We are pleased to announce that Sales Quotas is now Generally Available! This feature allows you to track your users’ individual quarterly sales quotas and measure their performance relative to those quotas, making adjustments throughout the quarter as necessary. You manage this information both on the Goals and Quotas list view and via the Sales Performance dashboard card, located both on My Dashboard and the Opportunity dashboard.

To enable this feature, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that this feature measures Quota performance against Opportunities and is available in Enterprise Edition only.

We have made an enhancement to note-related email notifications to include opportunity references in the subject and body of the emails.
When an opportunity is referenced in a note and you choose to send an email notification for the note, the ID number of the referenced opportunity now appears in the subject of the email, and a link to the opportunity record appears in the email body. If you reference multiple opportunities in the note, the email subject denotes that there are multiple references, and the email body contains links to all of the referenced records.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding the wrong status updating when you made inline edits on the Submission list.

You are now able to modify workflow icons via System Settings! Workflow icons display across the top of lead, candidate, contact, company, opportunity, and job records and represent the key stages of the entity’s lifecycle (e.g., Prescreen, Internal Submission, Client Submission, etc.)

To learn more about how to configure these settings, view the Understanding Workflow System Settings article.

After opening a record from a list, have you ever thought to yourself, “it would be great if I could go to the next record in the list without navigating back to the list.” Well, now you can! After opening a record from a list, you will see Previous and Next navigation links on the record page. The navigation links remember the list you opened the record from, and allows you to navigate through those records without returning to the list view.

As of this release, Previous/Next Navigation is available on Candidate, Company, Contact, and Lead records. More record types are coming soon!

We’ve enhanced the Flagged Emails card to allow you to view emails without a subject. Previously, if an email without a subject was flagged, you were unable to access the message from the Flagged Emails card because there was no hyperlinked subject line to click on. Now, the subject line for these emails display as (No subject) so that you can open them.

Candidates, contacts, and leads that receive a Bullhorn mass mailing now see information on how to unsubscribe more prominently (i.e., in a darker color) at the bottom of the email.

We’ve made an enhancement to Bullhorn for Mobile that allows you to access records by tapping on links in Bullhorn-related emails. Assuming you have your Default View on Mobile Device preference set to mobile, when you receive an email on your mobile device about, for example, a new candidate being added to the system, you can go directly to the candidate’s record in the mobile application by tapping on the associated link in the email.

Other examples include:

• Note references pertaining to jobs, contacts, leads, and candidates

• Adding/editing leads, opportunities, contacts, jobs, placements, and candidates

• Candidate submissions

We’ve enhanced Blueprint to allow you to filter known and unknown people by their title.
To request this feature, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that Blueprint is available with Enterprise Edition only.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding email activity and merged records. Previously, when you merged two records in Bullhorn, email activity on the secondary record did not appear on the primary record after the merge was completed. Now, all email activity that took place on the secondary record displays correctly on the primary record.

We’ve fixed the issue with duplicate note creation (showing up both on the Notes tab and Last 10 Notes widget) when adding notes via Bullhorn for Mobile or Quick Note.

In the February release, we enhanced the Expected Close Date column for Opportunities to include more flexible filter/search criteria such as This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Month, Last Month, etc. In this release (April), we’ve added two new options, Next Month and Next Quarter, to the filter/search criteria.

Also, when performing an additional criteria search on the Expected Close Date column, you can now further refine your search by selecting a specific date or date range: Before, After, Equals, and Is Between.

To make it easier to add appointments using Bullhorn for Mobile, we’ve changed the required fields from Subject, Type, Date Begin, Date End, Location, and Description to only Subject and Date Begin (which matches the required fields when adding an appointment from the desktop application).

We are excited to announce our new Goals & Quotas feature, now in open beta! This new list view gives you the ability to set up quarterly quotas on a per-user basis, as well as monitor performance against those quotas so you can make adjustments throughout the quarter as necessary.

This feature also offers a new Sales Performance Dashboard card that displays total quota, revenue, and number of deals for the quarter, as well as the top 25 performing users.

Please contact Product Management if you would like to participate in the beta program. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.

We’ve enhanced your mobile browsing experience by allowing you to indicate which version of Bullhorn is launched when accessed from a mobile device or tablet: Desktop or Mobile. This new setting appears on the Preferences page (provided you have Bullhorn for Mobile enabled on your account).

NPS is now out of Beta and generally available! If you are a Corporate or Enterprise Edition customer and do not currently have access to NPS, please contact support for enablement.

Additionally, you can now select responses on the NPS Responses list and export them as a CSV file.

We’ve made an enhancement to the Flagged Emails Pulse card. Previously, only administrators could define trigger words and doing so would apply them to the card for your entire company. Now, all users can define these words for their own cards on the Preferences page.

