API/SOA

API Changes To Make Total Talent Profile(TTP) Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled Fields Independent From Diversity Data

The new fields (TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Disabled) display as optional fields in the following SOA/API Calls:
  • employee_personal_detail: This call already includes the diversity_eeo_gender, diversity_eeo_ethnicity, and diversity_eeo_disabled fields. A change has been made to load/save this information on hua_employee_personal_and_contact_information.
  • employee_personal_and_contact_information: The new fields have been added in the field list and validate() function.

Database Changes to Add Effective Dating for TTP Employee Class Field

We made the following database changes for this enhancement:
  • We deleted the thr_employee_class_id field from the hua_employee_work_information table.
  • We added the hua_employee_employment_record_employee_class_id field to the hua_employee_employment_record table.

Core Framework

Merging Duplicate Profiles

A new Merge Profiles feature has been added to Administration» Global Settings » System Administration » Features » Core » User Management » Merge Profiles.
Disabled by default for all groups, the feature, when enabled, allows the administrator to merge the profile of a former employee with a duplicate profile and historical data through a new Merge Profiles page (Administration » Global Settings » Your Organization » Merge Profiles). The Merge Profiles page also displays a history of completed merges through a paginated grid with the following columns, which the user can sort, as needed.

Column

Description

Profile

Full name of resulting user profile, linked to the user’s TTP

Date Merged

Date/Time when merge was performed

Employee ID

Employee ID

Merged By

Full name of the user who performed the merge, linked to the user’s TTP

Comment

Comment the user entered at the time of merge

Status

Completed or Error

Actions

A single action icon is present on each row, linking to the Merge Details page. When the icon is clicked, the View Details page is displayed with the summary of information, notes, and merge log.

To view the merge details, you can click the View Details icon on the Action column of Merge Profiles page. The Merge Details page displays the Summary Information, Notes, and Merge Log.
A Merge Profile Wizard link, available on the top right corner of the Merge Profiles page, enables you to combine two accounts:
  • Primary: A former employee account with prior work history and objects (appraisals, development plans, job application history, and so on)
  • Secondary: A new account for a job seeker with little to no work history that has not been hired nor has had onboarding initiated (when system setting Automatically Move to Hired is set to "No")
The Merge Profile Wizard has three steps:
  1. Select Primary User Profile: The Primary User Profile is the profile of the former employee which the user wants to preserve. The secondary profile will be merged into the primary upon completion of the merge. This step enables the user to select a single user record as the primary profile. Once selected, the page displays information for the user to confirm that the correct profile has been selected before proceeding to the next step of the wizard. The user can only select a former employee, not an active employee or a jobseeker who has never been employed by the company.
  2. Select Secondary User Profile: The Secondary User Profile is the profile of an external jobseeker (former employee or true external jobseeker) who is about to be hired, which should be merged into the primary profile. The primary profile selected in step 1 of the wizard is not included in the results or selected as the secondary profile. This step enables the user to select a single user record as the Secondary Profile. Once selected, the page displays information for the user to confirm that they have selected the correct profile before continuing to the next step in the wizard.
  3. Review: This final step enables the user to review the details of the merged profile. Once you click Finish, the actual merge process is initiated and cannot be reversed.


New Security Clearances Feature Allows Display on Total Talent Profile (TTP)

We have added a new Security Clearances Global feature (Features > Core > Total Talent Profile > Personal and Contact Details > Security Clearances)​ to allow you to display security clearance information gathered during the hiring process on the TTP. Two sub-features can also be enabled for this feature:

  • View Active Security Clearances 
  • View Expired Security Clearances

By default, the Security Clearance features are disabled for all groups. Clients must enable the feature for any user group they want to access this functionality.  When security information is collected during hiring, user groups with access to the Security Clearances feature will see this information displayed on the TTP in the Security Clearance section on the Personal and Contact Details tab. 


Enhanced Information Display on Manage Letter Templates Page

Users with access to the Manage Letter Templates page can now view the date a letter template was created and modified. This added information provides a more comprehensive overview of each template's history.

Original Date of Hire and Rehire Date Fields Populated with Start Date

For improved accuracy in tracking the employment period, the Original Date of Hire or the Rehire Date fields in the employment record are now populated with the Start Date collected at time of an employee's hiring. This information is stored on the Employment Details tab of the employee's TTP (for Core HR users) or in the About Me section at the top of the TTP (for non-Core HR users).

