Product update notes, links, and descriptions.
Include "No Action Required" as a Submitted Status
An issue was identified where an employee’s document submitted status was not updating to 100% in a specific scenario.
Scenario Required:
- Client Docs feature enabled
- Employee not required to take action on affected document
If the above scenario was met and the employee document was submitted the submitted status would not update to 100%.
In these cases, the approved status would properly update to 100% when all documents were approved. This issue has been resolved, and submitted and approved status percentages are updating correctly.
Surcharge Profile Updated to Allow 4 Decimal Places
You are now able to create surcharge profiles with up to four decimal places. You are also able to manually add a surcharge with four decimal places to an invoice. Rounding rules will now apply to the fourth decimal, instead of the second.
Reports Latency
An issue has been identified where administrators attempting to run reports with an employee dropdown were seeing latency and timeouts with the reports. Stability improvements have been added to these reports by changing the employee dropdown to a type-ahead picker.
BBO/Onboarding API Now Includes Data Export
Bullhorn Back Office and Onboarding is excited to announce a new, more flexible framework for the implementation of custom data exports from Back Office and Onboarding. Our Professional Services and Engineering Support Teams are enabled to develop and maintain these exports. Any data available in the Back Office and Onboarding platforms are available via custom data export. An API has also been made available to programmatically invoke the custom data exports. Associated API calls are in place to retrieve the data export in a CSV file format.
Task List User Count
We fixed an issue that occurs when applying filters to a task list, such as “My Tasks” or “My Departments Tasks”. This displays a user count on the Users drop down on the Task List and clearing the filter would result in still displaying the previous count. Now, after clearing filters, the User count gets reset correctly.
Task Reminders on Inline Edit or Mass Update
We fixed an issue that occurs upon a task due date being updated via the list view. The system was not correctly updating reminders sent out about the task after the change was made. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and task reminders will update as expected.

Placement List Display
We fixed an issue where after enabling the Starts & Ends dashboard card and changing the position of the Job column on the Placement List, the Placement List would not load data. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and the Placement List will load as expected.
Time to Fill/Submit Dashboard Card Showing Incorrect Response Time Data
We fixed an issue wherein the “Response Times” Job dashboard card values for Time to Fill and Time to Submit were being calculated including jobs without submissions or placements. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and jobs without any submissions or placements will be excluded from the calculations.
Leading and Trailing Spaces in Email Fields
We fixed an issue wherein if an email address was entered into an email field on a record and that email address contained a leading or trailing space this would cause issues with mass mailing or composing a message within Bullhorn. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and the system will ignore any leading or trailing spaces in the email fields.
Select / Mini Picker Display
We fixed an issue regarding fields with an edit type of either Select or Mini-Picker where these fields were displaying an incorrect value when the value should have appeared as blank. Instead the blank value would appear as the first value from the total list of available values. This appeared on Job and Company record overviews. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and the fields now display correctly on their respective overviews.
Pin Color Inconsistent on Pinned Records
We have fixed an issue where after pinning a record and switching between tabs (For example, switching between edit and activity) the blue pin color would get reset to black. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and the pin color stays blue when switching between tabs on a pinned record.
Leads and Opportunities on Merged Companies
We have enhanced the company merge process to include leads and opportunities. Upon receiving the latest release this means when two companies are merged in the system, any leads and/or opportunities that are visible on the secondary company will be moved to the primary company when the records are merged.
SalesDuel – TV View
We’re excited to announce the addition of TV View to SalesDuel! With TV View, we’ve optimized the display of SalesDuel standings and results for televisions and large screens. Customers can now maximize team visibility into SalesDuel activity using dedicated or shared displays.

Each recipient can be assigned their own fields to fill in and sign on each document. Additionally, two new completion/approval workflows have been added. This new functionality is perfect for firms who regularly require signatures from a third party in addition to a candidate, like umbrella companies or limited service companies.

Field Restrictions Not Being Honored In Employee Login
We fixed an issue where not all restrictions being placed on fields were being honored when an Employee logged in to update fields. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and restrictions put in place will be honored as expected.
Unsubmitted Timesheet Report Timeout
We fixed an issue where occasionally the Unsubmitted Timesheet Report would time out when the data set was very large. We have changed the format of this report from XLS to CSV. Upon receiving the latest release this issue will be resolved and the report will export as expected.

When the administrator sends the email as part of a team-based tournament, the email is sent to all team owners as well as any player who is on a team (note that the email is not sent to players who did not get drafted). When the administrator sends the email as part of an individual-based tournament, the email is sent to every player who was added to the tournament, regardless of their level of participation.
The recap email includes information such as the name of the tournament, the user who won and the number of points they accrued, the user who is designated as the MVP and the statistic that earned them that designation, and the second and third runners up in the tournament. The email also includes a button that enables the reader to view the full tournament stats within SalesDuel.
