The following release notes cover recent changes from the past 7 days and provide an outlook for the upcoming release.
✨Focus topics of this release
The following milestones were achieved:
| New Stuff | |
|---|---|
| Bundling of subscription and one-time purchase products | Job board owners are now able to offer combined bundles that include both one-time purchase (such as credits) and subscription commerce products. |
| Improvements | |
| Organization Groups Contact requests | The name of the organization mentioned in a contact request email is now the one of the actual organization that is sending the request. So if a user of a parent company is sending a request for a child organization, the child organization name shows up. |
| Bug Fixes | |
| Order with empty contact information despite mandatory fields | Some clients experienced missing information on the order (and order confirmation) also on mandatory fields (name, address.). We now do not allow an order to be submitted if mandatory information is missing / save the information also for the first order already |
| GDPR Checkbox not validated | As an anonymous user it was possible to submit a job application even without accepting the GDPR checkbox (although the GDPR checkbox has a required marker) This is now fixed and there is now a correct validation error on the form submission |
| Search not working in job application management | Recruiters were not able to use the full-text-search for name or job title in the job application management screen. Whatever keyword used, nothing found. It is now possible to utilize search for job applications properly. |

User Story/Goal |
| New Stuff | Bundling of subscription and one-time purchase products | Job board owners are now able to offer combined bundles that include both one-time purchase and subscription commerce products |
| New Stuff | Change of split screen image | From now on, job boards can change the split screen image in the job search. This allows job boards to include individual imagery and help applicants to find the job search results on the left side of the screen. Note: This change is available upon request and may come with additional costs. |
| Improvement | Organization Groups Contact requests | The name of the organization mentioned in a contact request email is now the one of the actual organization that is sending the request. So if a user of a parent company is sending a request for a child organization, the child organization name shows up. |
| Improvement | Add descriptions to admin backend fields | We added SEO Search Content field descriptions in the backend explaining their limitations |
| Improvement | Account cancellation request was leading to empty page | When users request account cancellation, they receive a confirmation email. Previously the cancellation link in the email redirected you to a blank page. From now on after successful account cancellation, the user now receives a cancellation message on the site: "Your account has been successfully cancelled". |
| Bug Fix | Order with empty contact information despite mandatory fields | Some clients experienced missing information on the order (and order confirmation) also on mandatory fields (name, address.). We now do not allow an order to be submitted if mandatory information is missing / save the information also for the first order already |
| Bug Fix | Job scheduling for 'Extend job runtime' bundles wrong | Recruiters were not able to use the "job schedule" feature properly for jobs with extend job runtime because they got confusing information about how many days the job will be online. If a bundle included the "Extend job runtime" upgrade feature. After selecting the bundle in the job wizard, the "job schedule" section in the job posting form showed only the default duration (45 days). Instead, it now automatically updates the days online into a combined duration with the upgrade. |
| Bug Fix | User menu drop-down shows incorrect letters | As a registered user the user drop-down menu icon showed "UN" instead of the name I have entered when registering. The icon now shows correct initial letters. |
| Bug Fix | Jobs count tokens not working for SEO | When SEO search content is created, the SEO search content jobs count was doubled. Number of items found now shows the correct number of published jobs or the number of published jobs per search (SEO search content) |
| Bug Fix | GDPR Checkbox not validated | As an anonymous user it was possible to submit a job application even without accepting the GDPR checkbox (although the GDPR checkbox has a required marker). This is now fixed and there is now a correct validation error on the form submission |
| Bug Fix | Search not working in job application management | Recruiters were not able to use the full-text-search for name or job title in the job application management screen. Whatever keyword used, nothing found. It is now possible to utilize search for job applications. |
