New Features and Enhancements

This section provides a summary of all new general features and enhancements included in this release.

API

Enhanced Display of Future Dated Hires in REST Newhires API

The REST newhires API now displays Effective Dated (ED) information of future dated hires. Previously, ED fields returned blank data for these hires until the hire date was effective. This enhancement ensures that ED data is available for future hires, improving data accuracy and availability. Note that this change only applies to future hired users.

The REST newhires API now includes additional fields to display more comprehensive ED data. These additions provide a more detailed view of employee data, enhancing data analysis and decision-making processes. 

New fields in REST newhires API with mapping to ED table

Enhanced Triggers for NewHire and UserUpdated Events

This update refines the triggers for NewHire and UserUpdated events in Talent Management. Now, only hiring activities via Requisitions trigger a NewHire Event, including external new hires, rehires via requisition, and internal transfers. All other hiring activities not initiated via the Requisition module will trigger a UserUpdated Event, such as hires or rehires via the Total Talent Profile (TTP), User Management Tool, or Integrations. This update also resolves the delay when a trigger was sent during Rehire via TTP, ensuring a more timely and efficient synchronization.

Enhanced Get User API to Display All ED Fields

The GET User API now includes Effective Dated (ED) fields for future hires, providing a comprehensive view of all ED fields. This enhancement allows for the display of new fields such as user hire date, rehire date, location code, manager ID, and more. This feature also introduces a future hire tag, distinguishing future hires/rehires for easier identification and management.

Integrations

Polaris and Talent Management Integration

We have implemented asynchronous integration between Deltek Replicon Polaris and Deltek Talent Management. To initiate the integration a Talent Management Administrator logs into Talent Management and clicks the installation link available on the Integration Setup screen (Administration >> Support Tools >> Integration Setup >> Install Polaris Integration). When redirected to Polaris the user logs in and the integration exchanges all required information. This simplifies data exchange between Polaris and Talent Management.