Integrated clients with (re)hires that have a future Start Date will need to make the following adjustments to allow the user to export from Talent prior to their future Start Date.

  • Costpoint, Legacy Vision/Vantagepoint, and other direct API Integrations: Set the Start Date in Talent to the desired export date. After the user has successfully exported, update the Start Date in Talent and the Hire Date in Costpoint or Vantagepoint to the future Start Date.
  • Unionpoint: No changes are necessary; users will be available for export immediately.

The following changes also must be implemented for the following bulk upload processes:

  • Bulk Upload User: Update the column name from user_hire_date to user_orig_hire_date in both file templates (Core HR/non-Core HR versions) and adjust the code to match.
    • sample_upload_user_file.csv
    • sample_upload_user_thr_file.csv
  • Bulk Upload Employee Historical Information: Update the column name from hire_date to orig_hire_date in the file template and adjust the code to match.
    • sample_upload_er_historical_file.csv

Default Enabling of Gainsight Feature for All Customers

The Gainsight PX feature is now automatically enabled for all existing and new customer sites. This eliminates the need for manual activation, ensuring immediate access to Gainsight PX's benefits. Gainsight PX enables Deltek to capture customer usage data to personalize the product experience for our customers with in-app engagements, specifically highlighting new features and guiding customers on how to use those features.

System Performance Improvement for Pages With Large Data for Translation

We have made system performance improvements for some pages with large amounts of data that needs to be translated to the local language.

AWS SSM Parameter Store Integration Library

As part of our process of moving to a multitenancy architecture, this feature introduces a library that interacts directly with the secure, AWS SSM Parameter Store service, handling related actions and exceptions. The library supports actions such as PutParameter, GetParameters, GetParameter, DeleteParameters, and DeleteParameter. It is designed to require minimal initialization, making it suitable for use during Deltek Talent Management initialization when many services may not be available. This library is expandable and designed to avoid backward incompatible changes.

This architectural change does not impact the look or experience of interacting with Talent Management.


Core HR

Effective Dating Added for Total Talent Profile (TTP) Employee Class Field

When you change the value in the Employee Class field on the Employment Details tab, you must now enter the Reason For Change, and Effective Date of the change.
We made the following database changes for this enhancement:
  • We deleted the thr_employee_class_id field from the hua_employee_work_information table.
  • We added the hua_employee_employment_record_employee_class_id field to the hua_employee_employment_record table.
A new Class column header was also added to the Bulk Upload Employee Historical Information file.

New System Fields TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Disabled, Available On Dynamic Forms

The new System fields, TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Disabled, are available for users to add to any Dynamic Form, except Requisitions. These Dynamic Form fields are available to all clients with the View Personal Information feature enabled ( Core >> Total Talent Profile >> Personal and Contact Details >> View Personal Information). These fields are viewable for all clients so that users have the option to request diversity information during the hiring process. Core HR administrators are given the extra ability to add custom values for each field, which then display on the TTP. For details, see, Total Talent Profile Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled Fields Are Now Independent From Diversity Data.

Total Talent Profile Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled Fields Are Now Independent From Diversity Data

For Core HR Users, the Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled fields on the Personal & Contact Details Tab, Personal Information section of the TTP are now separated from existing diversity information gathered during recruitment and saved in the Recruiting module. The following changes have been made based on this enhancement:
  • Total Talent Profile Personal & Contact Details Tab: The options that display in the Gender,Ethnicity, and Disabled fields are now pulled from the values defined by a Core HR administrator in the TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Disabled drop-down and multi-select lists. Selecting a value in any of these fields on the TTP does not change the employee's existing diversity selections stored in the Diversity Information area of their Resume Dashboard. Likewise, any change to the employee's existing diversity selections does not change the values selected in the Gender, Ethnicity, or Disabled fields on the TTP.

  • Drop-Down and Multi Select Lists: Options in the Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled fields on the TTP are now controlled by an administrator via the TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Disabled drop-down and multi-select list (Administration >> Global Settings >> System Administration >> Drop-down and Multi Select Lists). These lists are pre-populated with all system-defined diversity Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled values. Core HR Administrators can re-order, edit, or delete these values, as needed. Note that you can delete values in this Multi-select list even if the values have been previously selected and are in use in Talent Management.

    • Updated 3/28/2025: We have provided a fix that applies only to those with non-US Diversity values who upgraded before March 24, 2025. See Deltek Tracking Number: 2351923 in Software Issues Resolved section for details.

