SQL Enquiry Writer: Enable graphical reports developed using APEX (Oracle's Application Express product formerly known as HTML DB) to be linked-in seamlessly to SQL Enquiry Writer reports.

RSS: We have added the capability in iCams to generate RSS files of all of your jobs which may be used by candidates with RSS readers to get a constantly updated stream of jobs that you are offering. Other opportunities include uploading your RSS files to Google where the jobs will then have equal prominence with jobs loaded from the job boards. To implement this, each site will need to be configured with these additional parameters:
  RSS_ENABLED_
   - YES to enable RSS generation.
  RSS_IMAGE_HEIGHT_
   - The height of the image to be shown by RSS readers
  RSS_IMAGE_WIDTH_
   - The width of the image to be shown by RSS readers
  RSS_JOBS_SHOW_AUTHOR_
   - YES if you want the "author" to be listed as the email address in param.  FROM_ RSS_JOBS_TITLE_
   - This is the title that news readers will give to the RSS fed by default
  RSS_NEWS_SHOW_AUTHOR_
   - YES if you want the "author" to be listed as the email address in parameter  FROM_
  RSS_NEWS_TITLE_
   -  - This is the title that news readers will give to the RSS fed by default
  RSS_IMAGE_NAME_
   - ?
  RSS_IMAGE_URL_
   - The full URL to be displayed in the news reader
  RSS_MAIN_URL_
   - The address of the web site which holds the jobs
  RSS_PUBLIC_DIR_
   - The directory name on the database server where the RSS files are to be copied to.

FAB: This release includes a new web-based tool for managing multi-section application forms (FAB), which can be accessed by suitably privileged users under the Configure -> Application Forms menu option in the back office.

QuickFind: If you want to make QuickFind ignore candidates who have no last_name defined (for example an  incomplete registration or when the identify of candidates has been "masked" for data protection purposes), you can now set the parameter QUICKFIND_IGNORE_NO_NAME_ to YES.

View Applications By Job: If one candidate has applied for the same job more than once, we now show only the latest application.

Multi-section Application Forms: When dates are presented as Day/Month/Year pick lists, there was no validation to check that the selected combination was valid (e.g. it allowed 31-feb).

Scoring of application forms: Have introduced the ability to attach score information to answers of candidates to specific questions (when the answer is selected from a pick list or radio button) - this capability is available to those customers who are using the multi-section application forms (FAB). There is a new screen for administering the scores per question per job (which means that you can score the same answer to the same question differently between different jobs). The scores are displayed in candidate history, folder views and view applications by job and are colour coded depending on the where the score sits relevant to bands defined for scores for the job: top/middle/bottom (green/orange/red respectively). Duplicating a job will duplicate the scores too. For those sites that have FAB enabled they can take advantage of this capability too by setting the parameter FAB_SCORING_ENABLED_nn=YES. In addition, there are utilities for copying complete application forms within sites, from one site to another and now even across databases. Finally, the complete FAB form-builder has been redeveloped as a web application. A new Configure menu option has been added for "Application Forms" which gives access to the new form builder, scoring tools and form copying tool.

Also under this reference, whilst implementing all the above new code, we made two further changes:
   - QuickFind will now return only candidates who have either a Last Name or an Email address
   - The View Applications by Job screen has been improved to simplify the process of sending CVs in bulk/transfer to ListBuilder/bulk FAB application form print/Populate Folder - there is now a checkbox to select which candidates you want to action and also a "Select All" and "Select None" option.

Candidate Registration: Enable Username to become synonymous with E-mail address. The prompt for username may be changed to say E-mail Address (this has always been possible) but if the system parameter CCP_USERNAME_IS_EMAIL_nn is set to YES then the e-mail address will be hidden and will be populated "behind the scenes" with the lower case value of the username.

Application Form Scoring: We have added a new feature which enables the user to assign scores to different answers that a candidate may select from radio buttons/pick lists when the site is running the multi-section application forms (FAB). This step of the development covers the definition of the scoring structure only. Scoring of submitted applications and related extended functionality is covered under DevRef:01409.   Switch this on by setting FAB_SCORING_ENABLED_xx to YES

Candidate Timeout: This was not working correctly as the cookies being set to track a candidate's last activity were not being deleted when they were supposed to have been. This now been fixed.

Candidate Logoff: This was not working consistently - the candidate would be sent to the about:blank page and would have to close down all browser windows before logging-in as acandidate again. This has now been fixed.

Client Database: We have made a number of enhancements to this:

1) Whenever candidate history is entered that is linked to a Client (via a Job), the client history will be updated too

2) In the view of Candidate History on the main candidate details screen, if the history entry is linked to a Client then details of the client name will also be displayed

3) You can now link Tracking Types to two emails - we have added the ability to link a tracking type to an email to be sent to the client automatically when the candidate history has been updated - the user will be presented with a screen containing the default e-mail to be sent to the client (this may for example be confirmation details for an interview. The e-mail is also stored in the client history and may be viewed from the client details screen at any time.)

SQL Enquiry Writer: Enable the ability to mark chosen columns to display grand totals. When defining an enquiry, the developer may now enter details of which columns are to have automatically-derived grand totals.  This works only on the web run and only as long as the results are not paged.

FAB: Enable a "batch print" facility of application forms invoked from the View Applications By Job screen. This facility enables multiple application forms to be sent to the printer in a single click. The output comprsies
  1) A header page listing out the job applied for and the name of each candidate whose form is being printed
  2) A separator page for each candidate followed by the completed application form
  3) A footer page so that you know that all forms have been printed.
  This can be switch-on by setting the parameter FAB_BATCH_PRINT_ENABLED_nn to YES

Job Selector Window - if job title contains an apostrophe then selecting the job causes a script error and doesn't get passed back.

Job Selector: The job selector window is presented to back office users when a job needs to be picked from a list. We have changed the job selector window to display also the client name (when the Org DB is enabled) and the light bulb on/off to give a clear indication of whether the job is live or not.

SQL Enquiry Writer:  To suppress the capability for a user to dynamically sort the results of a query, set a paramater called WD_QUERY_SUPPRESS_SORT to YES.

Candidate Control Panel: For sites running FAB (the multi-section application form system), a CV created through the Candidate Control Panel was not being recognised by FAB even if a section defined as a Documents section existed. This has been corrected so that a CV can be loaded either via the CCP or as part of the FAB application process and be recognised in either place.

FAB: On the multiple section application forms system, we were unable to store the source entered by candidates online against their online application records. We can now do this by selecting the SOURCE or SPECIFIC_SOURCE option

FOLDERS: On transfer (share type TRANSFER) of a folder, the recipient's access to other folders was being inadvertently revoked.

User Reporting: The results displayed by all reports/enquiries generated by iCams' own report writer can be sorted on any column by clucking the column headings - sort can be ascending or descending.

Send CV: For agencies, the Send CV option from the candidate screen did not behave in the same way as from the Client screens and did not update the Client History correctly. We have created a replacment Send CV function which can be invoked from the Candidate sctreeen and this will now allow you to pick the Client / Contact / Job from pick lists. Upon save, both the candidate and client history will be correctly updated. We  have relabeled the option in the candidate screen to "Send CV to client".

NB: Any bespoke reports that have been written which show the candidate status may need to be upgraded to reference the subtype, where present.

ERT-53 (devref: 1321)

When one checkbox is selected on the Folder List (make folder active) and Create Folder (select job), all others are disabled. This only happens when the system allows one to be selected at a time.
