 Add setting to switch interpolation ON and OFF - default should be OFF (#123353)

 Adjust the weight of the existing period when adding a new Review Period (#87333) 
 Problem 
 
 When adding a new Review Period you are only asked to provide a description. 
 After saving, the item will be added with a weight of 0. 
 This means that you need to edit that item again to change the weight. 
 In addition, the first period is automatically added with a weight of 100, meaning that you will need to edit that item first before you will be able to set the weight of the new item. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a weight field to the "+ Review Period" modal, so that you can set the weight of the new item. 
 Consider adding a method to automatically adjust the weights of existing sections when a new period is added.
 
 Example: 100 - the weight of the new item divided by the number of existing items. This should only happen when a new item is added not when you edit existing items

 Implemented changes to show score dials on a collapsed user banner as well

 Problem 
 
 Inconsistent cursor on user profile's nav tabs 
 On the user profile page, when clicking on a parent tab, it unnecessarily loads the first child tab 
 
 Solution 
 
 Changed the cursor to hand on the tab headings. 
 Changed the user profile navigation to not load the first child tab if a parent is selected. A child tab must be selected to load the content. Also added functionality to reload tab content if an already active tab is selected again

 HR Processes 
 Unable to see who is set on a position when clicking on the populated drop-down (#123366) 
 Problem 
 
 The fallback configuration position drop-downs display only the top 50 records. When you select someone not part of the initial list of 50 people, the selected person will not be automatically selected in the drop-down, when you open the drop-down. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Always add the selected person to the list, even if not initially part of the list, so that it will be selected when opening the drop-down. 
 
   
 Create a job to substitute a terminated person with a Fallback approver (#123554) 
 Business Rules 
 
 Create a job that substitutes a terminated person with a Fallback approver 
 
   
 As a Fallback Approver, I want to receive a notification (#123552) 
 
 Create a specific email for the Fallback approver: 
 
 Dear [***ApproverName***] [***ApproverSurname***] 
 You have been identified as a fallback approver for [***ProcessName***] submitted by [***SubmittedByName***] [***SubmittedBySurname***]. 
 Click on the link below to review this request. 
 [***UserInboxLink***] 
 Please contact HR for additional assistance. 
   
 Kind regards, 
 HR Team 
   
 As a Fallback Approver, I want to have a section to view all open requests where I can be an approver as a Fallback (#123555) 
 Business Rules 
 
 Create a section for “OPEN REQUESTS AS FALLBACK APPROVER” 
 This section should show all open requests where this (fallback approver) could potentially have been a fallback approver.
 
 When clicking on  the tab: 
 
 Determine all the org units for which the user is a fallback approver 
 Get all the employees in the selected orgs, and sub orgs 
 List all the open requests for the abovementioned employees 
 On all the cards that are “in progress”: 
 Show the APPROVE / DECLINE button – similar to what we do now for the Fallback approver, but on the “next card” 
 
 
 
 
 When opening it, at the bottom of the screen, show an “ESCALATE” button:
 
 This button should request a reason, and then mark this card as “Escalated” and pass it to the next person in the approval line 
 The last card cannot have an “ESCALATE” button. 
 Perhaps the escalation can be combined with the existing option that the fallback approver has

 Incorrect counts displayed (#121311) 
 Problem 
 
 The number of users shown on the org structure did not match with the number of users on the org unit people groups.

 Ruleset Management 
 Ensure all languages start with a capital letter (#124736) 
 Problem

 Solution

 Implement Priority Emails (#124030) 
 Problem 
   
 
 
 OTP, Forgot Password and Tenant creation emails take up to 5 minutes to arrive at the user. 
 This causes frustration and doubt that the system is working in these highly sensitive areas. 
 
 
   
 Solution 
   
 
 
 Implement priority emails that will be processed immediately rather than queued and then sent. The current flag on the email template must be used to determine if an email should be processed as a priority email as soon as possible 
 
 
   
 Dates on Schedule Setup are not shown in the preferred language set by the user (#124706) 
 Problem 
 
   The date fields are shown in the American date format, even though the preferred language is set to English (UK).

 Language 
 Capitalize the first letter of the other languages (#121390) 
 Problem 
 
 When a user selects their preferred language All the languages are capitalised except Portuguese and French. This is because of the method use to get name makes use of those languages' capitalisation norms. This does not look right on the system 
 
 Solution 
 
 Implemented a workaround to not make use of the capitalisation norms so that everything is standardized across the entire system 
 
   
 Page reloads when searching in a module (#103759) 
 Problem 
 
 When making use of the global search on the language page the entire page reloads and reverts to the "global" subtab. No implementation was done to keep track of the active tab

 Problem 
 
 Incorrect heading for the Org path column 
 
 
 Solution 
 
 Ensure the correct heading is displayed on the table for the org path column 
 
 
 
 Audit 
 ValueObjects in tables are not audited (#116420) 
 Problem 
 
 When only a Value Object has changed on an Entity (as opposed to a normal property) the auditing does not pick up that the entity should be audited because it does not evaluate the Value Object properties of the Entity. 
 
