Users can now hover over a field in the Scheduler Configuration area to view that field’s full name if that particular field’s name is not fully visible.

“You have unsaved changes” Warning Incorrectly Displayed on Placement Edit Tab

Parse as Existing Does not Fire REST Triggers
Resolved an issue that caused the REST trigger to not function properly when on the “Parse as existing” screen.
Novo Upgraded to Angular 13
We are updating our Novo UI and its supporting novo-elements library to Angular 13. This update allows us to continue offering a streamlined and consistent experience across Bullhorn’s complete product portfolio. This update includes both an Angular upgrade, as well as supporting typescript updates. You can find more details at novo-elements version 7 announcement.
These changes will only impact customers with 3rd party customizations, and partners that utilize the novo-elements library. There is no action needed for customers who do not have customizations.

Email Delegation Dropdown Updated to Show More Entries
When a recruiter sends an email to a candidate they can choose to send the email on behalf of any of their email delegations. Previously, we only displayed the first 15 entries from the email delegation field in User Settings, limiting what the user could select.

Read Only Distribution Lists
An issue that allowed users who were not owners of a read-only distribution list to remove records has been resolved.

Improved Phone Number Parsing
We have taken advantage of Sovren v10’s updated phone parsing capabilities and will now be able to process and store multiple phone numbers from the candidate resume. The first phone number on a resume will be parsed as the Mobile phone. The second phone number, if one is provided, will be parsed into the Home Phone Number field.

Selecting/Deselecting When Filtering/Sorting File Lists
We enhanced the record selection process on the Novo files tab so that when users select file records, the records will remain selected when paginating, filtering, and sorting. This will allow users to interact with these records and action on them across multiple pages and data sets. Please note that selecting records un mass and actioning on them is limited to up to 500 records.
Entity Record Counts Affecting Page Load
We have implemented a new “loading” animation to the related record count headers and allow the page to load before all record counts are returned. This should allow for faster page loads for entities with a large number of related records.
