People
- Added “Notes” tab – Cannot edit/delete own notes
- All mandatory Fields starred
- Start Date now none mandatory
- Date fields no longer default to 1-Jan-1970 if left empty
- Internal Use Only now can be dates or numbers (rather than just dropdowns or text)
- Internal Use Only now can have validation applied (min/max/step/pattern)
- Starter Audit modal looks better
- ESR Edit/Audit – all sections look better
- Locations dropdown now in alphabetical order
- Pre-Employment Checks dropdown now in alphabetical order
- Ability to toggle Mail Merge values
- CSV Template Download Option
- CSV Upload Option – Note: This does NOT mark as complete, as doing so trips all the mail merge documents, send emails, set up reminders, etc – and so would not work if you were trying to upload lots of starters at once, it’ll be SLOW. Short of a fundamental reworking of how Tasks are handled and managed we CANNOT complete the uploaded Starters. Full Stop.
