

Candidate Reference Questions and Responses Added into Data Replication

Data Replication has been updated to show data changes to ATS Candidate Reference Questions and their responses in real-time. This change was made so that clients don’t have to wait for the nightly sync.

Document Deadline Field Now on Placement Records

To support Credentialing Specialists in managing credential requirements efficiently, Bullhorn is making the deadline for credentials required easily visible on a Placement record. Credentialing Specialists can now add a document deadline in the Placement record, which is then mapped to the Document Deadline column in the Compliance Manager dashboard. This column is now labeled Placement Document Deadline.

Enabled by Default.

Commission UserID Available

Users can now report on the BH_Commission.userID field on Placement Commissions in reports.

Enabled by default.

Refresh of “My Account Watch” Dashboard Card 

An issue was resolved that was causing the Pulse dashboard card “My Account Watch” to no longer load results. 

DREP 

Previously, the “SelfHealSnapshots” task was not on a separate thread from the replication, causing delays while the task was running. This issue has been resolved, as the task has now been moved to a separate thread.

One-click Unsubscribe

A one-click unsubscribe header has been added to all emails being sent as a Mass Mail type from the Compose Message page. This was added to align with policies of email providers. 

Note & Email Template Filter to Grab Templates on Load

The Message Templates filter for Notes and Emails has been updated to show the 200 most recently modified templates without having to type in the search bar. This functionality has been added to each category –  My Templates, My Department Templates, All Templates – as a quicker way to find recent templates. 

Generally Available

Note Templates Duplicated in REST Response and UI 

An issue was resolved where note and email templates were showing duplicate templates in the search results under the “My Department Templates” and “All Templates” category filters.

Enabled by Default.

Novo-Elements v9

The Bullhorn design system, Novo Elements, has been upgraded to version 9. This major version release includes performance and maintainability improvements for easier use. For more information, please refer to the Novo Elements website.

Availability: The Novo platform .12 release will include these changes. External consumers who wish to upgrade their Novo Elements library version should follow the upgrade process outlined on our Novo Elements website.

Self Heal Email Report

Previously, the Self Heal Email report was only being sent when it failed to heal a record three times in a row. The report has now been enhanced so that it is sent daily in all instances.

Custom Objects On All Entities Above 10 Aren’t Searchable 

An issue was resolved where users with 11 or more Custom Objects could only search the first 10 Custom Objects listed. This fix will allow users to search for all of their added Custom Objects on the Candidate, Contact, and Company entities. Other entities did not have this issue given there are no more than 10 custom objects.

Availability: User’s utilizing more than 10 custom objects on the Candidate, Contact, and Company entities.

Merge PDF Support on Compliance Manager Requirements Checklist

We’ve added the ability to create merged PDFs for multiple candidate credentials within the Compliance Manager Requirements Checklist. This new functionality will allow credentialing specialists to stay within the Compliance Manager to use the existing function of creating PDFs of credentials to send to client contacts or keep for their records to remain in compliance.

Availability:  Users must have the “Create Merge PDF” and “View Certification File Attachment” usertype permissions.

An issue was resolved where searching against the Date Added or the Date Last Modified fields on Job records was not always returning the correct results due to an issue with how search handled different time zones.

An issue was resolved within the preview slideout for files. Previously, users were unable to scroll horizontally. Now, users are able to view large files by scrolling horizontally in the preview slideout.

An issue was resolved where the Requirements Checklist would have to be re-opened when navigating to a different page in the ATS and back to the Compliance Manager Dashboard.

When expanding a Placement credential card, compliance specialists can now access their specific Placement requirement’s edit history. This will allow the specialists the ability to quickly track changes for Placement requirements without leaving the Compliance Manager.

Compliance specialists can now quickly add, edit, and view notes for a given candidate on a specific placement certification card by expanding it from the requirements checklist on the compliance manager list. This allows them to more quickly align candidates to requirements and get candidates to work faster.

A new System Setting (configurable by Bullhorn Administrators) labeled “Secondary Owner Candidate Record Access“ was added to allow secondary owner(s) in the secondaryOwner field on a Candidate record to view associated Placement and Submission records across their organization’s departments.

The look and functionality of searching for note and email templates have been enhanced throughout ATS. Previously, a user was limited to searching only the first 200 recently updated templates. Now, when a user goes to select a note or email template, users can search for the following without that 200 template limitation:

• My Templates: Private or Public templates that user created
• Department Templates: Private templates owned by the user, and Public templates available to users in their department
• All templates: Private templates owned by the user, and Public department templates owned by other users in their ATS

Once a user begins typing to search for their templates, the user can scroll through their results expanding well beyond the previous 200 template view limitation.

An issue was resolved with the SEEK Job Posting integration. Previously, currency defaulted to AUD regardless of job region. Now users can select the correct currency type. This ensures that within the job posting on SEEK’s website, the pay scale corresponds with the proper currency option.

An issue was resolved where dropdowns were missing scrollbars on lists. This issue primarily affected all entity submission lists and the candidate file list. Users will now be able to select any options from the list.

An issue was resolved with direct deposit flowback. Previously, an error would occur during direct deposit flowback when the Remainder Deposit Type Account did not have the highest “Payment Order” number. Now, direct deposit flowback occurs successfully.

A French translation issue seen on the pop-up modal when a Candidate is moved to “rejected” status in the Submission tab has been resolved.

The “Starts and Ends” dashboard card was updated so that German users see the text “Start & Ende” rather than “Anfnge & Enden”. We have updated the “My Activity” dashboard card so that German users see the text “Meine Aktivitäten” rather than “Meine Aktivitt”. To see these updates, users must remove and re-add the cards to their dashboard.

An issue was resolved where several French translation issues were seen on Certifications within Novo.

An issue was resolved where the “Last Published Date” would always reflect the Eastern Time Zone. The “Last Published Date” on a job now respects the user’s time zone.

An issue was resolved causing custom date field values on a submitted placement change request to show the current date on the “Field Changes” overview when a user submits a blank value. Now, custom date fields will display the correct user-selected value when viewing submitted changes of a Placement Change Request.
