itris 9.2

Released January 2021

We're pleased to present itris 9.2. In this release there are 4 new features 38 improvements.

Remember to take a full backup of the itris database before updating.

✨ New Features

Mandatory Data

Data quality is a highly valued part of any database and the new Mandatory Data feature allows administrators to ensure that quality by stipulating what data is important to have at the point of creation. This is available across all main record types as well as sub-types of the records, so for example, you can stipulate different requirements on permanent jobs to contract and temporary jobs. This also includes the ability to set up mandatory requirements for other parts of the database such as comments, employment, references and more.

Record Sharing

In collaborative workplaces, the ability to quickly share a record with a colleague is invaluable. With the new record sharing feature, you can now easily share any main record with one or more colleagues and include notes. We have also included the option to share directly to the Community.

Data Exports

Seeing in-depth information directly within itris is great, but sometimes you want to export data into a printable and shareable file. We have now added an export option to the Live Jobs report, Record Groups and Search Results to a .csv file with the ability to choose which columns are included in the export. We have also added a new permission for exporting data. Rest assured that many more areas will also benefit from an export option in future releases, with the addition of report exports coming very soon.

Advanced Record Find

Not sure if the record that appears in the record find list is the correct one? Now you can perform an advanced find for those scenarios which will provide some more in-depth criteria as well as a record card so you can be sure that the record you’re looking for is the one you wanted.
