# Version 9.1.255 (28 September 2026) #### **Performance Management** ##### Added bustable methods to queryable cache attributes (#155589, #155592) **Problem** - Missing bustable methods; cached values were being returned **Solution** - Added bustable methods to clear cached values ##### Implement event publish after loading the bulk action (#155511) **Problem** - When loading a bulk action, the action is never processed. **Solution** - This change makes a small but important update to the bulk action event-handling process. - After adding and saving the integration event, it now ensures that all pending events are published through the event bus. ##### Added Kpi Name to evaluations (#155219) **Problem** - KPI name was not being rendered on the frontend, as well as a request to change the translation and remove the default KPI translation above each rating scale **Solution** - Added kpi name rendering, changed the translation and removed the removal of kpi translation ##### Fix review document handler logger dependencies (#155503) **Problem** - Opening Portfolio of Evidence files from KPA or KPI rows returns "Invalid identifiers" because the review-file handler cannot resolve its logger dependency. **Solution** - Use the registered generic logger in the affected review-file handlers and add dependency-injection coverage for all review-file query handlers. ##### Truncate Check-Ins label with tooltip when translation is long (#155250) **Problem** - On the performance dashboards, the "Check-Ins" label (on the check-ins dial, the check-ins count badge, and the "Check-Ins & Ratings" accordion header) was previously changed to wrap onto multiple lines when the translation is long. - Wrapping looked untidy inside the small circular dials and badges. **Solution** - Instead of wrapping, the label is now shortened with an ellipsis (…) when it does not fit, and hovering it shows the full text in a tooltip. Short labels look exactly as before. ##### Lock KPIs and add functionality to rate KPIs as an Admin (#153180) **New functionality:** - A new Performance Management permission is available - Rate KPIs - When creating a template, the following options are available - Lock editing for person - Lock editing for manager - Lock rating for person - Lock rating for manager - For an admin with the permission, allow the option to be selected under the module-specific functions menu - A new page is available where a KPI can be selected and rated ##### Performance Management Feedback Report (#150927) **New functionality** - Add a column to the Score Label Mapping to add text for achieving higher performance - Add a toggle to enable the Feedback Report - Show the report for the end-user --- #### **People Management** ##### Allow documents to be previewed and updated (#152813) **New functionality** - Allow editing of uploaded documents - Allow previewing of documents without having to download them - Documents can be previewed - It converts the document to PDF and then uses the normal PDF viewer to preview it (same one used on auto doc) - Document types which can be previewed: Word, Excel, PDF, text files, and standard images ##### Change Merge and Delete permission translations to title case (#155330) **Problem** - Some People management role permissions are not in title case **Solution** - Change Merge and Delete permission translations to title case. ##### User Activity Tracker (#152090) **New functionality** - This includes activity on V8 pages and V9 pages. - The HR automation pages in the Blazor project are not yet tracked. - In order to make this more useful and assist with testing, I have added user activity under audit information of the user. - Only the latest 200 activity records will be returned on the page. - These are the business rules of the tracker - It only starts tracking after the user stays on the page for 5 seconds (startDelay). - Once started, it sends: - start once, - heartbeat every 5 minutes by default, - end when tracking stops. - It tracks inactivity and will suspend after 20 minutes of no interaction. - If user activity returns after inactivity suspension, it resumes with the same sessionId and sends a new start. - It does not end just because the tab becomes hidden: - on hidden: sends one heartbeat (prefers beacon), stops interval heartbeat; - on visible: sends heartbeat and restarts heartbeat interval. - It ends permanently on page lifecycle exits (pagehide, beforeunload) and avoids duplicate permanent end events. - It listens to activity events: mousemove, mousedown, keydown, click, touchstart, and scroll. - heartbeat and end payloads are minimal (session + last seen + timestamp); start includes page/user context. - Requests go to /App/ActivityTracker endpoints by default (StartTracker, Heartbeat, EndTracker), with base URL auto-derived if needed. - For reliability, it prefers navigator.sendBeacon for exit/background sends, else falls back to fetch with keepalive: true. - It includes an anti-forgery token (\_\_RequestVerificationToken) if present, both in the header and payload. - Tracking errors are swallowed so user experience is not interrupted. ##### Add Person Profile Image Setting (#153139) **New functionality** - Enable or disable the ability for users to upload a profile picture, so that my company can prevent users from displaying a profile image if required - Configure permission settings for updating profile pictures, so that I can decide whether employees or only administrators are allowed to change profile pictures --- #### **System Access** ##### Correct external menu routing for additional services general and deep link types (#155499) **Problem** - General external pages return an error - Deep link external pages do not correctly authenticate **Solution** - Updates menu URL generation to route AdditionalService deep links through encoded redirect paths, and adds explicit handling for MenuType.General to support external redirect/service links more consistently. - It also broadens ruleset menu previews to include all external menu items, not only those missing an external code. --- #### **Ruleset Management** ##### Resolve "Default Text" snack when toggling screen capture tool (#155038) **Problem** - "Default Text" snack when toggling screen capture tool **Solution** - Resolve "Default Text" snack when toggling screen capture tool. response is the raw JSON body from the server ({ Message, RedirectUrl? }), not a plain string. When a RedirectUrl is present, the global AJAX handler reloads the page and shows the message afterwards. Passing the object straight to snack() would render the snackbar library's "Default Text" placeholder. --- #### **Data Warehouse** ##### Implemented performance improvements within PeopleManagement\_ETL (#155300) **Problem** - Performance improvements need to be implemented for PeopleManagement\_ETL **Solution** - Added hashrows for accUsers to improve performance - Removed Source step for Steps to improve performance/memory usage --- #### **Report Builder** ##### Make the download of the report in Report Builder fire-and-forget; resolve the problem with the first load that does not download (#146300) **Problem** - Large downloads can take a few minutes, locking the system. - Download fails with the first page load. **Solution** - Make the download of a report in Report Builder fire-and-forget; resolve the problem with the first load that does not download ##### Integrations: Bulk Additional Service Imports: DWH (#140632) **New functionality** - A new section under Integrations is available - Data Warehouse refresh - All the sources are available ##### Replace jQuery contextMenu with custom context menu (#152615) **Problem** - With the upgrade of jQuery to v4.0.0, a bunch of previously deprecated $.api functions have been removed Eg. $.isFunction & $.isArray - Some plugins still make use of these and are now outdated; one of them, jquery-contextMenu, does not have an updated version and is not compatible with jQuery 4 **Solution** - Replace the contextMenu functionality on ReportBuilder with a custom context menu (Bootstrap Dropdown / Alternative?) --- #### **Imports** ##### Add company pay frequency master data (#154755) **New functionality** - A new field is added to People Management and the PaySpace push --- #### **Identity and Authorisation** ##### Strengthen permission checks on Identity user creation (#152824) **Problem** - A change was made to remove the Auth role, as there is a new people group role to appoint new people **Solution** - Added a new policy to validate and ensure the current user can create a new identity user ##### Registration - Hide the password field during registration (#152969) - System Access tab - Password and Confirm Password slider - Both Always Required and Visible to be ON or OFF together (when one is On, so is the other and the same when Off) - Password field to be removed from Registration field - Email should be triggered, and the request should show on Registrations | Awaiting Approval - User who is approver needs the role/permissions to do so ---
