Enhancements

HR Attribute Data Mapping under Service Desk Configuration

Hire2Retire now supports the mapping of HR attributes across all Service Desk applications, enabling users to create tickets using attributes from both HR and identity management systems.

Manual File Upload in Hire2Retire UX

In addition to manually processing employees in the Hire2Retire user interface through form submission, Hire2Retire now offers the option to process employees by dropping files onto the flow design page. This feature provides users with the flexibility to process multiple employees at once. This feature is available for flows that use the Report or Extract Data integration method.

Fixed Bugs and minor improvements

  1. Resolved the issue of displaying email write-back events. Hire2Retire now only show email write-back events on the observe page when there is an email change in HR.
  2. Relocated the employee attribute exclusion list to the last position under each lifecycle.
  3. Updated labels to better align with users’ understanding.
  4. Scheduled report notifications and reports now display events in the local time zone, enhancing user experience. Instead of showing events with execution times in GMT format, Hire2Retire converts and presents them in the user's local time zone on the observe page, in emails, and in event reports.
  5. Addressed the issue of shared mailboxes, ensuring the removal of licenses and group memberships after converting a mailbox to a shared mailbox to prevent data loss.
  6. Enhanced performance in handling Entra ID group memberships.
  7. Hire2Retire now supports one more option of deleting accounts after 60 days.
  8. If the user selects a userAccountControl value other than the defined ones (512, 514, 66048, and 66050), an error message will be displayed with a description of the unsupported AccountControl value.
  9. When multiple entries with the same employee ID are found in AD, account deletion is scheduled if the aging period interval is in the future according to the termination date; else, the account is deleted immediately after termination.
  10. If groups with the same display name exist in group memberships like Entra ID DL, the error message in a partial success status will show multiple entries found.
