JR.Direct Release Notes (May 27, 2021)

Rotations - Migrate Associated Records

When a placement is being rotated, users will now have an option to migrate or expose the following list of associated records under the completed placement to the newly rotated current placement.

  • Placement Attachments
  • Placement Forms & Submissions
  • Placement Events

By selecting the check boxes, the selected associated records will travel with the new placement when they are rotated. With this new feature, users can cut down on spending time in tracking back through the completed placements to see the communication records history for a particular placement.

Note: We will be adding more options to this feature in the coming weeks to have the ability to migrate more associated placement records to the newly rotated placement.

Email Alert - Placement Status Change

When a placement status is updated on JR.Direct, an email notification is triggered to the finance team (user group) assigned to the placement office under the Notification Groups page on the admin dashboard. We have now added the following new field to the placement status change alert email template:

  • Placement Kind

Note: Please contact our support team if you would like to know more details about the email notification groups feature on JR.Direct

Reminders Search - Completed Reminders

Users can mark reminders as completed from the edit reminder pop-up modal. But the completed reminders were still being displayed with incorrect statuses on the reminders search page. We have fixed this issue and starting from today, all the completed reminders will be displayed with the completed status under the reminders search page and also from the due & upcoming reminders widget on the dashboard.

Note: Any existing reminders with incorrect statuses were also fixed.

Email - Attachments Size Validation

On JR.Direct, users currently have the ability to upload multiple attachments while sending outbound emails from different entities and also from the bulk actions feature on the search pages. To avoid putting strain on the background jobs, we have decided to allow only 15MB of file size(s) to be attached against an email(s).

Users can either attach a single file or multiple files against an email, but the maximum total attachments size will be restricted only to 15MB from today.

Phone Numbers - New 10 digit validation

We currently have a phone number validation of maximum 12 characters on both JR.Direct and Gateway systems. But based on the feedback received through Zendesk from multiple customers informing us about some of the phone numbers being saved incorrectly in the system (phone numbers with extra digits). 

Hence, we have changed the current phone number validation to only 10 digits (max & min) across both the systems. For all the new records (candidates and company contacts) that are going to be created in the future, a new validation message will be displayed if the phone numbers are entered incorrectly on both JR.Direct and Gateway.

Note: Any existing incorrect phone numbers in the system will not be effected because of this change.

Training Contact - Year 6 Dates

Under the training tab on a placement page, currently we have the contract dates that can display the dates of up to 60 months (5 years) of apprenticeships duration. Starting from today, we have added a new set of contract dates that can display the dates of up to 72 months of apprenticeships duration. Here are the new fields that we have added to the contract dates:

  • Year 6 Start Date
  • Year 6 Expected End Date

Qualifications - Display Nominal Durations

We have done a tiny UX update to all the qualification fields on JR.Direct. This new UX upgrade will display the nominal duration of a qualification when a qualification is selected.
