New Features and Enhancements

This section describes the new features and enhancements included in this release.

Core Framework

Improved Password Policy

To strengthen account security and better align with current security best practices, we have enhanced the password validation rules used by Deltek Talent Management. As a result, users creating accounts will now be prevented from selecting passwords that are commonly used, insecure, based on predictable patterns, or derived from personal information.

Examples of blocked password patterns now include:

  • Repetitive characters (3+ consecutive identical chars):"aaa", "111"
  • Sequential ascending patterns (3+ consecutive):"abc", "123", "xyz"
  • Sequential descending patterns (3+ consecutive):"cba", "321", "zyx"
  • Common keyboard patterns:"qwerty", "asdfgh", etc.
  • Frequently used weak passwords and common variations
  • Passwords containing personal information such as name, email, or date of birth

This enhancement improves the security posture of the application and helps reduce the risk associated with weak password usage.


New Race Category

The new federally defined race category is now available for external job seekers, internal job seekers, and system users wherever the US Diversity Race field is configured to display. Inactive by default, administrators can enable the new category by clicking # of Options in the Race row through Settings > Administration > Recruiting > Configuration > Diversity Data Collection for the Recruiting module, and through Settings > Administration > Global Settings > System Administration > Drop-down and Multi-select Lists > TTP Ethnicity for the Total Talent Profile. Once enabled, the new “Middle Eastern or North African (not Hispanic or Latino)" option displays under the Race dropdown selection under the employee's Diversity Information and the Ethnicity dropdown selection of the employee's Total Talent Profile.

Note: Before enabling this new Race category, ensure that your ERP/HRIS is ready to accept this new value. Since the Costpoint integration has not been updated to receive this new value, please review upcoming Costpoint release notes for when to enable this value in Talent.

Update to jQuery and Bootstrap Core Libraries
