Features
Authorizations
Added the new column ‘Delete After Date’ and the commands ‘Update’, ‘Upsert’, ‘UpdateOne’, and ‘UpsertOne’ to the Authorization Flexible CSV Import
Created a new batch process to allow the deletion of multiple authorizations without assignment details
Business Rules
Added a new ‘Origin’ value of ‘Company Risk’. Using this value, specific conditions in a Business Rule will only be validated if run within the context of a ‘Project Risk’ calculation
Execution history has a new process value named ‘Company Risk’. This is reserved for Business Rules being executed within the context of a Risk Assessment
Company Settings
New section added to the Company screen allowing users to select a default Business Rule to be run when assessing ‘Permanent Establishment Risk’ for Projects for that company
Compensation Worksheets
Users now have the option to batch create Retroactive Compensation Worksheets
Cost Estimates
Improved the performance of Cost Estimates that depend on multiple user reports. Note this also improves the performance of Assignment Packages and Batches containing these Cost Estimates
Previously, Cost Estimate and Compensation Calculation report batches configured to be delivered by email as a secure attachment would fail to send. This has now been resolved
Corrected a scenario where Cost Estimates would fail for Frontier Workers
Ecosystem
In this release we have added the following vendors:
Hessel (one-way standard connection)
Email Integration
From this release Oauth2 authentication will be used when a user imports an email from an Exchange Online mailbox to AssignmentPro
Expense Management
Logic and requirements to submit expenses have been updated. From this release:
It is not possible to submit a line item with a ‘0.00’ or null amount
Landing Experience
Corrected a scenario where a change to a user’s security rights would only take effect once any widgets utilizing the ‘Refresh Time Override (Hours)’ setting were refreshed
Fixed a scenario where Boolean context fields did not display their default comparison value that was set on the user report
Corrected an issue with the Tasks and Reminders widget where completing a task would break links to other tasks on the widget
Results in custom Map widgets on the Landing Experience now load correctly
New User Interface
The new AssignmentPro user interface is now live on all sites
The logo area on the left navigation menu was improved
The space between the links and grids containing logs was optimized
To improve our Accessibility score, updates have been made to the color contrast of some components
Manual keyboard navigation through components of pages has been enhanced
Pay Register
Pay registers that are deselected and not approved will now appear in a new Pay Register Approval Batch so they can be approved
Payroll Portal
Users now have the option to make additional documents visible and downloadable to external payroll portal users. Documents marked as visible on the Payroll Portal will now show on a new dedicated screen. Note, users should have access to the same Payroll System of a specific assignment
The two new visible options for Payroll Portal (‘home/host’) can also be referenced in other areas of AssignmentPro via the new table ‘DOCUMENT_PAYROLL_VISIBILITY’
Projects
Added a ‘Permanent Establishment Risk’ section to the Projects screen allowing users to assess risk for Projects. A risk value can be calculated either:
On the screen using a Business Rule or manual override
Via a Quick Workflow
The risk value can also be audited both on the Project screen and via ‘View History’ (for more detailed information)
Pulse Checks
Submitted responses that are mapped to the ‘Assignment From’ or ‘To Country’ fields will now also update the corresponding ‘Assignment From’ or ‘To Currency’ fields to align with the currency that is configured for the applicable country
When mapping responses where a blank hierarchical drop-down list response is submitted, the target field should now be replaced with a null value
Corrected a scenario where Pulse Checks with Company Segment level responses would revert to ‘Please Select’ when no hierarchy was setup
Pulse checks with a closing message now correctly clear from the MEE task section after being submitted
Corrected a scenario where SQL look-up Pulse Check responses displayed the ID or code instead of the response selected from the drop-down list on the MEE
Pulse Check questions with a prepopulated or mapped submitted response will now no longer display inactive look-up values
Quick Workflows
Added a new Quick Workflow automation option to calculate Permanent Establishment Risk for a specific project
Single Sign On
Corrected an issue with SSO initiation through an external approval
Tax Calculation
Users can now import the standard ‘Mercer Hypo Tax data’ with multiple tax files for Germany
User Reports
Fixed a scenario when creating and editing user reports, where a blank text box was displaying next to the comparison value field causing an error and stopping the report from running
Vendor Integration
Requests for Service Orders will now retry if a Note/Communication record is stuck in the ‘Sending’ status. Note, the number of retries can be configured via a System Preference
