Cornerstone is updating their jQuery Library to version 3.6.

Any pages that contain custom JavaScript should be reviewed and tested to ensure compatibility with jQuery v 3.6.

With this enhancement, a Custom Reports Usage Report is added to the Import Your Custom Reports flyout in Reporting 2.0. The report is only available to administrators and provides an export of custom report usage data in the portal that has been added to the Reporting 2.0 migration tool.

Note: This functionality will be available on 13 April 2021.

With the Capabilities Library and Skills Profile:

• Cornerstone's AI-powered Skills Graph automatically imports skills into the Capabilities Library. (Administrators can screen skills before they are published for employees to see.)
• Cornerstone's AI-powered Skills Graph automatically associates relevant skills to each employee job title using data collected from over 250 million profiles worldwide, across all industries and organization sizes.
• Employees can declare which skills they currently have, which skills they want to further develop, and which ones they do not currently want to develop. (Employees are given a jump start with automatically suggested skills they can declare and the ability to view full skill descriptions.)
• Employees can also self-rate their proficiency, interest, and enjoyment for specific skills, and receive skill proficiency ratings from their peers.
• Organizations can continue to use their internally defined skills in addition to the skills from Cornerstone's Skills Graph.
• Organizations should experience a faster implementation time to get their capabilities library up and running.

The following Learning Details enhancements are available with this release:

• Resources - Administrators can now add resources to instructor-led training (ILT) sessions via the Details step of the session creation process.

• Withdraw Penalties - Administrators can now configure withdrawal penalties for instructor-led training (ILT) sessions via the Details step of the session creation process.

The "Learning in the Flow of Work" integration brings the Cornerstone Learning catalog directly to learners in their key productivity application. With this enhancement, Microsoft Teams users can add a chatbot to Teams that lets them search for and share training, all linked to the Cornerstone portal. Learners can also receive notifications about training with upcoming due dates.

Note: The Microsoft Teams integration is not yet available, and the availability date is yet to be determined.

With this enhancement, when acting on a session approval request through My Team or via the Pending Requests Standard Report, approvers are prevented from approving or deferring a session request when the session registration deadline has passed. When an attempt is made to approve or defer a session after the registration deadline, upon clicking Submit, a message is visible to approvers to make it clear that the request cannot be approved because the registration deadline has passed.

The learner will not be moved to an Approved status for the session and will not mistakenly think they have a session seat reserved for them because they see an Approved status in their transcript or receive an email indicating their request is approved.

With the new rapidRoster Integration, customers can automate roster and attendance management by leveraging company badges, barcodes, or mobile devices for classroom registration, attendance, and completion.

Note: This integration is not yet available, and the availability date is yet to be determined.

With this enhancement, report search behavior is changed for Custom Reports, so that when a report filtered by Training Title is run, the results include titles from all available languages as long as they match the filter search criteria. This enhancement can also improve the stability and performance of Custom Reports during peak performance hours.

With this enhancement, customers can now determine whether they would prefer to send the Job Description field or the job ad in Cornerstone to map to the Detailed Job Description field in Broadbean.

To enable this feature, toggle on the existing Candidate Profile field on the Broadbean Job Posting integration Settings page in Edge.

This feature was released as part of the 19 March 2021 patch.

With the April '21 release, when the Applicants count is selected from the Manage Requisitions page in Production and Pilot portals, users will be redirected to a filtered view of Manage Candidates instead of Manage Applicants. Support for defects related to Manage Applicants will also stop at this time.

The deprecation was first announced in the May '20 release.

With the April ’21 Release, Cornerstone will end support of Hiring Manager Shortlist and support of defects will stop at this time. A deprecation date has not yet been set. Customers that utilize the Hiring Manager Shortlist are encouraged to begin using Request Candidate Feedback to share candidates with hiring managers and other business stakeholders and collect feedback.

With "STELLA," the Iventa Job Post integration, you can book and manage job ads and recruitment marketing directly from Cornerstone and thus generate applicants. The integration is a simple and efficient way to post job advertisements directly from your Cornerstone Recruiting platform to all media channels, from online and social media to job search engines, communities, and Google.

The integration is available in Edge Marketplace on 3 May 2021.

With this enhancement, LinkedIn will be removed from the Social tab on the My Account page. Removal will eliminate defects that have arisen as a result of keeping it on the page.

In addition, the LinkedIn checkbox in the Social section on My Account Preferences will also be removed.

The Outmatch Video Interview integration transforms your recruiting process with a video interview platform designed to boost efficiency in the hiring process and create engaging candidate experiences.

Outmatch lets recruiters create engaging recruitment experiences, while still managing, inviting, and reviewing candidates through the Cornerstone platform. Candidates complete the video interview via the Outmatch platform, where they can also experience your brand through engaging media and video content.

This feature was released as part of the 5 March 2021 patch.

The following enhancements are made:

• Former employees who apply to a new job before their employee record is deleted, will also become eligible for data deletion.
• Anonymize subsequent "optional" resumes with New Submissions anonymization enabled.