  • To Continue Synchronizing Diversity Values Between ATS and the TTP: Though we have separated the connection between ATS and TTP values, users can maintain this synchronization, if desired. To do this you must add matching values for each corresponding TTP diversity field in the TTP Disabled, TTP Ethnicity, and TTP Gender lists (Administration >> Global Settings >> System Administration >> Drop-down and Multi-Select Lists).

    At time of hire the logic we added checks the three diversity fields on the TTP Personal & Contact Details tab and if they are not populated, Talent Management searches the corresponding ATS diversity value's token translations and attempts to match them against the lists of allowed values in the corresponding TTP fields. Talent Management only saves values to the TTP fields if there is an exact match

  • SOA/API Call Changes: The new fields (TTP Gender, TTP Ethnicity, andTTP Disabled) display as optional fields in the following SOA/API Calls
    • employee_personal_detail:This call already includes the diversity_eeo_gender, diversity_eeo_ethnicity, and diversity_eeo_disabled fields. A change has been made to load/save this information on hua_employee_personal_and_contact_information.
    • employee_personal_and_contact_information:The new fields have been added in the field list and validate() function.

  • Migration: As a result of this change, for any users with pending self-service changes for any of these fields on the TTP, those pending changes will be removed.

New National ID Country Field Available on Total Talent Profile for Core HR Users

For Core HR customers only, a new field, National ID Country, is available on the Total Talent Profile. This field allows you to save a value for National Identifier that is not tied to your Home Address country. Saving and retrieving National Identifiers will still be subject to the same validation rules. However, National ID Country will be used instead of Home Address country.

Upon the release of 18.1, there will be a one-time migration where employees’ (current and former) National ID Country will be populated with their Home Address country. All employees, including those that enter Talent Management after 18.1, will be allowed to set and change their National ID Country.

If National ID Country is not set when updating the National Identifier, Talent Management will automatically set the employee’s National ID Country with their Home Address country. This will be done prior to validating and saving the National Identifier.

For non-Core HR customers, there is no change in how National Identifier is collected, validated, saved, or retrieved.


Rate Type Field Now Controls Whether Pay Rate Displays as Hourly or Salaried

We have changed what controls whether an employee's Pay Rate is tagged as Hourly or Annual. Previously this was controlled by the Exemption Type value. This is now controlled by the value you select in the Rate Type field, when adding or editing the Pay Rate on an employee's Total Talent Profile. (Total Talent Profile >> Employment Details >> Compensation >> Pay Rate). Because of this change the Rate Type field is now required. The value selected determines the following:
  • Salaried: If you select a Rate Type of Salaried, Talent Management labels the field Annual Pay Rate. The Pay Rate amount is determined by dividing the salary by the pay frequency. 
  • Hourly: If you select a Rate Type of Hourly: Talent Management labels the field Hourly Pay Rate and does not perform a calculation to determine the Pay Rate amount.
  • Any Other Value: The values available for the Rate Type field are determined by the Job Classification Drop-Down and Multiselect List (Administration >> Global Settings >> System Administration >> Drop-Down and Multi-Select Lists). If your company has added additional values and you select any of these values, Talent Management labels the field Pay Rate and does not perform a calculation to determine the Pay Rate amount.

Original Date of Hire and Rehire Date Fields Populated with Start Date

For improved accuracy in tracking the employment period, the Original Date of Hire or the Rehire Date fields in the employment record are now populated with the Start Date collected at time of an employee's hiring. This information is stored on the Employee Details tab of the employee's Total Talent Profile (for Core HR users) or in the About Me section at the top of the Total Talent Profile (for non-Core HR users).

Integrated clients with (re)hires that have a future Start Date will need to make the following adjustments to allow the user to export from Talent prior to their future Start Date.

  • Costpoint, Legacy Vision/Vantagepoint, and other direct API Integrations: Set the Start Date in Talent to the desired export date. After the user has successfully exported, update the Start Date in Talent and the Hire Datein Costpoint or Vantagepoint to the future Start Date.
  • Unionpoint: No changes are necessary; users will be available for export immediately.

