v.2022.25 (12/15/2022)
In this sprint, we fully dedicated ourselves to the planned developments in the employee portal and accordingly did not implement any new features this time.
v2022.24 (12/01/2022)
Better |
Notes to the appearance of a portal article To make it clear when a selected portal article appears, we have added a note in the task and in the task template. 
|
Fixed |
Form fields with few letters Form field names with less than 3 letters are now also accepted. |
v2022.23 (11/17/2022)
| NEW |
What's next We are currently working on major developments in the background. You should definitely have a look in our What's next to get an idea what we are planning for the future! |
v2022.22 (11/03/2022)
| Better |
Statistical data when deleting onboardings Once an onboarding is completed, it is usually deleted from the system for data protection reasons. Until now, you have not had the option to decide whether you want to keep the statistical data of an oboarding to use it later for data analysis in your reports. Statistical data is not personal (e. g. Reason for hire, Task creation date, Task due date). Deleted onboardings cannot be restored. Typically, you will always want to keep the statistical data for your reports. However, if you have created fake onboardings for testing purposes, you would not want to keep the statistical data, otherwise your reports would be inaccurate. We have added "Yes/No" radio buttons to the modal window for onboarding deletion and a hint text as well. 
|
v2022.21 (10/20/2022)
| Better |
Bulk deletion of tasks Sometimes you find that certain onboarding tasks are not necessary or no longer needed for an onboarding process. From now on, you can also delete such tasks in bulk. Deleting multiple tasks of an onboarding Open the Tasks tab of an onboarding and select the desired tasks to be deleted.  Then, click the -button und click Delete Selected.  An overview of the task titles will be displayed. If you agree, confirm the deletion by clicking the Delete Selected button.  Delete tasks of different onboardings Open the Onboardings page. On the Dashboard, open the Tasks tab. If necessary, set filters to limit the number of tasks displayed. Select the desired tasks. Then, click the -Button and click Delete Selected.  An overview of the task titles and names of onboardees will be displayed. If you agree, confirm the deletion by clicking the Delete Selected button. 
|
| Better |
Finding onboardees faster In version 2022.20, we have moved the "Find Onboardee" field in the onboarding filter to the very top, so you do not need to scroll. From now on, as soon as you open the filter, the Find Onboardee field is activated, enabling you to start typing immediately. 
|
v2022.20 (10/06/2022)
| Better |
Contentless portal articles in the employee portal Every now and then, you create a portal article that you assign a descriptive title to (e. g. "Benefits") but that does not require any content. Previously, articles without content were not displayed in the employee portal. We took a closer look at this behavior and decided to display portal articles of this type in the portal as well.  
|
| Better |
Filtering of onboardings When filtering onboardings, you often want to look up the onboardee. Until now, this filter was located at the very bottom under the name "Onboardee". We have renamed this filter to "Find Onboardee" and moved it to the very top so you do not have to scroll anymore. The behavior of the filter remains unchanged: the search is already carried out by the first letters of the first or last name. 
|
v2022.19 (09/22/2022)
| NEW |
Hint for comments on completed tasks When you write a comment to a completed task, the system will automatically inform you which responsibilities will be notified separately about your comment. You can also configure the recipients of a task comment in the editing mode of a task, in the field Notify When Done.  
|
| Better |
Hints in input fields Gray hints in input fields will now be automatically hidden from view as soon as you have clicked into the field. By that, you will no longer be visually disturbed by these hints when entering your content. This behavior has been improved system-wide.  
|
v2022.18 (09/08/2022)
| NEW |
Correspondence templates can be copied Onboarding correspondence templates can be similar in structure and differ mainly in content, e. g. in details about location or team. From now on, there is no need to manually copy this content from one template to the other, because we have implemented the feature of copying correspondence templates. Feel free to give it a try! 
|
| Fixed |
Portal tasks in the employee portal There was one case when neither newly created nor overdue portal tasks were displayed in the employee portal. The technical error was discovered an fixed in time. |
v2022.17 (08/25/2022)
| NEW |
Form fields of additional information as placeholders Master data of an onboardee and additional information , e. g., the shoe or t-shirt size can be entered from now on by placeholder in tasks (in task description). The placeholder's name will be generated for you automatically once you have created or edited the form field.  CautionWe recommend that you do not enter any sensitive data in the form field. The content may also be sent to external recipients (outside the system) and visible without a viewing permission for the field. If you still want to enter sensitive data, it is best to consult your data protection officer beforehand. |
Hotfix (08/12/2022)
Unfortunately, an irregularity occurred in the display of the time of the first working day of onboardees. We have corrected the misbehavior, but the incorrect display of the time for the first working day of onboardees may still occur.
