balanceAAP & BALANCEhub Upgrades

Version 3.6
October 21, 2015

  • The Open Plan page in balanceAAP and the Plans page in BALANCEhub have been enhanced to improve usability. Your list of Affirmative Action Plans has been grouped by year, and the ability to filter your plans by type has been added.

  • The Plan Archive Date has been added to the Plan Information page. This date will control when each of your plans will be archived and potentially removed from balanceAAP. For more information on our Data Retention Policy, click here.

  • A plan [Export All] option has been added to each plan’s home screen. This feature will provide users with the ability to export their entire AAP, prior to the plan being archived. The export file is a single Zip file that contains each plan’s data and Reference tables, overall plan settings, and plan reports.

  • The Errors page has been enhanced to provide more flexibility when correcting employees or individual records with multiple data errors.
  • The Narrative Templates section has been updated to provide users with a more advanced editor. The editor now closely resembles a standard word processing software. Additionally, users will be able to export selected sections, make changes to those sections and then import those changes directly into templates.
  • The IWD Utilization Goal and Protected Veteran Benchmark values have been added to the BALANCEhub Summary and Scorecard.
  • The PROGRESS SUMMARY report has been added to update plans. Similar to the PLAN SUMMARY found in Annual plans, the PROGRESS SUMMARY pulls the results from key Affirmative Action reports into a single analysis.
  • Recruitment Area Assignment in External Availability has been redesigned to perform more efficiently, including the ability to show or hide recruitment areas that have been generated by the Recruitment Area Wizard.
  • A list of users that have access to a plan via BALANCEhub can now be exported from the system.
  • Additional bug fixes and minor enhancements.
