Accounts
Fixed a scenario where the account subtype dropdown list was displaying incorrect values
Assignment Packages
Corrected a scenario where Authorization Requests that required the user to manually build Assignment Packages were not processing the Effective Date correctly for browsers that formatted dates as DD/MM/YYYY
API
Added âSOURCE_SYSTEM_TEXT_KEYâ and âSOURCE_SYSTEMâ columns to remaining AssignmentPro API tables so users can add their own external ID to records
Made performance improvements for the People, Document, and AirInc API
Checklists
The Company Checklist page is now available for external portal users
Company Checklists now support:
Merging data from a backing user report to the Name, Description, and Milestone fields
Automatically assigning Checklist tasks to project and company contacts when a task starts
Linking tasks to company pages
Project contacts and company contacts can now be identified as the tasks and reminders contact for company Checklist tasks
Corrected a scenario where a generic error was displayed on Checklists when the resource was not valid and replaced the generic error with an explanation
Comp Accumulator
Corrected a scenario where the Comp Accumulation Control Panel would timeout and prevent users from starting the process. Processing details are now included in the log event to enable troubleshooting
Cost Estimates
Fixed a scenario with Cost Estimates where E4C hypothetical income taxes were incorrectly adjusting for social security when the option âAdjust for social security, if eligibleâ is unchecked
Solved a problem where Cost Estimates would error when calculating certain hypothetical tax line items
Documents
Fixed an issue where users without full page rights would sometimes be unable to access the Assignment Documents page
File Import Service
Resolved a problem where a High Import ID and Windows Event Log caused the Import Service to stop and could not be restarted
Imports
We changed the behavior for the universal and generic import to prevent users from importing to the assignment inactive field
Corrected a scenario where undone imports incorrectly appeared to be successful. Now users will see a helpful status of âFailed With Errorsâ when an undo fails
Integrations
Added a new System Preference for Web API Sender Batch Processing that enables timing adjustment for the sending of outbound vendor integration requests
Landing Experience
Corrected a scenario where assignment links were not redirecting to the relevant assignment in the Tasks and Reminders widget and Checklists
Mobile Employee Experience
Date fields on the MEE now have a date picker user interface on mobile devices
Resolved an issue where external links did not redirect correctly in the MEE
Notes/Communications
Added additional security enhancements to HTML encoded email integration records
Pay Register Approval Batches
Corrected a scenario where Pay Register Approval Batches included Pay Register Approvals for all companies instead of the selected company
Production Reports
Corrected a scenario where state wages were miscalculated when a manual tax authority adjustment existed
Corrected a scenario where US and Canada Historical Payroll Reports did not include tax assistance or withholding adjustments when a payroll system was selected as a parameter
Relocation Policies
Now when a user copies a Relocation Policy from a different Company, only fields that were populated from the System level will copy over so there isnât incorrect information shared between companies
Solved a problem where manually accepted exceptions inside relocation policies were giving concurrency errors
Rich Text Editor
Corrected a scenario where the rich text editor was adding unnecessary spacing when users edited content in areas such as the body field of email/note communications or the description field in checklist templates
Security Enhancements
Added additional security options to external routing for approvals (Authorizations, Assignment Extensions, Policy Field Exceptions and Core Flex Policy Field Exception):
Usage of SSO to authenticate users that approve routed requests. Users then need to be on a valid SSO session to approve
Usage of Login/Password to authenticate AssignmentPro users that do not have an SSO session
Make sure only approvers can approve and the âdelegate to approveâ option is restricted
User Reports
Fixed some issues when downloading a user report as an â.xlsxâ file:
Blank dates in some cells in a column would cause the format to display as Text instead of the Date format, resulting in unexpected filters when looking at data in excel
Hidden fields were incorrectly displaying data resulting in users not seeing expected data
Special characters were being converted to the named character reference resulting in users seeing the reference for a variety of characters
Data was being converted to the wrong format resulting in leading zeros being dropped or an overflow error message
SQL fields that use custom formatting caused dates to display incorrectly resulting in users not seeing expected data
Incorrect formatting was shown when viewing results
Reverted the name of the view âAssignment Derived Calculations (view)â to "Assignment Derived Calculationsâ as it was causing errors in user reports with Custom SQL fields that referenced the view
Corrected a scenario where filters that contain date fields were not saving correctly when changed
User Tables
Corrected a scenario where User Table fields did not save correctly when display names were swapped
What-If Cost Estimates
Added a group estimate feature to What-If Cost Estimates allowing them to be staffed by more than one individual and produce results in a Group Summary Report. The WICE page has been updated to distinguish between the individual and group estimates
A work pattern/arrangement feature has been added to capture the work time split between home and host countries. This more accurately captures the work time spent in host country to produce a more precise estimate. The work pattern can be captured on both individual and group What-if Cost Estimates via two new fields: âWork time in Host Countryâ and âWork time in Home Countryâ. Note, these fields are defaulted to 100 and 0 respectively, which indicates that 100% of the worktime is in the host country
A new Group Summary report displays the line-item section totals (all years) for each role specified in the estimate
Introduced a new system preference to âEnable some Cost Estimate duration variables to calculate using the rounded number methodologyâ. When set to âYesâ, behavior is the same as previous releases. When set to âNoâ, precision is increased by allowing partial months using the exact dates selected. Note the default setting for the preference is âYesâ
Added a new field âInclude Home Work-Time Costs?â to the What-If Cost Estimate tab of the Cost Estimate template. This displays total costs on the What-If Cost Estimate report when an assignee splits their worktime between the home and the host country. When this field is selected, the What-if Cost Estimate will show all costs relating to the host worktime, in addition to the base compensation and home country tax costs relating to the home worktime
Corrected a scenario where cities did not show up in the What-If Cost Estimates (WICE) âToâ and âFrom Cityâ drop down lists
Widgets
Corrected a scenario where users could not edit the âDue Withinâ days on the Tasks and Notifications dashboard widget