Learning

Upgraded Rustici Engine API for Enhanced Course Management

Deltek Talent Management now uses the Rustici Engine API v2, ensuring compatibility with Rustici Engine v23. This upgrade addresses any breaking changes introduced in versions 21 and 22 and enhances course management by allowing for the creation and launch of media courses using the v2 API. The upgrade also includes the removal of the feature_lms_scorm_ppe and its feature to group entries, streamlining the course profile and learning search process.

Country and State Association for External Certifications

You can now associate a country and state with an external certification on the Add External Certification form. The new Country and State fields, linked to the Countries and State dropdowns, are optional and will appear on the External Certifications and External Certifications History sections on the Learning Profile. The Country and State fields are also included in the Import External Certifications import file and the External Certifications API. 

The State dropdown enables you to add a state name (value), abbreviation, and country. States must be associated to a country and will only be available for selection in the UI when that country is chosen first. You can edit, deactivate, make default, and delete all of these values, but you cannot delete a value once it has been used. This country and state association enhancement provides you with more detailed tracking and categorization of your external certifications.

Posting Manager

Remote Work Option for LinkedIn Job Posting

The LinkedIn job board now includes an optional Remote Work field for LinkedIn job postings. This enables you to indicate whether a job is remote or not, enhancing your ability to cross-post remote jobs on LinkedIn. This feature is available for Administrators, Hiring Managers, and Recruiters, and jobs posted with the remote work option can be searchable via the "Remote" filter on the LinkedIn site.

Cross-Posting Support for Virtual Jobs

Deltek Talent Management now allows you to submit jobs with only a country value in the location for job boards that support remote or virtual opportunities. This enhancement includes an extra data field for remote location validation and improved error messages when posting fails due to invalid location. This ensures successful cross-posting for virtual jobs on platforms like Indeed.com, while maintaining consistent behavior during manual and auto cross-posting. Cross-posting for virtual jobs will fail within Posting Manager for job boards that do not support remote locations.

Recruiting

Offer Resubmission Enhancement

Administrators, hiring managers, and recruiters can now include reasons for resubmitting both approved and rejected offers. The Offer Resubmit Reason is added through the List Management screen (Administration » Global Settings » System Administration » Drop-down and Multi-Select Lists » Select List Management » Select Listing) and includes a new definition for managing resubmission reasons, the ability to add, modify, activate, deactivate, and delete options. These are the default resubmit reasons:   
  • Revised Start Date
  • Contract Awarded
  • Renegotiated Offer
  • Revised Offer Contingencies
The resubmission action is available for:   
  1. Offers rejected by any of the approvers or the candidate.   
  2. Offers accepted by all approvers or the candidate.
The resubmission action is not available for the following scenarios:   
  1. The candidate has been marked as Hired for the requisition associated with the offer.
  2. The candidate has permanently rejected the offer by selecting the checkbox, I do not want to receive more offers for this job title when rejecting the offer.
  3. The offer has already been resubmitted. 
This functionality provides valuable data for identifying trends and improving workflows. Moreover, to provide space for displaying the resubmit reason under the Offer Status column, the Relationship column in My Offers page has been removed.


Preview Attachment on Active Candidates

A new View Attachments function that enables you to preview PDF and Word document attachments without having to download them has been added to the Attachments column of the Active Candidates and New Résumé Submissions screens. You may print, save, view document properties, and edit some details of the attachment from the preview screen. With this update, the Download Résumé/CV Attachments feature (Administration >> System Administration >> Features >> Recruiting >> Résumé) has been renamed as Download/View Résumé/CV Attachments.

Tooltips for Hire Date and Start Date

Tooltips are now added for the Hire Date and Start Date fields, as shown below.

Field

Tooltip

Hire Date
"The date entered in this field should represent the date of the hiring transaction."
Start Date
"The date entered in this field defines the beginning of the employment period and will display as such on the Total Talent Profile."
The tooltips were added to these fields on the following pages:
  • Onboarding (Recruiting >> Onboarding >> Onboarding Queue)
  • Résumé Dashboard >> Workbench (upon Hired status)
  • Change Candidate Status (Bulk action from Active Candidates screen)
  • Recent Hires 

Enhanced Onboarding Bundle Selection

Deltek Talent Management now enables you to choose the most suitable onboarding bundle from the recommended options during the onboarding process. Step 2 Bundles is now added to the Onboarding process to ensure that relevant documents, tasks, and forms are assigned to you to improve your onboarding experience.

