Release Process
Avionté continuously improves its products. These improvements are installed to existing application structure; each release is a set of improvements to the previous release. The release notes are organized in a separated manner per release and are not aggregated into one page.
For example, in the event a customer's application is upgraded from v15.2.7 to v17.1, changes between those releases will be available through multiple sets of release notes (from 15.2.7 up to and including 17.1 notes.)
Navigate to Support Center > General > Release Notes to view Avionté's available release notes.
Release Versioning
Changes are rolled forward so the patch number will reset to zero for each subsequent release (i.e. 15.2.0.2 read as major release 15.2, patch 2, 15.2.1.0 read as minor release 15.2.1).
Deprecation
Generally, "deprecation" refers to something that is acknowledged but discouraged. A software deprecation is the removal process, or discouragement of use, of an application feature. An application feature may be deprecated because it has been replaced, doesn't work as expected, or its support requirements outweigh its benefit or use.
Avionté release notes provide a list of items scheduled for removal as well as a list of items recently removed.
Planned Removal
Web Portals |
In upcoming releases, web portal functionality will gradually be replaced with functionality provided by the Aero platform. |
Job Board |
In an upcoming release, the currently used job board will be replaced with the new functionality available in the Aero platform. |
Config Option OverrideTxnGeoCodeBy |
The config option OverrideTxnGeoCodeBy will be removed in an upcoming release. Due to advances in GeoCode settings in the application, the config option is no longer necessary. Unless a client has a customization dependent on this config option, there will be no effect on applications and there is no client action needed. |
SQL Server 2008 R2 |
The full-featured edition of Microsoft's SQL Server is being deprecated (planned for obsolescence) in this release and will be obsolete in the 17.2 release. All of its features are available in the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition. |
Removed in this Release
None |
The 17.1 release does not include the removal of any features.
It is notable that the aRefChex integration is temporarily unavailable in any Avionté version, but is planned for future re-integration.
It is also notable that SQL Server 2008 R2 is being deprecated (planned for obsolescence) in the 17.2 release. See more details in the Planned Removal table above. |
Recently Removed
None |
No functionality has been removed in recent releases. |

Release Overview
This Release Overview section provides a summary look at all of the features made available in this release. Each summary provides links that will auto-scroll down to more detailed release information which will in turn include links to the associated help articles.
Along with updates to the core application and the introduction of a new resume reference integration, Avionté version 17.1 releases the Aero platform to General Availability.
New Development
This section provides a summary look at all of the features made available in this release. Each summary provides links to more detailed information in turn the associated help articles.
Aero Platform
The 17.1 release builds upon the Aero platform's solid foundation of data integrity by focusing on your specific business processes in the applicant's environment. Job boards may now be branded to your identity, application workflows can be customized to your job postings, and candidates can share every post with the world on their social networks.
Themes
With the new "Themes" section in the Aero platform, Admin users can brand sections of the Aero platform with their company logo and customized sets of web colors.
Accent and header colors can be adjusted with the use of a color palette or a text field that recognizes standard web color hexadecimal format then saved as a "themed" collection of characteristics. A maximum of five themes can be defined in the Aero platform.
For instance, in the image below, the "Twitter" theme is comprised of a blue Base accent color, a gray Header bar color, etc. It can be used by other users quickly and repeatedly avoiding the need to re-create a color palette for each new job board.
Themes - Related Content
Share a Job Posting
Job postings may be shared via a URL or a branded icon to sites other than an Avionté job board. The standard list of share buttons include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Copy Link, Message, and Mail.

Messages /Activities
The "Messages" functionality takes the place of the "Activities" feature that exists in previous versions of the Aero platform. The Recruiter Module leverages messages to integrate logging and activity tracking with that in the Core Application. Messages can now be viewed, added, and edited in both the Core Application and the Recruiter Module. They are also included in the Staffing Action report and advanced query.
Adding Messages to the Recruiter Module is important for multiple reasons including the fact that the functionality generates metrics used to track activity, measure performance, and award bonuses.
Each message displays the name of the message creator and is stamped with the date it was created. Messages in the QuickView are sorted in reverse chronological order according to the message creation date.
When working with a message in the Message sections of the Core Application, one of three categories (“Messages”, “Appointments”, and “Tasks”) can be assigned to that message via the Make This drop-down menu. When viewing a message in the Recruiter Module, the message's category is displayed in the message header, alongside the activity type, when viewed in the Recruiter Module.
Messages created in the Core Application can be linked to other records in the system, but this functionality is limited in the Recruiter Module. New messages logged in the Recruiter Module are created with the following record links:
Section Name |
Default Record Link(s) in New Message |
Talent Card |
Employee Record |
Order Card |
Order Record, Customer Record |
Candidate Card |
Order Record, Employee Record |
Company Card |
Customer Record |
Contact Card |
Contact Record |
General Activities/Messages Points

- Messages logged in the Core Application can be viewed and edited in the Recruiter Module in the Messages QuickView for the corresponding section.
- “Message”, “Appointment”, and “Task” message types created in the Core Application can be viewed in the Messages QuickView. Messages created in the Recruiter Module are limited to the “Message” message type.

- Records linked to a message are presented in the Messages QuickView as hyperlinks that open the linked record in a new browser tab when clicked.
- Status changes performed in Recruiter Module are no longer displayed in the Messages QuickView and are now viewable in the Core Application under the Log report for each entity.
- Activity Content is no longer available for users of 17.1.

