Other Key Highlights
We will also be providing a new feature for managing conditional groups and defaults. Users can now automatically populate employee data and position fields based on complex organizational and employment grouping criteria without the need for business rules. This is especially relevant for data fields such as pay group or other compensation-related elements. We are also offering improved currency handling in the “Salary vs. Team” widget. The system now shows salary information in the logged-in user’s currency, allowing for increased clarity.