Administrators also have the option to control whether the Onboarding Bundle selection step is required during the onboarding process. Added under the Onboarding category (Administration » Global Settings » System Administration » System Settings » Onboarding » Onboarding Bundle), this new system setting, which is enabled by default, enables you to decide if at least one bundle must be selected before proceeding to the next step. If the setting is disabled, you can move forward without selecting any bundles, providing more flexibility for different hire types such as new hires, rehires, or internal transfers.

Moreover, Talent now uses the AND operator to combine Country and State criteria when fetching onboarding bundles, allowing for a more precise selection of onboarding bundles, thereby improving efficiency for Administrators, Recruiters, and Hiring Managers during the onboarding process.



Performance Improvement for My Offers Page

We have improved the performance when loading the My Offers page.


Reporting Tool

New Report Working Area for Creating, Editing, and Viewing Reports

The Deltek Talent Management Reporting Tool has been redesigned to deliver a more streamlined and user-friendly experience for creating, editing, and viewing reports, all from the same Report Working Area.
  • Create a Report: Click the Create Report option from the top navigation or Click Reporting >> Create Report to access the Report Working area.
  • Edit a Report: On the Reports Management screen, click the Actions menu and select Edit to edit a report in the Report Working area. Click the Pop-up/Tab toggle to view the report in the main screen or in a new window. You can also still edit reports in the Report Wizard by clicking Actions >> Edit in Report Wizard.
  • View/Run a Report: On the Report Management screen, click Actions >> Run to view the report.
Create a Report in the Report Working Area
You have three options to get started creating reports on the Report Working Area:
  • Use a Template: Report Templates allow you to create a report using any published standard report as a template. On the Report Working Area, click Use a template (or click Tools >> Templates) to load a list of reports in the Templates widget. Click a report from the list to load that data in the Report Working Area. Click File >> Save a new report, then confirm to save the report in My Reports, then modify the report as desired.
  • Start with a Category: Use a pre-built category with frequently used fields as well as common joins, calculations, and summaries for a quick way to get started creating a report. You access the Categories widget by clicking Choose a Category on the Report Working Area, or selecting (Tools >> Categories). With a category selected, the Reporting Tool adds special data objects to the report, which include commonly-used fields that appear at the top of the listed objects. Category objects cannot be re-ordered or removed individually. If you are not currently using any of the category objects, you can change the category by selecting a new category. This removes the special objects associated with the original category and adds a new set of objects associated with the new category. A report can only be assigned to one category at a time.
  • Drag and Drop Columns:  Use the Fields & Data Objects widget to add data from Talent Management to reports. The widget can be launched at various points of the report creation process. Launch the widget from the Tools menu (Tools >> Fields and Data Objects), from the Create Reports screen (Start adding columns button), or by selecting the Add Columns option on the menu bar when creating or editing a report.
Improved Editing Experience
  • Concurrent Editing Sessions: The Reporting Tool editor now supports multiple editing sessions, allowing you to work on multiple reports simultaneously. Unsaved reports are persistent and remain available even after closing the tab or window. These editing sessions are maintained until the report is saved, discarded, or the user logs out of the Reporting Tool. Additionally, links to unsaved reports are conveniently located in the left navigation menu, and a new Unsaved Reports widget in the Tools menu lists all available sessions. This feature enhances your productivity by allowing you to manage and switch between multiple report editing sessions seamlessly.
  • Undo/Redo and Edit History Functionality: The Reporting Tool now includes the ability to Undo and Redo up to 25 actions. This feature is available when creating and editing reports, and can be accessed via Report Actions Menu Bar icons or keyboard shortcuts. The Edit History widget, found in the Tools menu, provides a detailed view of your edit history and supports basic search filtering. This functionality enhances your editing process by providing a safety net for changes and a clear view of your editing history.
  • Dockable Widgets: Most Reporting Tool functions are managed in widgets, or small, movable dialogs that contain the function's options and actions. For example, all the actions on the Report Working Area's Tool menu open in widgets, as does the File >> Open a Report function.
    • Docking: When a widget is opened, by default it docks to the right-hand side of the report working area. You can specify right or left docking from the Tools menu on the Report Working Area. There is a limit to one docked widget open at a time. However, you can have unlimited undocked widgets open at once. To launch an undocked widget, press the Shift key when opening the widget. Undocked widgets are cascaded. To bring one to the front click in any visible part of its window or select the action again from the menu (For example, click File >> Open a Report to bring forward the Open a Report widget).
    • Actions: The widget title area contains a spinning activity icon that indicates activity is in progress, a Close icon, and a Help icon to access tips for using the widget. Widgets also offer as-you-type search functionality and a resizable docking area for added convenience.
Report Creating, Editing, and Viewing Functions
  • Report Actions Menu Bar: Access report actions and functions from this bar of menus at the top of the Report Working Area:
    • File Menu: Use the Report Actions File menu to perform tasks such as saving, cancelling editing, and exporting to a variety of formats.
    • Options Menu: The Options menu on the Report Working area lets you quickly tailor your report creation, editing, and viewing experience. You can define options and preferences such as the report name and description, report visibility, intended audience for the report, and style.
    • Tools Menu: Use the Tools Report Actions menu to open the tools, or widgets, you use to build reports, such as Field & Data Objects and Filtering.
