 Solution 
 
 Implemented a new column in the data export on contract preview 
 
   
 Resolved KPI not being able to delete (#143253) 
 Problem 
 
 The primary contract's bool value was not being sent through, which caused an invalid object  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to pass through the primary contract's bool value 
 
   
 Resolved Scroll jumping to the top of the page after rating (#142537) 
 Problem 
 
 Visually impaired changes made a change to auto focus first item for every useeffect change, this caused that when a rating was done it scrolled to the top  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to stop concurrent refocus to the top 
 
   
 Fix document link for KPIs, Disable buttons on content view when content server is unavailable (#140522) 
 Problem 
 
 When clicking on View Documents on the KPI level, a page not found is displayed. When the content server is unavailable, clicking on the download or upload of a document causes errors

 Imports 
 Remove duplicate self-service settings in validation when importing users (#142626) 
 Problem 
 
 Cannot import users when ESS settings are duplicated in the DB  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Removes duplicate rows in ESS settings, keeping only the most recently edited entry for each unique combination of `FieldSection`, `FieldId`, and `RulesetId`. * Updated the construction of the `requiredFields` dictionary in `UserDetailsValidationService.cs` to ensure unique combinations of `FieldSection` and `FieldId` are included, preventing issues caused by duplicate settings. 
 
   
 Resolved import not being triggered (#143185) 
 Problem 
 
 Data-Action URL is not taken into account when the form modal is being submitted 
 
   
 Solution

 Problem 
 
 There is no area to version the custom client import steps  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Introduced new SQL procedures for Discovery, FamousBrands, and Hirexe user import processes. These scripts implement custom pre/post import logic, such as clearing email addresses based on field values and removing non-Hirexe appointments, to support client-specific requirements. 
 
   
 
 Data Warehouse 
 Changed column name from ExecuteSequenceLastRefreshed to V9ExecuteSequenceLastRefreshed within PackageSettings (#143103) 
 Problem 
 
 Only naming the column field to ExecuteSequenceLastRefreshed will create confusion when using V8 DWH as well  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Changed column name from ExecuteSequenceLastRefreshed to V9ExecuteSequenceLastRefreshed within PackageSettings 
 
   
 Resolved duplicate issue within accTenants (#142737)

 People Management 
 Add immediate imports after transfer to another ruleset (#142770) 
 Problem 
 
 When the user is transferred, the import is not requested immediately, delaying the sync of learner records  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Moved reporting line, cache busting and additional service import triggers from PeopleController to JobProfilerServiceV1 for better encapsulation. Added GetUsernameAsync to IUserQueries and UserQueries to support username retrieval by user ID. Updated ImportUsersEventConsumer to limit ImportTypes to UserData only. Also added placeholder fields for parent/guardian names in user export. 
 
   
 Fix materialisation when a people group has not been materialised before | Fix regression bug on people termination (#136729) 
 Problem 
 
 When materialising people groups and the list of people groups to materialise is empty, it only materialises for people groups that have already been materialised in the past.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 When the 'forceSync' parameter is true, refresh for ALL people groups on the ruleset (if an empty people group was received). 
 Still, only materialise people groups already materialised when 'forceSync' is false. 
 **PLUS** Other issue picked up while testing: Termination broken due to a regression bug. A new field was added to a model used in a query in job profiler, but the query was not updated, which results in the query breaking, meaning ultimately people cannot be terminated anymore. Updated the model to make use of auto properties instead of a constructor, which makes it easier for Dapper to map the query result to the model. 
 
   
 Update SkiaSharp dependencies and Docker setup (#139069 & #142672) 
 Problem 
 
 The component to convert images and Word documents is not available, and an error is received. The version of the native libSkiaSharp library (88.1) is incompatible with this version of SkiaSharp. Supported versions of the native libSkiaSharp library are in the range [116.0, 117.0).\u0022)) An error occurred while processing your request., , , The type initializer for SkiaSharp.SKImageInfo threw an exception.)","Exception":"System.TypeInitializationException: The type initialiser for SkiaSharp.SKImageInfo threw an exception. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library libSkiaSharp or one of its dependencies.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 This pull request updates the SkiaSharp dependencies to the latest version and ensures the application runtime environment is properly configured for SkiaSharp support. It also includes some minor code cleanups and Dockerfile improvements. 
 
   
 Hide summary sections that the people group do not provide access to (#139878) 
 Problem 
 
 When the people group does not allow access to a section  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added checks to only display payroll connector and payroll ID fields for the admins and manages, the user should not see the fields on their own profile. Updated ProfileSummaryViewModel to refine view permissions for particulars, contact details, and address based on user and group permissions. 
 
