1.3 Textkernel facets
Eight new custom facets will be added for Textkernel Candidate Search: three date facets and 5 text facets (multi-valued).
2. Changes
2.1 Anonymizing also per Candidate
Anonymizing is extended to perform per selected candidate. A page contains the question whether you are sure via yes and no button. The anonymization is performed via clicking the yes button. Please be advised that this is an addition to the existing anonymizing functionality and it's recommended to not use the manual option without having the functionality configured and running.
2.2 Proposal Portal: Intelligent Loading including Notification
More intelligent loading shows essential items on screen first, and a speed notification shows that in case of many candidates the loading time may be a bit longer. This maintains working speed and continuation for a Proposal Portal screen with many candidates on it.
2.3 Trigger Clean-up
Triggers will be replaced by other components, which will result in more solid and faster application. Even so a speed-up of our development process.
2.4 Option to hide the CV Drop Zone
An extra application setting has been created to hide the CV Drop Zone in the job detail page and the campus event detail page.
2.5 Open new tab Workflow page from Homepage
On the Homepage component 'Workflow Overview' CTRL+click opens a workflow page in new tab. This now works for all links.
2.6 Extra German translations
The translations for German are greatly improved. For example at the more deeper levels for 'Stellen'. [TRS-2416]

2.8 Update form Privacy Statement
A new checkbox (Privacy statement on update) is available on the Form for making the Privacy Statement visible on the update form. This could be use full when have anonymising of candidates in place. [TRS-1676]
2.9 Disable CC to user on Interview step
Whenever a user plans an interview with a candidate, they receive a CC of the email sent to the candidate. This can be disabled per interview step. For this you open the desired step in Connexys Setup, for example the step Job interview with recruiter, you add the field Do not CC user in email to the lay-out and check the field. [TRS-2376]
2.10 HTML allowed in labels Proposal Portal
HTML is allowed in all labels that are used in the Proposal Portal. This makes it possible to, for example, hide a label ( ), emphasize it (<em>) or make it bold (<strong>). Please open the article Proposal Portal - List of labels used in the portal for a list of the labels that are used in the Proposal Portal. [TRS-2475]
2.11 More fields available in Compare fieldset
More fields have been made available in the Compare fieldset on the Job application object. The fields that are available are from the Job application object and its related objects. The fieldset contains the fields that are shown on the Compare screen. Please see the Release notes for Release 6 for more information about the Compare screen. [TRS-2140]
2.12 Document URL fields replaced
The fields cxsrec__CV_URL__c, cxsrec__Extra_Document_1_URL__c, cxsrec__Extra_Document_2_URL__c and cxsrec__ Letter_URL__c are no longer used as of Release 8, and will therefore have no value. These fields have been replaced by a new picklist field cxsrec__Available_Docs__c with four values: cv, letter, extra1, extra2. This applies to both the Candidate and the Job application object. If the document is uploaded after the install of Release 8, it will be added to the new field cxsrec__Available_Docs__c. However, this is not a URL field and there is no replacement for that.
Custom fields are not added to the new field cxsrec__Available_Docs__c. Custom documents, as well as managed ones, can also be found in the Attachments (cxs) related list, where the type of document is also saved. [TRS-2568]
2.13 Prefix needed in Merge field
If the merge fields in the email templates are not working anymore, look the merge fields up and insert them again. This will automatically add the prefix in the merge field. E.g. "{!cxsrec__First_name__c}". [TRS-2262]

4. Extra
Removing: Links to Perform a Step.
You might be one of the handful customers who uses links to perform a step, e.g. in the related list Job application of the Candidate. You will find them under 'Continue Process' and/or 'End Process'. See an example illustrated below. Due to Salesforce limitations and the preparation of the implementation of Salesforce Lightning in the Resource manager we are obliged to take the decision to remove these from the application in this release 8.
Resolution: You might consider adding another field as column instead and remove the current column. See here how you can adjust this.