Application Workflows
Application workflows define what an applicant sees when applying for a job. Avionté has created twelve standard work sections that can be used in combination to create customized, repeatable workflows. The sections (WOTC, EEO, etc.) are combined to create workflows with your custom titles (Temp Warehouse Applicant workflow, FT Office Clerical workflow, etc.) depending on what your applicants need to see depending on their role. Some sections are longer, some are one page. Some sections are required (Welcome, Submit) while most are optional.
In the image below, the workflow the user has created for temporary warehouse position applicants is comprised of a set of Welcome screens, a Personal info: Resume workflow, Competencies, EEO, and a Submit screen. An applicant will be prompted to provide information in each of these areas when they apply for a position.

Workflow Sections
As mentioned above, workflows are comprised of sections. Each section can be added or removed from a workflow. With a few exceptions, sections are optional when creating a workflow.
Welcome Section (required)
The Welcome workflow screen collects general information about an applicant. This workflow section is only one screen and is required for all application workflows. Because it is required for all workflows, the option to remove this workflow section has been disabled.
When a new application workflow is created, the Welcome (required) workflow section properties will display on the right side of the screen. Mobile users will need to click on the Welcome (required) workflow section in order for these options to appear. Admin users can specify specific branches to display in a drop-down menu for applicants to select as a branch they consider themselves to be associated with.
Welcome: Prescreen Section
This section asks preliminary questions of an applicant that dictate whether or not the applicant qualifies to continue the application process.
Welcome: Account Create Section
The Account Create workflow section requires an applicant to create an account in the Talent Module that can be used to easily apply for jobs in the future.
There is no Admin configuration necessary on this item. The Admin can only elect to have this item appear in an application workflow. If the Welcome: Account Create section is added to the workflow, the applicant is required to create an account.
Applicants can also create an account through the Create Account link in the upper corner if the Account create workflow section is not included in the workflow. Clicking the link will open a pop-up dialog for the applicant to create an account. The link will only be available if the workflow section is not included.
Adding the Welcome: Account Create workflow section to the application workflow is the only way to require the applicant to create an account.
Personal Info Section
The Admin user can choose to include the Personal info screen in an application workflow. The Personal info screen collects information about an applicant such as their address and phone number. If the Personal info workflow section is selected for the application workflow, it will be the first tab to appear.
All of these fields will populate data into the Recruiter Module > Talent > Profile area and into the core application Employee > Address and Contact Method areas. The address that the applicant enters on the Personal info screen will be marked as the primary address in the core application.
Personal Info: Resume Section
The Personal Info: Resume workflow section requires applicants to upload a resume. Although the resume section appears on the Personal Info page in the application workflow, it has its own configurable workflow section. When this workflow section is added and enabled, the resume section will appear on the Personal Info page.
All of the parsed data from the resume will appear in the Recruiter module and the Avionté core app.
Applicants can only upload one resume at a time. The applicant can remove the document from the Personal information page, but it will remain attached to the Employee Record. When an applicant uploads and parses a new resume, the data from the new resume will overwrite the old data.
Education Section
The Education workflow section requires an applicant to enter information regarding their educational experience.
There is no Admin configuration necessary on this item. The Admin can only elect to have this item appear in an applicant workflow. Consequently, the section to the right of the application workflow which usually contains further configuration options, will appear blank.
If an applicant enters a graduation date for an education line item, this is equivalent to checking the Graduated checkbox under Employee > Education in the core app. If a date is entered into this field then Graduated is set to True. If no date has been entered, then Graduated is set to False.
The Degree/Options that the applicant can select from are defined in the Avionté core app per branch. For additional information on Config Choice, see the Admin Tools: Config Choice article.
Experience Section
There are no additional items that need to be configured for this workflow section. Because there are no additional items that need to be configured, the section to the right of the application workflow, normally reserved for further configuration options, will be blank.
The Current Job checkbox in the applicant facing workflow is not visible or searchable in the Avionté core application.
Questionnaire Section
The Questionnaire section of the Application Workflow allows the Admin user to add up to 20 questions to an Application Workflow and define the answers.
The questions that appear in the question drop-down menu are taken from the questions that have been configured in Admin Tools > Config Choice > EmployeeInterview and set as visible for at least one branch. Questions can be added, edited or deleted in this section of the core application.
Note: As questions are selected by the Admin for the Questionnaire and/or the Welcome: Prescreen workflow sections, they are removed from the drop-down list of available questions. This prevents accidental use of duplicate questions in the Application Workflow.
Competencies Section
This section is used to collect competencies and skills from the applicant. the Aero platform has a pre-set collection of competencies from which the applicant can choose.
WOTC Section
The WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) workflow section contains the integration with ADP to check employee eligibility for tax credits. Typically pronounced "wot-see", WOTC incentives are provided to companies hiring individuals from certain target groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment.
When an applicant reaches this step in the application workflow, the applicant will be prompted to provide information that is needed to fill out the 88509 Tax credit form. Once the applicant has entered this information, the integration with ADP will automatically determine if the employee is eligible for federal tax credits and update the employee's record in Avionté.
EEO Section
The EEO section (which is optional for the applicant), collects data associated to equal employment opportunity work practices.
Submit Section (required)
The Submit screen is the last page of an application workflow that verifies that the applicant has entered valid information and confirms the application submission. This workflow section is required for all application workflows. Because it is required for all workflows, the option to remove this workflow section has been disabled.
Admin users have the ability to create and format an acknowledgment statement for this workflow section. A default acknowledgement statement will pre-populate for every new workflow. If a custom acknowledgement is not added, then this default text will be used. To update the acknowledgement text, see the steps below.
