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

Problem

When the top section of the performance management contract collapses, then display the employee, manager and final ratings. This will allow the users to keep seeing these scores while scrolling.

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

Capitalize the first letter of the other languages (#121390)

---

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

  • Move the payroll connector provider to the top of the modal
    
  • Add a new provider Powershell

    • Powershell Script- Text Area
      
      • The text area is pre-populated with a powershellPowerShell script for import from SignifiesSignify'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 powershellPowerShell 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 powershellPowershell script will run and stage
    
    • When more than onone powershellPowerShell 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 powershellPowershell scripts
      
  • Each providersprovider's connectors will be processed together and will not include other providers
    
    • MeaningThis means Payspace connectors will be grouped and powershellPowershell connectors will be groupgrouped and proccesedprocessed as a batch seperately.separately.

 

Create a powershellPowerShell connector command to process connectors of this type per the ruleset

• The handler retrieves all the powershellPowerShell 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 mulitplemultiple connectorconnectors only the latest user according to appointment data should be imported
• Log all steps in the handler as an import occuringoccurring and display the status on Notifications| Imports

• Consider the implementation of custom runspacerun space when running the import

• Reuse the current payroll connector job to also process powershell connectors
