Enterprise
New:
- In a continual effort to deliver the most up to date technology to our customers, we updated our .NET framework to the current version for Enterprise (.NET 4.7.2). As part of this, any self-hosted customers or hosted end users who are connecting via the 3-tier deployment (not apps.tempworks.com) will need to update their workstations and any other computers that access TempWorks Enterprise to the aforementioned version of .NET.
- If you are utilizing Windows 10 operating system and have the April 2018 update applied, there is no further action required. If you are utilizing Windows 10 and don't have the April 2018 update, please run this update as soon as possible.
- If you are utilizing other versions of the Windows operating system you will need to download the new .NET version from the Microsoft Website.
- Added a new option to Customer > Defaults > Asg Allocations. Users can now choose a Specific Service Rep to have the allocations applied to. This is also available in Admin > Branch > Commission Defaults.
- Added a contact list dropdown when linking a contact to a message or when merging contacts allowing the user to search for specific contacts, similar to the dropdown used for employees.
- Added the ability to pay sales tax to vendors. A new checkbox called "Pass Through Sales Tax To Vendors.” will be available when running a Subpaycons payroll run. A new configuration has also been added to determine whether this checkbox is automatically checked, this configuration is defaulted to not automatically check the checkbox. Please reach out to Support to assist with modifying this configuration for you company’s needs.
- Added new action menu option called ‘Update Vendors’, which allows you to mass update Vendor information on an order under Order > Details > Vendors.
- Added the Branch and Assigned column for First Advantage Integration results. The Branch column will automatically be added to results while the assigned column can be manually added to the results.
- Added the ability to allow any user to create new routing numbers for electronic pay, all users will now see a ‘+’ button next to the Routing number field, found on an employee record > Pay Setup > Electronic Pay, no matter what permissions they have.
Improvements:
- Updated procedure for copying orders, so that the new order created will have the same branch as the copied order rather than the branch the Customer or Service Rep is located at when the configuration ‘OrderBranchSource’ is turned on.
- Added “Job title” to the message logged when a candidate is added to an order.
- Previously, in the Time Entry screen, if a timecard had an assignment adjustment attached to it, the "Has Assg Adj" column was marked only when the assignment adjustment on the assignment page is set up using the same paycode as the paycode of that timecard. Now, the timecard will be marked “Has Assg Adj” for all paycodes if the assignment adjustment does not have any paycodes setup.
- The logic that determines which transactions are incomplete has been moved from Enterprise to SQL. The new SQL logic has been improved to fix circumstances that would display duplicate rows in the incomplete transactions form.

- Optimized the procedures responsible for the "My Recruiting Calls" widget and the "Candidates Proposed" widget.

Fixes:

- Modified how undone Check Corrections are handled for Reissued Epay Checks; this now accommodates unusual situations where a check is reissued and undone before being pulled into an ACH file.

- Corrected an issue regarding making invoice corrections to a bill only adjustments. Previously, the bill amount for the adjustment would be erroneously set to $0; this situation will be calculated properly now.
- Previously, the linked image status icon would be removed from a timecard after the transactions were posted. Now the status icon will properly display on the timecard if a document is linked even after the transactions have been posted.
- In Hot lists, canceling creating a candidate would generate an invalid operation exception message stating, “0 of x candidates created.” instead of a normal message dialog. Now this will generate a message dialog instead of an invalid operation exception one.

- Fixed annoyance issues with the “Go to Submitter” context menu in the Order > Candidates area.
- Users were previously unable to void multiple checks at once for the same Bank ID. This would occur only when the checks Bank ID did not match what was the default back for the branch that the user was. Now users will be able to void checks without error in this situation.
- Corrected an error that would come up when clicking the calculate button on the GP Calculator. This error would only show if a user had not selected a customer or had previously navigated to one during their current Enterprise session. The calculate button will no longer be able to be clicked on in this situation.
- Users will no longer be able to click on the Run Init, Import, and Generate buttons after the form is approved in the 1094c/1095c area. Users will need to first unapprove the form before clicking on the aforementioned buttons again.

- The Order Id will now be properly displayed on the email notification that is sent when a customer contact updates the status of a candidate within WebCenter.
- In the WebCenter vendor order details area, long Public Job Descriptions were being truncated and causing issues when displaying the information. This has been fixed.

JobBoard
New:
