Quality of Life Improvements

Improving our platform’s usability and making it even easier to use.

Quality of Life Improvements for Scout Talent in 2022

Enhancing Your Experience

We’re thrilled to introduce a series of Quality of Life Improvements to :Recruit, aimed at refining your user experience and maximizing the platform’s potential.

Jobs Page

  • Better Version Control: Now, when revisions are made, they’re marked as “cloned,” which helps keep track of different versions. 
  • Improved Performance: We updated how the system handles the size of job postings to make the system work better and faster.

Dashboard

  • Easier Task Management: We’ve introduced ⌨️ keyboard functionality in addition to the existing drop-down menus for selecting dates and times. This improvement allows for easier task updating, giving you the flexibility to edit dates using your preferred method.

Approval Forms

  • PDF Handling: You can now easily export PDFs in Approval Forms for better document management. Simply navigate into the desired approval form and find the PDF button in the screen’s top right corner. 
  • Smoother Entity Management: We’ve simplified template management in approval forms by removing the default option for entity creation. Now, when creating templates, you have the choice to either select a default template or create a new one.
  • Improved Interaction on Forms: We made it easier to see questions that have been answered but are now disabled, whether you’re viewing or editing the form.