  • Easy Column Grouping in Report Creation and Editing: When creating, editing, or viewing reports, you can click the Grouping icon in a column header to organize related data elements together in one row. For example, if you have a report that contains Hiring Managers and qualified candidates for their requisitions, you can group the report by Hiring Manager to create a report with a row for each Hiring Manager that lists all their qualified candidates.  You can also use the Grouping widget for more control over how you group (In the Report Working Area, click Tools >> Grouping). The Grouping widget allows you to add new groupings, select columns to group by, and use expressions for more complex groupings. This functionality uses the MySQL GROUP BY statement.
  • Expression Editor: The Report Working Area contains an Expression Editor with similar functionality to the Report Wizard Expression Editor. It allows you to quickly create and edit SQL statements for your report using a graphical interface that allows you to drag and drop content like data objects, functions, and operators to build statements graphically. You can also use the Column formatting, Aggregate functions, and Options sub-menus to quickly add common functions and formats. Advanced users can choose to Switch to SQL View and manually enter their own SQL statements. Access the Expression Editor by right-clicking in a report column and selecting Edit with Expression Editor.
  • Report Filtering: From the Report Working Area, you can add filters when creating, editing, or viewing a report, allowing you to customize the displayed results. You create and modify filters in the Filters widget. Click the Filter icon (or click Tools > Filters) to open the Filter widget. There are three types of filters:
    • Prompted: When a Prompted filter is added to a report, the report viewer inputs values to tailor what displays on the report.
    • Static: When a Static filter is added to a report, the filter is always applied to the report with the conditions set by the creator, without input from a report viewer.
    • Audience: An audience filter matches the keys in your report's objects to the Talent Management user ID, allowing the report creator to set conditions in the filter that limit data visibility based on the viewer's User Group permissions (For example, defining a filter that only shows requisitions if the viewer is a Hiring Manager). This feature helps maintain data security and relevance.
Report Column Actions Menu: The Column Actions menu is accessed within a report table on the Report Working Area and is used to perform column-specific actions available to the current user.  The actions available depend on your permissions and on whether you are creating, editing, or viewing the report. Actions are available when viewing and editing reports, and can be accessed by clicking on a column's title, right clicking anywhere in a column, or via the keyboard by navigating to a title and pressing Enter or the Spacebar. The menu supports keyboard navigation and includes features such as multi-select lists, single-select lists, and general menu functionality. When creating or editing reports, the menu contains additional actions for greater customization and control. Menu Options:
    • Rename Column
    • Copy
    • Delete
    • Combine with other columns
    • Add filter on this column
    • Edit with Expression Editor
    • Column formatting
    • Aggregate functions
    • Options: Show average in footer, Show total in footer, Display HTML tags when present
  • Reporting Tool Column Sorting: You can now sort by columns in reports by clicking on the Sort icon in the column's header. Click a column's Sort icon to toggle between sorting off, sort ascending, and sort descending. Note: If columns are grouped, there is no option to turn off sort. You can also manage sorting from the Sorting widget (On the Report Working Area, click Tools >> Sorting). Use the keyboard for additional sorting options:
    • Click + Shift : Moves the column to the front of the list of sorted columns.
    • Click + Control + Shift : Toggles the direction between Ascending / Descending, but preserves the current sorting position in the list of sorted columns.
    • Click + Control : Moves the item to the end of the current sorting list.
  • Saved Views: Use Saved Views to store report options and actions, including column sorting, filtering, grouping, active charts, and more to use on other reports. After saving, you can apply a Saved View by opening a report in the Report Working Area and clicking the Saved View icon in the Report Actions Toolbar. When scheduling reports, distribution lists can also use Saved Views.  
Other Report Functions and Tasks
  • Streamlined Process to Merge Related Columns into One Column: The Reporting Tool now allows you to combine multiple columns that contain related data (for example, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name) into one Column. This feature eliminates the need for the Expression Editor to combine columns, making it quicker and easier to create common sense data fields such as Full Name or Full Address.
  • Auto-Aggregate Function in Reporting Tool: The Reporting Tool now contains an Auto-Aggregate function that automatically adds a default aggregate function to any non-grouped/non-aggregated column on a report. This ensures that all items that are grouped are visible, rather than only the first item in the grouping. The default function used is GROUP_CONCAT(), with new line as the separator. A report creator has access to common and more advanced aggregate functions. A report viewer may have access to common aggregate functions, if the creator has not added groupings or modified the default aggregation function on a column. 
    Tip: If you have permissions to copy a report as a report viewer, you can save a copy of the report and modify groupings and aggregation functions to suit your needs.
  • Pivot To Columns Feature: You can now create and view crosstab and pivot reports more efficiently using the Pivot to Columns feature (Right click a column >> Select Pivot To Columns).  Crosstab and pivot reports contain groupings and at least one non-grouped column, typically one that uses aggregate functions ( For example, SUM, MAX, COUNT). When you select Pivot to Columns, the value in each row of the selected column becomes a column, and the non-grouped/ aggregated column associated with the column becomes the row values within the new columns
  • Report Objects Widget for Advanced Reporting Functions: Advanced Reporting Tool users with a strong understanding of MySQL can use the Report Objects widget to manage a report's data objects (Tools >> Report Objects). This feature is only accessible while creating or editing reports. When opened the Report Objects widget provides a simple visual representation of how the report's objects are structured and joined. Click on the object title to expand options for adding, removing, cloning, and joining objects.
  • Reordering Columns: Report columns can be re-ordered by clicking a column header and dragging and dropping to a new position.

