Here's what we released in October.

Unique URL for Reports Dashboards
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
Each dashboard now has its own URL. This link can be shared, allowing users (with correct permissions) to directly access a specific dashboard.
At the moment there is not a specific button to share this – users would just be able to copy the URL from their address bar – but in an upcoming release there will be a Share button which will make this more obvious.
One thing that has changed is in the User Activity Panel, which will show the name of the last Reports Dashboard they visited:

Adverts
Version(s): Professional/Enterprise
Candidates who have completed an application to an advert will no longer display in the prospects tab. Previously, the candidate would show on both the prospects and applications tabs, making it difficult to differentiate between candidates who had successfully applied, and those who never completed the application. This update makes it clear which candidates have clicked apply but not completed the application process.

3000 Character Limit for Candidate Summary
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
On the candidate record, we have implemented a limit of 3000 characters in the Candidate Summary like the one on the Recruiter Summary, with a character count which updates as the user types. This will help prevent candidates from adding excessive information, which could lead to potential loading speed issues for the record.

Max Potential Matches Increased to 500
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
On the Permanent and Contract workflows there is a setting within Job Configuration > Potential Matches that allows a user to select the maximum number of potential match results that are returned on a job.
The maximum number of potential matches that we currently allow to return is 100 however we have had some feedback that this is not enough, so we have increased this to 500.
The default value for this dropdown is 50.

Benchmark chart updates
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
We’ve updated the Candidate Engagement chart by splitting it out into two pie charts – one for Average User and one for Benchmark User. This means the colours for Average and Benchmark users are consistent across the Benchmark dashboard and makes it easier to see the proportions of Active and Dead data for each user type.

Public API – Actions Endpoint Pagination
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
The Actions API now supports Pagination as an optional feature. The pagination feature allows a third party to request “pages” of data with up to 1000 results at a time and the integrator will be given additional information on how many results there are in total.
This means that requests can be automated to retrieve all the expected results page by page.
By default, when requesting a list recent activity using the API we still just return the most recent 1000 results of a given range with no other information as per previous behaviour.
This allows existing integrators to update their platforms at their leisure, should they need to use Pagination.
