◦ Settings can now include global profile fields, display a date picker or picklist fields, and use an expression builder for a username field. Settings can also be copied from one category to another.

◦ We’ve added In-Processing categories (just like the Performance Module process), a queue (for review), an option to create a user account, as well as more assignment options.

◦ We added the ability to send In-Processing notifications to admins, when people join GideonSoft via QR code or email.

◦ Admins can use presets to set default usernames, passwords and identifiers when moving multiple people at one time.

◦ Name formatting options … Display a person’s Name or Identifier in your surveys (just like in reports); or leave it up to the system default settings.

◦ More Ranking flexibility … For Ranking questions, set a minimum number of responses, instead of requiring everything to be ranked. So, now you can ask if this is one of your top 3 survey updates (for example). 

◦ Now more like the Persistent Module and Instance people pages, there are customizable columns, filtering/grouping, a watch list and bulk actions!

◦ There are now advanced filtering options, and in Performance modules, there's a location field, showing instance status and module assignment.

◦ Select a score variable for the x-axis and a variable for the y-axis, and this displays everyone in a selected role as a scatter plot. Roll over the various visual elements for more detail. Customize labels, markers, colors, tool tips, the legend, and add reference lines if you like. Available for both Custom Person and Custom Group reports.

◦ Customize as needed, displaying org-wide and instance-specific data, with the option of allowing them to be editable.

◦ An admin can use the new sidebar icon and panel to quickly access a person’s history, goals, reports and other data.

◦ The sidebar includes history and goals, and all data fields only include what admins make available.

◦ We redesigned the GideonSoft web app user experience to modernize the look & interactivity and make it more user friendly. There’s always room for improvement …

◦ A More Intuitive Layout … Easily see where a person is involved throughout the organization.

◦ We listened to your feedback, and made it much easier to add and manage people in GideonSoft!  You don’t want to have to learn yet another app. You want to just jump in and get things done.

◦ We’ve given your assessment a whole new purpose! … You’ve used GideonSoft for assessing performance and developing your roster, team or staff. Now, you can use GideonSoft for recruiting new people to determine whether they’d be a good fit, using a Persistent Module … 

◦ Show me the Data! … We know you need to see the data, and need flexibility on how you see it, so we’ve added more reports, more display options, and more features. 

◦ More Control right up front … We also know you may like to see or display summarized data right when you sign in, so we’ve added capabilities to the badges and dashboard.

◦ A Table of Contents for Web Survey takers … just like the GideonSoft mobile app, now an optional table of contents is available when completing surveys on the web. 

◦ Create and Apply “mini-templates” within existing Instances … A package can contain the necessary items to conduct a segment of evaluation, such as a peer review, and be imported to an open Instance already in progress. 

◦ Automatically Create a new Instance on your Schedule … Helps keep your GideonSoft configuration current and streamlines the process to changing to a new Instance.
