People Management
Improve People Group Materialisation and management (#130510)
Problem
When a people group has been materialised and a consumer event fails to refresh the people group in a service, there is no way to refresh the users in, for example, Performance Management, without changing the people group.
When a people group is handled by the SyncMaterialisedPeopleGroupUsersCommand command, there is no locking to prevent multiple consumers from processing the same people groups. This can lead to deadlocks, or at least redundant fetches and updates.
There is no way to know when the people group were materialised last.
Suggested Development
Add a button to the people group summary page to manually force a refresh of the open people group on all services
The Materialised people group users in the job profiler service are busted and rematerialised
This should trigger a new event consumed by the job profiler service and then the jp service must trigger the SyncMaterialisedPeopleGroupUsersCommand on all services using gRPC to ensure all services are in sync.
Add a MaterialisedDataLog table to each service
Columns: Id, created date, edited date, tabletype, status, referenceId
tabletype: Enum: PeopleGroupUsers, Ruleset, Users, Appointments
status: Available, Locked
referenceId: Reference to materialised table e.g. PeopleGroupId
When the people groups sync, add or update the entry in the table with the reference Id being the people group id.
Set the status to "locked" when processing a request.
Other refreshes wait, by checking every 20 seconds and up to 2 minutes, if the people group is Available and then continue refreshing.
Use the log table to find the tables that have been materialised.
Column fields for Evaluations modals not translated (#124581)
Problem
On the agreement, when adding an evaluation, the column headers were not translated into Deutsch.
Solution
Added translation for headings in the Deutsch translation.
Able to save the sections on a review setup after deleting all Rating Scales (#129104)
Problem
User could not save review setup with change made to check for rating scales.
Users could save a review setup when there were no rating scales defined, for example, all were deleted.
User could save a review setup without adding a 'Performance' Rating Scale.
Solution
Added a check to not validate rating scales for the action plan section.
Add a new check to ensure that the rating scales are defined for the active sections before saving, or else result in a detailed error.
Add a new check to ensure that there are performance rating scales
The circle for the overall Status icon does not turn green (#129073)
Problem
On the Performance Dashboard, the circle for the Overall Status icon does not turn green after finalising the agreement if the setting to hide all the weights is enabled.
Solution

Only display 20 characters of the review period names and add a tooltip on the Performance Management timeline (#128454)
Problem
Review period names are displayed in full length on the dashboard, causing an overlap with the edge of the card.
Solution
Changed to display only the first 20 characters, with an ellipsis text and a tooltip to display the full period name on the dashboard timeline
Update wording on 'submitting objectives' (#128266)
Problem
When the objective settings are confirmed on the modal, the text reads 'Please note that the Objective Settings will now blocked for editing'.
Solution
Change the text on the confirmation modal to read 'be locked for editing'.
Instructions overlapping "Continue" button (#121399)
Problem
Instructions text overlapping the "Continue" button on the manager's agreement for Objective Setting within the Performance Management Dashboard.
Solution
Add styling to restrict text from overlapping.
The hover-over item displays twice when hovering over Action Plan items on KPIs (#120060,120063)
Problem
A duplicate pop-over displays once an Action Plan has been added from a KPI within an agreement.
Solution
Removed duplicate popover and only kept one.
Able to delete an agreement when the phase is no longer active (#121573)
Problem
When a period has ended within a review setup, an agreement which has been started can still be deleted.
Solution
Add a check that if the phase has ended, do not show the option to delete the agreement on both Dual and without Dual agreements.
Manager side shows "Rate" button if submitted before the employee (#115767)
Problem
On the Manager side, the text 'Rate' is displayed even if the Manager has submitted their scores, and the user has not started yet.
Solution
Change to display View instead of Rate within the case that a User has not started and the Manager has submitted their scores.

Problem

receivedreceived, the value in the system is also updated to empty.
This means
