NEW FEATURES/CHANGES FOR 718

DECODE.DLL DETECTION

When you first start PCRecruiter now, it will give you a message letting you know to contact tech support if DECODE.DLL is missing. This file is now required for PCRecruiter's operation.

CANCEL BUTTON ON LOGON SCREEN WHEN CHANGING DATABASE

By popular demand, there is now a Cancel button on the logon screen when changing databases. If you hit Cancel, it will kick you right back into PCRecruiter with nothing changed. The only exception to this is if you attempt to logon to a new database with the wrong password, then press Cancel. This will completely exit the program. The reason for this is because if you try to log into a new database, you've just lost your last database logon state, so therefore PCR can't return you back to where you were.

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES FOR 719

ROLLUP ATTACHMENTS CHANGE/ADDITION

If you go to Action->Rollup Lists, select a rollup list, then choose Edit->Attachments->Rollup Lists, it would not display the RTF attachments correctly. This is now changed. Also, we have added the ability to use links and HTML documents as well as RTF for rollup lists. That makes rollup list attachments consistent with candidate and company attachments.

NEW RESUME FORMATTING IN ADDR

The ADDR has been reworked to match what we are working on in the Thin Client. You can now import single file resumes as well as bulk resumes. The preferred method of conversion is now into HTML. By doing this, the resumes will retain 95% to 100% of their formatting as opposed to the lesser RTF counterpart that has been a thorn for many customers.

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES FOR 720

RECURRING SCHEDULE ADDITION

Previously, you could set an item on your schedule to recur every day, week, month, or year x number of times. Now there is an addition where you can have a schedule recur every x number of days y number of times. For example, we can set up a scheduled item to recur every 90 days twice, which will schedule one at 90 days, and one at 180 days.

REMOVED SYSTEM->IMPORT/EXPORT->IMPORT RESUMES WITH PROFILES


This button is now identical to the ADDR from the NAMES tab. However, the import resumes with profiles was causing the background indexer to lock up. So this button is now gone. Use ADDR under the NAME tab for identical results.

ADDR COMPANY CLIPBOARD PASTE CHANGE

When you go to the ADDR from the COMPANY tab, PCRecruiter will now paste the clipboard in to pull the name/address/phone, etc... Under NAME, it does not paste what is on the clipboard because resumes will hold their formatting better if you use "IMPORT RESUME" from a single file as opposed to trying to cut and paste it.

ICON/WORDS RESIZING BUG

If you log off one user and log on another user and one has full screen, and one doesn't, it was resizing the icons funny. This is changed.

BLANK PASSWORD BUG

Changed it so that if you have a blank password, it will not accept anything. Previously, it would allow anything as a password.

CANDIDATES NOTES MODIFICATION

The NOTES form is now modal, meaning that you cannot do anything else until you close them. People were losing notes because they would not save them and switch to another candidate’s notes without realizing that they had unsaved notes.

SQL DUPLICATE RECORD BUG CHANGE

Code has been added under SQL to keep duplicate ID's from being created during imports, and on rare occasions, when adding new records.

NEW FEATURES/CHANGES FOR 723


ADDR MODIFICATIONS

The ADDR is back (by popular demand) to automatically pasting the clipboard when you first open it up . However, there is now a note that states you will get better results if you use the "Open Resume" button as opposed to cutting and pasting. Now, when you "Open Resume" and pull in a Word .doc file, the Set Word Document will automatically occur.

RESUME WORD DOCUMENT MODIFICATIONS

There have been some major alterations to the entry of resumes. In order to help preserve formatting when bringing resumes into PCRecruiter, there are now three different formats in use. If you are adding resumes in the usual copy/paste method, the addr screen will automatically pull the copied information in as it used to do. PCRecruiter will convert the pasted information into RTF format, and as before, some formatting may be lost. However, there is a new checkbox on the User Preferences screen which will make the default format for resumes HTML. This is the same language that web pages are made in, and can preserve most of the desired formatting. In addition, there is a new button on the Addr screen called "Open Resume." This is the preferred method of placing a resume into the database. When you click the "Open Resume" button, you can browse to the Word .doc file of your choice. PCRecruiter imports the resume, extracts the information, attaches the original Word doc to the resume screen of the record (the small "W" icon) and indexes the resume all at once. Finally, you'll notice that when the "Use Header" box is checked, a second box - "Convert to Word" appears. With this box checked, an HTML resume will be turned into a Word document with the header attached to the top when sent to print/fax, as opposed to remaining in HTML format and opening in your web browser.

CANDIDATE IMPORT COSMETIC CHANGE

Under SYSTEM->IMPORT/EXPORT->IMPORT NAMES it will now mark imported resumes to have the little file cabinet drawer graphic appear "open", where it used to not do that.

DUPLICATE CANDIDATE RECORDS UNDER ADDR

If you import a name that is a duplicate with the ADDR, a window appears showing the other duplicate names in the database. The functionality has been changed under the where if you click on one of the names, it should jump to that record instead of adding the duplicate to the database.

BACK-UPS

Just do them !! Remember, cutting and pasting the Access file to another hard drive is a great first line of defense. With SQL, be certain you have a .BAK file with the right dates and size. You can see your filenames and sizes under help/about.
