Update Candidate Document Library Filter result folders to display as expanded

Module: Document / Resource Library

Users: Candidates / Interns

Configurable: No

Notes / Benefit: Ease of use improvement – when a user searches the document library for a keyword/phrase, the folders in which matching results are found will default to being expanded so that the user can more easily see the result.

Add Default Job Posting Expiration Setting Option For No Default

Module: Job Board

Users: Employers

Configurable: Yes

Notes / Benefit: If you wish to allow it, this feature allows you to not have job posting expiration dates defaulted in for your employers.  The value will default to blank, and force the employer to input an expiration date, up to a maximum number of days that you can specify.

Send Preferred Name For Candidate To nSpire

Module: nSpire AI Integration

Users: Candidates / Interns

Configurable: No

Notes / Benefit: For customers that use nSpire AI via GL, if you are allowing candidates / interns to specify a preferred name as well as their legal first/last names, the integration will now default the nSpire account to use the preferred name.

Calendar Integration Password Expiration

Module: Calendar Integration

Users: Admin

Configurable: Yes

Notes / Benefit:  For customers using calendar integration, your IS/IT department works with GradLeaders to set up credentials for the integration.  Your IS/IT team has to set an expiration date for these credentials that are beyond GL control.  A few customers have unwittingly allowed their passwords to expire, breaking the integration.  This feature is an attempt to fend off this problem.

• New settings for the expiration date(s) and will now require an input value (if Office365 or Google).   GL will ask your IS/IT for these dates when setting up the integration.
• When a customer’s calendar integration is within 30 days of expiration, an alert message will appear as a popup on the admin dashboard.
• Alerts will start 30 days before expiration and persist until 30 days after. These alerts will display to ALL Admin users for a system and are dismissible.

Module: Co-ops/Internships

Users: Admin
