For updates, any data dictionary fields will be updatable as long as these fields are specified under special tag.
“HrDataAPIUpdate’ in the datadictionary.
Multiple fields and multiple records can be updated with a single API call.

Feature : You can export data from the Work Queue to a .csv file using the Exportfeature. This feature is available to anyone who has permission to work with the work queue. When selecting the export button, the current filtered data will be exported to a CSV. This is a synchronous action, so the user will see a confirmation box warning that large data sets can take a while to generate. The user can choose to proceed or cancel the job.
Importance : Many clients have requested some basic reporting needs. Rather than building a complex reporting tool, we found that many scenarios could be solved simply by allowing them to export the filtered data displayedon their work queue to a CSV.

Feature : With this enhancement, you can now re-assign a new hire activity separately from the original activity. An email notification is sent by default to the person the activity has been re-assigned to.

If checked, the new hire activity for that candidate is also re-assigned to the new user. Previously, both would be reassigned ✔The New Hire activity can also be re-assigned separately by the new re-assign option for notifications. ✔Any notification that appears on the Work Queue can now be re-assigned in this manner. ✔For any N1 notification (standard Onboarding, Custom Onboarding, Crossboarding), it is mandatory to specify the post controller as KMS.XpressHR.BLL.SF.NewHireActivitiesPostStepController, XpressHR.BLL.SF ✔An audit trail entry, with the tag NOTIF_REASSIGN, is made when an notification is reassigned. ✔Notification to be sent to new assignee is available but OPT-IN to be consistent with current behavior.
