Talent Gateway: Gateway Questionnaire Reporting

As per the current functionality, the DIT does not provide an output field to specify which Gateway Questionnaire (GQ) is selected for jobs when using a Talent Gateway.

The Requisition sections include a Posting subsection, but they do not offer an option to output the GQ name.

Starting with this release, the ‘GQ Name’ field has been added to both the ‘Filter Worksheet’ and the ‘Output Worksheet’ under Requisitions > Posting Details.

• In the Filter Worksheet, this field lists all available GQs, allowing clients to select criteria and generate reports accordingly.

• In the Output Worksheet, the field retrieves the GQ details of the requisition for inclusion in the report.

Internal reference Azure Board # 46930.

Data Insight Tool: Standard Date Output Format

Currently, in the 'Requisitions > Posting Details' section, the standard date fields are displayed as either 'Date' or 'Date-Time' based on the selection made during report creation. However, this option is not available for date fields in the 'Requisitions > Dates' section.

Starting with this release, the option to choose ‘Date’ or ‘Date-Time’ for all the date fields is now available in ‘Requisitions > Dates’ in the output worksheet.

Internal Reference Azure Board # 46931.

Data Insight Tool: GRIDROWCOUNT for non-administrator user

Communications: Digital Signature for Offer Letter

Starting with this release, a secure method for verifying the identity of offer letters generated from BrassRing has been implemented to enhance document security and reliability.

A new client setting, "Enable Digital Signature in Documents PDF" is now available.

Path: Workbench > Edit Client Settings > Under Restricted Settings > Enable Digital Signature in Documents PDF

Type: Radio Button Yes/No

Configure: Select this button to upload a valid digital certificate, the following message is displayed:

  “You have enabled the 'Enable Digital Signature in Documents (PDF)' setting but have not yet uploaded a valid certificate. To fully use this feature, please upload a valid certificate and save this client setting again.”

Note: Digital certificates with the .pfx file extension are currently supported, allowing only one active certificate per client. Clients can obtain these certificates from any of the Adobe Approved Trust List Members such as eMudhra and upload them in the .pfx format via the BrassRing Workbench on the Edit Client Settings page, following the steps mentioned above.

Once the client setting is enabled, a new configuration becomes available at the document level within BrassRing.

A new setting is displayed within the template attributes: “Apply digital signature while generating PDF”.

Type: Radio Button Yes/No

Default: No

This setting applies exclusively to Documents ONLY.

BrassRing applies the configured digital certificate to the PDF upon generation when enabled.

This feature is applied to newly generated documents. Documents created before enabling the 'Apply Digital Signature' template attribute do not have the digital certificate applied.

Upon receiving the offer letter as a PDF with a digital certificate, the candidates can view the certificate as a green checkmark and signature panel at the top when opened using Adobe Reader.

The Job ID and Req Title are displayed in the signature details under the heading “Reason”.

This assures the candidates of the authenticity of the offer letter and protects the company from legal issues by having an officially signed document.

However, if the PDF is opened in any browser, the digital certificate may not be visible. Instead, certificate details can be found at the bottom of the first page.

In case of an expired certificate, the following message is displayed:

In case of any error while applying the digital signature, the following message is displayed

"There was an issue applying the digital signature associated with this document to the form, and these documents will not include it.  Do you want to proceed generating the document without the signature?"