For more information about the Flagged Emails card (and other Pulse cards), view the Understanding Bullhorn Pulse article. To request this card, contact Bullhorn Support. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.

We’ve enhanced your tearsheet lists by adding the ability to view records at 50 rows per page.

We’ve updated the client login page with our new logo and branding.

We’ve updated Bullhorn for Mobile’s text editor to address some usability-related issues that were prohibiting Bullhorn users from truly taking advantage of the mobile platform. With the upgrade, we’ve fixed issues ranging from the incorrect display of formatted text to not being able to actually enter text into a field. Additionally, the upgraded editor is also now supported on the following devices/browsers:

• iPhone (iOS 8 or later) using Safari or Chrome.

• iPad (iOS 8 or later) using Safari or Chrome).

• Devices running the Android operating system (version 4.4.2 or later) using Chrome.

We’ve enhanced the internal user picker field to include more information about each user; so your colleagues are more easily identifiable. Now, in addition to first and last name, the picker includes the user’s title, location, email address, phone number, and primary department.

We’ve enhanced the Expected Close Date column for Opportunities with more flexible filter/search criteria in order to give you greater control when filtering/searching on that column. The new filter/search options are as follows: This Year, Last Year, This Quarter, Last Quarter, This Month, Last Month, This Week, Last Week.

These new options are available both on the column itself on the Opportunity list, as well as from the Expected Close Date additional criteria field on the Opportunity search. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.

The ID# of a lead is now a hyperlink to the record on the Leads List. This enhancement was made to ensure that lead records are still accessible even if a first and last name are not entered. Note that this feature is available to clients with Enterprise Edition only.

Employment Type is now visible for jobs in the drop-downs for Faster Find and the Jobs picker, making it easier to identify the correct job when performing a search.

Bullhorn now gives you the ability to mark files stored on candidate, contact, company, opportunity, job, and placement records as private, and share those files with specific users. On the Files tab for each of these record types, there is a new column labeled Visibility. This column, which can be sorted and filtered like the other columns on the tab, displays either Public or Private, denoting whether a file is visible to all users (assuming they can see the record) or not. For more information on private files, click here.

The Comments field on the Edit Submission page is now an HTML editor field, just as it appears on the Add Submission page, instead of just a simple text block.

Our status page has been updated with a new look and new functionality. You can now subscribe to updates via email, SMS, or RSS. Click here for more information on this page.

We’ve fixed the formatting issue regarding the default message signature and text format. Previously, the font text format options set in Preferences were not always respected in email messages (both when composing and on the recipient’s end). Now, font formatting set in preferences, for both email creation and on the receiving end, are consistent.

In a previous release, we addressed an issue where applying a filter to a column, clearing that filter, applying a different filter, and then saving the search as a favorite would save the search with the initial filter applied. However, this fix only worked if the “Clear” button in the upper-right corner of the list view page was used to clear the initial filter, rather than using the smaller Clear button within the column header itself. In this release, we have addressed the latter, and favorite searches will no longer save with cached column filters, regardless of how those filters are cleared.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding a contact’s full address not displaying on the summary card in the Bullhorn for Mobile app, even when it was included in the Mobile View Layout. Now, the full address appears when and where it should.

We’ve resolved the issue regarding either an “HTTP Error 414 – The request URL is too long” or “400 Bad Request” that appeared when users attempted to perform a mass record action after a large, complex keyword search. Now, the mass actions can be completed successfully.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding the open/done button on the Task List Preview Slideout not displaying correctly. Previously, even when a task was complete, the button would incorrectly say “Open” and display “Reopen” when hovered over. Now, open tasks show an “Open” button and display “Complete” when hovered over and  completed tasks show a “Done” button and display “Reopen” when hovered over.

We’ve fixed the issue with the Task Due Date field times not saving in your correct timezone. Now, when you save a time, the saved value reflects the timezone in which you are located.

We’ve fixed the issue regarding inconsistent task reminder emails. Previously, not all tasks were sending corresponding reminder emails to owners and assignees; now, all reminders are being sent when they should.

Similar to what we can already display for jobs, you can now add an opportunities “component” to the company record Overview tab using the View Layout, so that you can easily see up to ten opportunities associated with a particular company.

Note: This is an Enterprise-only feature.

You can now view all leads associated with a company on the Contacts tab of company records! Simply use the new toggle to see only contacts, only leads, or both.

Note: This is an Enterprise-only feature.

We’ve enhanced a very important feature of Bullhorn: password security. Now, when a user attempts to change their password (either when prompted by the system because it expired or by their own choosing), Bullhorn prevents them from using any recent passwords. By default, this will be their last five passwords, including their current password. To increase the number of recent passwords that cannot be reused in order to better comply with your company’s specific password policy, contact Bullhorn Support. To learn more about Bullhorn’s password security measures, view our Changing your Password documentation.
