Release: July 11th, 2023

Production Environment

* Any mobile or integration updates are subject to approval by the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and/or the application that Betterworks is integrating with.

New

  • 1:1s:
    • Users can import recurring events that are outside of the currently accepted cadences (weekly, biweekly, triweekly, and monthly)
  • Feedback:
    • Super Admins can configure a scheduled feedback cycle's nomination period to 1 day (down from the previous minimum of 3 days)

Update

  • 1:1s:
    • If a user has connected their calendar to the 1:1s module, moving one instance of a recurring event to a different day/time will not prevent them from manually creating a 1:1 or prevent the Betterworks application from automatically creating a 1:1 based on the recurring event's original cadence
    • For recurring events that are canceled in the Google Calendar using the "This and following events" option, the upcoming 1:1 will automatically be updated with a strikethrough
  • Goals:
    • When a goal is reassigned, the previous owner's role will be automatically updated to Editor instead of Participant
  • Integrations:
    • If progress locking is enabled, milestones that are connected to third-party applications (i.e. JIRA, Google Sheets, etc.) will stop syncing
    • Administrators using the updated UKG Pro integration can sync the "hire date" field