Enhanced Date Filter Functionality in Reporting Toolkit

The updated Reporting Toolkit now correctly interprets date filters created from report columns with date formatting. This improvement ensures accurate results, even when the date value is formatted differently, such as "Monday, July 1st". The system now automatically ignores any DATE_FORMAT usage within the value when applying the backend filter, allowing for accurate date filtering while maintaining the desired column formatting in the output. This enhancement simplifies the report creation process and improves the accuracy of your data analysis.

Introducing Two New Standard Reports

We have introduced Two New Standard Reports:

Unable to Edit Letter Template Details

Job Code Display Issues

Deltek Tracking Number: 802779

Deltek Tracking Number: 2168645
Description: When you entered text in the Comment field on the Additional Information tab of the Total Talent Profile the text was incorrectly translated from "testing" to "Testing required for this Position" in several locations in Talent, such as the History tab, Self-Service Tab, Pending Approvals and All Pending Approvals screen.

Core HR

Updated 3/28/2025: Migration Did Not Work as Accepted for those with Non-US Diversity Values in the TTP (Gender, Disabled, Ethnicity)

Deltek Tracking Number: 2351923 
Description: When the new Core HR TTP diversity lists of Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled were released recently, the options of these new lists were pre-populated with US diversity (Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled) values. For customers collecting non-US diversity data, these values were not properly rendered in the TTP. This was because the data collected from the Recruiting Module did not have a corresponding value in the new lists and, therefore, did not carry over properly from Recruiting. This was a display issue only. No diversity data was lost or needs to be collected again. See TTP Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled Fields Are Now Independent From Diversity Data, in the Enhancements section, for additional information.

This fix applies only to those with non-US Diversity values who upgraded before March 24, 2025. Any upgrades after March 24, 2025 will not be impacted.

About the Fix: This fix populates the three new Core HR diversity fields with all system defined diversity values for Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled. Then, the data migration will be rerun to carry over existing employee data into the new fields, and the TTP will properly reflect the diversity selections previously made in the Recruiting Module. If you have provided diversity data from more than one supported locale in Recruiting, the most recent selections for Gender, Ethnicity, and Disabled will be reflected in the new TTP fields.

National Identifier Inaccurate

Deltek Tracking Number: 2344064

Additionally, the Employee Class could not be updated when the job title was blank in the User Interface, while conversely, the Employee Class should not have updated on the Total Talent Profile for a user without a Job Title.
