September 2025

What is the improvement?

The Talent Search Field Chooser now displays column options in alphabetical order, making it easier and faster to locate specific search result columns. Previously, column options appeared in a non-alphabetized format that required users to scan through the entire list to find their desired columns.

This improvement applies specifically to the Talent Search module and does not affect your saved column order preferences or search result display. Similar alphabetization improvements for other BOLD search modules will be addressed in future releases.

Why?

Users frequently customize their Talent Search results by selecting specific columns through the Field Chooser. With dozens of available column options, finding the right column could be time-consuming without alphabetical organization.

Alphabetizing these options creates a more intuitive user experience, reducing the time spent searching for columns and improving overall search efficiency for recruiters and HCM users.

How does this impact you?

For All Users:
No action required! The next time you use the Field Chooser in Talent Search, you'll automatically see column options arranged alphabetically from A to Z.

What You'll Notice:

• Field Chooser column options now appear in alphabetical order
• Faster location of specific columns when customizing search results
• More intuitive column selection experience
• Your existing column preferences and search result layouts remain unchanged

What is the improvement?

The Hours History feature has been integrated directly into BOLD Front Office, allowing users to view Talent and Company Hours History without switching to Back Office.

Pay and Work Hours History is a new centralized data access feature that consolidates all talent pay and work hours information into a single, unified platform. This enhancement replaces the previous Paychecks tab and provides comprehensive historical data regardless of how hours are entered—manually, through imports, or via automated systems.

Why?

• Previously, users had to navigate between Front Office and Back Office to view Talent and Company Hours History, creating workflow interruptions and administrative overhead. Now, hours history is accessible directly within the Front Office interface, providing a unified platform experience.

How does this impact you?

• Hours History viewable on the Talent Profile
• Hours History viewable on the Company Profile
• User Permission controls to manage information access

This centralization eliminates data silos, removes the need for system switching, and provides the comprehensive, real-time talent insights needed to operate more efficiently and make better-informed decisions all within the Front Office platform.

How does this impact you?

• Multi-State Selection: Dropdown supports selecting multiple states for broader geographic coverage
