The balanceAAP & BALANCEhub upgrades will include the following:

  • The Swap Hires option on the Applicant Data table has been enhanced and renamed Apps to Hires. This enhanced feature provides users an extensive analysis in Excel format, comparing data in the Applicant and New Hire tables, allowing you to quickly reconcile inconsistencies in the data. Functions are also available to help automate some specific inconsistencies in batches to further expedite data clean-up.
  • The Availability module (External, Internal, and Factor Weights) has been enhanced to accommodate the use of Plan Groups. Plan Groups are pre-determined sets of sub plans that enable changes to be applied to multiple sub plans at a time. When Plan Groups are used to set Recruitment Areas, create internal feeder options and/or set Factor Weights, those changes will only be reflected in plans that make up the Plan Group.
  • A new advanced Search option was added to each Data and Reference table that will grant users the ability to search and filter within specified columns.
  • A new report will be available, within BALANCEhub, showing plan administrators which team members have viewed published AAP reports.
  • The ability to create separate Report Groups, based on plan type, has been added to BALANCEhub. Report Groups are used to control the reports that are displayed to users in BALANCEhub; this new feature will allow a different list of reports to be displayed in Update and Annual plans.
  • Additional bug fixes and minor enhancements

This balanceTRAK upgrade will include the following:

  • The integration between balanceTRAK and Indeed has been enhanced to include Indeed Apply. This enhanced integration will be enabled for all balanceTRAK accounts, during the week of February 15th. This feature will provide job seekers with the flexibility to apply for jobs in balanceTRAK through Indeed Apply from Indeed’s mobile app or through the Indeed Web site. Additional information on this feature is available in the attached balanceTRAK Indeed Apply article, or by contacting Product Support.
  • Individual balanceTRAK user settings have been updated to allow users to change their current time zone. Changes to individual time zone settings will automatically adjust the date/time values throughout the system.
  • For accounts that utilize the two-part Applicant Stage and Disposition Code workflow, a candidate’s Applicant Stage can be independently controlled from the Disposition within Profile Management.
  • An option has been added to Profile Management that will grant a user universal access to all locations (or other user access code) when assigned the option.
  • Additional bug fixes and minor enhancements