   
 
 Report Builder 
 Resolved Delete button not being enabled when toggle is checked (#143032) 
 Problem 
 
 When a toggle is active for confirmation on the deletion modal, the delete button is not enabled  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to toggle the disabled state depending on the checked state 
 
   
 
 System Access 
 Implement rate limiting for gRPC transcoding HTTP requests (#142267) 
 Problem 
 
 APIs do not impose any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be requested by the client/user 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add change to rate limit endpoint calls 
 
   
 Implement custom post import step (#137281) 
 Problem 
 
 Employees do not have individual email addresses and are unable to reset their passwords, as they can not receive the Welcome mail 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Implement a step to set the user password hash when empty 
 
   
 Enhance the chatbot code to URL and JS detection (#142505) 
 Problem 
 
 When the bot code is anything other than a properly formatted JS function, the Sanitisation does not work. Any URL and methods are then allowed that are incorrect.  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Change the URL checking to identify any URL regardless of the formatting, and if it is not part of the whitelisted URL, reject and clear the text received. Attempt to format the text before parsing to JS to allow the functions to work better. Other improvements identified during the above work to prevent harmful scripts of being injected. 
 
   
 
 Exports 
 Resolved Export notification not being shown (#143192) 
 Problem 
 
 Change was made to trigger a download once export has been interacted with, due to messages being sent it was sent to each tab of the user that triggered a download, change was made to generate tab-ids for each request and only download on the tab that it interacted on, this caused that on report builder the id was not set hence why no message was shown  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to generate a tab ID to be sent with the export of a report 
 
   
 
 Communication Portal 
 Added media query to resolve position (#137794) 
 Problem 
 
 On certain screen resolutions, the add button is rendered behind the footer, and one of the selections can not be seen clearly 
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a media query change to accommodate this screen resolution 
 
   
 
 Job Management 
 Resolved job profile count (#140550) 
 Problem 
 
 Count varied from the first load and then, when opened, resulted from the partition, as there could be multiple positions within a job profile  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to correct the partition for joins and counts 
 
   
 Resolved Job Profile Not being copied and global error snack (#142903) 
 Problem 
 
 When copying a job profile, an exception is thrown because it tries to copy the disclaimer as well. Because of the value object, it created a reference to the job profile ID that causes the error. A recent change was made to ajax.tsx to correct the console errors being logged when partial view results are being returned over ajax, but this caused the middleware general exceptions snack messages did not display any more  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to create a new value object for disclaimer settings 
 Revert and add another change to implement and correct to not write console errors when it is not JSON.

 [Annotation][Syncfusion] Layout changes (#139069) 
 Problem 
 
 Not all the stamps are available. A stamp reverts to the previous stamp when used more than once. The stamp does not persist between pages. When reusing ink and stamps where used before the stamp is reactivated  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Significant enhancements to the PDF annotation functionality in the pdfAnnotation.js file, focusing on improved custom stamp handling, user experience, and code clarity. 
 It also updates the configuration to use production endpoints for the PDF viewer server and adjusts Content Security Policy settings for development.  
 PDF Annotation and Custom Stamp Functionality: Refactored custom stamp toolbar integration:
 
 Custom stamps are now added to the toolbar with clear identifiers and properties, enabling easier mapping between toolbar buttons and stamp types. 
 The toolbar now also includes new stamps such as "Half" and "Blue Half Tick", and supports rotating pages with new rotate buttons. 
 Improved stamp selection and re-arming: Introduced logic to reliably restore the selected custom stamp after page changes and annotation additions, ensuring a smoother user experience when annotating multi-page PDFs. 
 Added robust page rotation support: Implemented a rotateAndReload function that supports both document-level and viewer-level rotation, handling active annotation modes and ensuring the viewer state remains consistent. 
 Enhanced annotation mode toggling:
 
 Refined ink annotation toggling and ensured that switching modes resets the custom stamp selection, preventing mode conflicts. 
 Configuration and Security: Updated PDF viewer server endpoint to production: Changed the PdfViewerServer URL in development settings to point to the production API for more realistic testing. Expanded Content Security Policy for development: Added the production server to the connect-src directive, allowing connections to the new PDF viewer endpoint during development.  
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 Identity & Authorisation 
 Resolved registration textarea field not outlining correctly (#142116) 
 Problem 
 
 Within the input fields, there is styling that gets generated, which adds a border outline and correction when the label moves up, but on textareas, it does not  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Add a change to also add these divs to textareas so that the same styling and behaviour gets used 
 
   
 Resolved MFA enhancements (#143105 & #143100) 
 Problem 
 
 The countdown timer was adding a suffix with the added countdown value, which caused the old countdown and the current to be displayed next to each other. Missing translations  
 
   
 Solution 
 
 Added a change to the countdown to remove and add as the timer counts down for resend, Added missing translations