 
 Solution 
 
 Unfortunately, there is no easy way to directly check the previous vs current values of Value Object properties as you would with a normal entity property change. Value Objects are immutable; any 'change' deletes the previous entity reference and adds a new one. 
 To still be able to pick up changes, however, you can access all the 'Added' reference entities of an entity (the value objects essentially) and then compare that to the list of deleted entities from the Change Tracking. 
 If it is the same type and has the same FK then assume that this Deleted entity is the pre-change version of the Added entity. 
 Once the deleted entity is retrieved compare Added against Deleted properties and return true if any changes. 
 
 
 
 Imports 
 Employee data import error (#125558) 
 Problem 
 
 The org nodes are duplicated when no org structure exists and multiple users are linked to the node 
 When importing nodes with accents in the name the import fails 
 The bulk import to V8 for the job structure is blocked by the full org structure import when errors occur 
 
 
 Solution 
 
 Remove unused caching check between node creation and replace with existence check on the newly created nodes 
 Add accent escapes when querying the existing org nodes. 
 Reorder the bulk import types 
 Correct 1000 appointment recursion error 
 
 
 Signify Employee data import API (#122932) 
 Add the option on the payroll connector to save and validate a PowerShell script used for import 
 
 When adding a payroll connector 
 
 Move the payroll connector provider to the top of the modal 
 Add a new provider Powershell 
 When the provider type is Powershell 
 Change the display of the screen and show the following fields 
 
 Name - Textbox 
 Powershell Script- Text Area 
 
 The text area is pre-populated with a PowerShell script for import from Signify's own APIs. This script servers as the base to be customised from 
 
 
 Import Enabled- Toggle 
 
 
 When the user saves the page the script is run without staging the data 
 
 When the PowerShell script can run through and return data in the format to be stagged the script is valid 
 Otherwise through an error 
 
 
 When the manual processing button is clicked then the Powershell script will run and stage 
 
 When more than one PowerShell script is added then all the data will be stagged and processed as a single import only keeping the latest record per user should a user be returned in multiple Powershell scripts 
 
 
 Each provider's connectors will be processed together and will not include other providers 
 
 This means Payspace connectors will be grouped and Powershell connectors will be grouped and processed as a batch separately. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Create a PowerShell connector command to process connectors of this type per the ruleset 
 Create a new command and handler- PowershellImportCommand 
 
 The handler retrieves all the PowerShell connectors for active rulesets 
 All the connectors for a specific ruleset must be processed as a batch
 
 The users from multiple connectors will be stagged and imported as a single import 
 Should a user be returned by multiple connectors only the latest user according to appointment data should be imported 
 
 
 Log all steps in the handler as an import occurring and display the status on Notifications| Imports 
 
 Security when running a PowerShell script 
 
 Consider the implementation of custom run space when running the import 
 
 The handler should be able to be run manually for a single ruleset or per schedule for all rulesets 
 
 Reuse the current payroll connector job to also process powershell connectors 
 
 
 Create SQL notification for support 
 Problem: 
   
 
 
 When an import runs in the background no notification informs the client if a failure has occurred during the import. The user currently needs to go to the Notifications | Imports tab in the system to access this information. 
 
 
   
 Solution: 
   
 
 
 When an import completes and any failures occurred during the import trigger a standard system notification.  
 
 
   
 Recipient:  Front End Import-  Person who started the import 
                              Backend Import- Send to admins of product linked to import type 
   
 CC: 
   
 Email Body: 
   
 Dear [RecipientName] [RecipientSurname], 
   
 The [ImportType] import is completed with [ErrorCount] errors.  
   
 Please follow the below link for more information 
   
 [Link To Notification | Import]

 Report Builder 
 Changes to Styling on Full Report page (#121257) 
 Problem 
 
 When on the Full report page of the report builder and you scroll down the headers are scrolling out of the page thus it is hard to see which column is for what. 
 
 
 Solution 
 
 Implemented sticky headers so the headers always show when scrolling 
 
   
 Scrollbars to be implemented (#120403) 
 Problem 
 
 Headers were not sticky and the user needed to scroll up every time to see headers. 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 The preview headers were made sticky 
 
 
 
 Data Warehouse 
 Add Improvement Strategy Field (#125557) 
 Problem 
 
 The Improvement Strategy field is not available when creating a report 
 
 
 Solution