Important
Please edit the start time on the first day for all onboardees created between 07/28/22 to 08/12/22 or for which the start time was edited during this period.
v2022.16 (08/11/2022)
| Better |
Comment at the hand over appears in the onboarding history The comment you wrote down in the hand over of an application to the onboarding is now displayed in the onboarding history. This means that information and notes from recruiting that are relevant for onboarding can be viewed in a central location. |
| Better |
Personal data in tasks In the mask for creating and modifying a task, we have added a note requesting that no personal data be used in the task title for data protection reasons. This is important because the task title is output for reporting purposes in the reporting API and is therefore not automatically deleted when data is reduced or deleted.
|
| Better |
Filtering by task title improved From now on it doesn't matter if you capitalize or lowercase the task title when filtering tasks. They will be displayed in the search results in any case.
|
| Better |
Improved receipt of answered emails If there is a reply to a assigned task or a sent comment via email, the feedback is now received in the d.vinci Onboarding inbox. |
| Fixed |
Naming the employee portal settings The heading of the employee portal is now also named as you have named it when editing the data. A technical term had crept in here.
|
v2022.15 (07/28/2022)
| Better |
Correspondence for assigning a task The onboardee details were out of focus in correspondence for assigning a task, as using placeholders can result in long task descriptions. Therefore, we have redesigned the layout of the correspondence by moving these details to the top. The task description and the hint, if there is one, follow right after. |
| Better |
Sender name in Email to Onboardee Messages to onboardees were sent without a sender name. This made the messages in an onboardee´s inbox look impersonal and it was often difficult for onboardees to assign them to a discussion. From now on, the first and last name of the logged-in user will be used as the sender name for manually triggered correspondence, while the name of the company associated with the onboarding will be used for correspondence sent by the system. If, however, there is no company saved in the master data in the latter case, a static name is entered as the sender of the correspondence, namely "Onboarding team". |
| Better |
Creating tasks simplified The form for creating a task was complex and contained many features that are superfluous in the majority of cases. Therefore, we redesigned the form so that the focus is directed at the upper area. The lower area with additional features now consists of blocks that can be activated by clicking the switch buttons for special cases. In addition, we have updated the terminology for the last additional feature - Send Message to Onboardee - to make it clear who is the recipient of the correspondence about the created task. We believe that by redesigning the form we have made creating tasks more intuitive and pleasant for you. 
|
| Better |
Column names in the Excel sheet After exporting the onboarding data to an Excel file, information abou the onboarding processes was displayed under the column name Onboardee. For a better overview, we have changed this column name to Onboarding.  In this context, we have also added the word Phase to the names of columns related to the phases of an onboarding process (Declaration of Intent, Preboarding, Onboarding, Supervision) for a better understanding.
|
| Fixed |
Email for Assigned Task now in primary language When assigning a task to an external email address, the correspondence was automatically sent in the language of our development system, i. e. in English. From now on, this correspondece will be sent in the primary language of your d.vinci system. |
v2022.14 (07/14/2022)
| NEW |
Analyze Onboarding data via Reporting API Via the Reporting API, onboarding data can now be evaluated. You can see data on onboarding itself, onboardees and tasks. What for? With the data you can, for example, graphically evaluate in PowerBI at which location your onboardees start or which entry reason is the most frequent. In conjunction with data from applicant management, you can evaluate which source was used for an application, which onboarding was successful and much more. Configuration
Feel free to give us feedback on this feature. We want to develop it according to your needs.
|
NEW |
User photo in the header In the header next to your name, you will see your photo if it was previously uploaded in the user.
|
Better |
E-mail language for automatically transferred task When a task is transferred automatically, the primary language of the system is used for the e-mail. |
Fixed |
Column naming in Excel export of onboardings We have named the columns V to AB more clearly. |
v2022.13 (06/30/2022)
Better |
Opening documents How a document is opend now dependent on the browser settings. Depending on the settings, documents are now no longer downloaded automatically, but open in a new window. |
Better |
Title of the Employee Portal If you hold the mouse over the tab of the employee portal, the title "Employee portal" is now displayed. This is also the text when creating a bookmark.
|
v2022.12 (06/16/2022)
NEW |
Our wording has changed A single New Employee is now an Onboardee and the process is the Onboarding. The functionality was not changed, only the terminology. Bit by bit, we will also adapt the articles here in the help portal accordingly. The Word Entry Date was replaced by First Working Day. |
Better |
New grouping according to the Reason for Entry If you click on the button Onbordings in the overview of onboardings, Onboardings can now also be grouped according to the Reason for Entry. This allows you to see at a glance how many people are onboarding with which entry reason and what the overall status of the tasks to be completed is.
|
v2022.11 (06/02/2022)
Announcement |
Our wording is changing In one of the next releases we will change our wording in the software a little bit. A single New Employee will become an Onboardee, multiple New Employees will be Onboardings and the process will then be Onboarding. The functionality will not change, only the terminology. Bit by bit, we will also adapt the articles here in the help portal accordingly. |
NEW |
Display of the number of onboardings In the Onboardings overview, there is now a number badge behind the New Employees tab. This shows at a glance how many onboardings are currently running. The number on the badge changes with the filter that is currently set.
|
NEW |
New filter Onboardings can now also be filtered by Reason for Entry.
|
Fixed |
Naming placeholder for due tasks The placeholder for displaying the title for the reminder of due tasks is now correctly named Task - Title Portal Task and accordingly also references the title and no longer the internal name. |

| Better |
Logic when creating a Task/Task Template In the near future we will simplify the mask for creating tasks. We have implemented a first aspect. In the employee portal area, selection options are now only displayed if the selection makes logical sense. Examples
|
| Better |
Media buttons in portal articles In portal articles, the following content can be added using three buttons in the editor:
|
| Better |

v2022.3 (2/10/2022)
| NEW |
Minimum password length adjustable The minimum password length can be changed via the Security tab in the Basic Settings for all users. 8 characters are still the minimum. There are no upper limits. Users who already have a password are not affected by the change. They will not be prompted to set a new password. For existing users, it will only be relevant when their password is reset or they request a new password. Tip: You want all or certain d.vinci users to use a longer password? You can reset the password manually for the user or export a user export, take the email addresses from it and ask the users via email to set a new password. |
