The goal of the Customer Voting Portal is to balance new product development in line with customer requests while contributing to the long-term product roadmap. Each module has its own voting portal, directly accessible from the Admin pages in Pulse, and enhancement requests are transparent meaning it allows you to see the suggestions from other Pulse customers. If there is an enhancement you believe would be beneficial to other customers – speak with your network! We encourage you to use the portal as a platform to help communicate your needs as a user group. This will ensure Pulse delivers strategic and customer driven enhancements along with features to help align strategies, people, and organisational performance.

1. Delegations & Policies Register

1.1 Ability to configure a Policy Acknowledgement Statement

DPR administrators can now configure a Policy Acknowledgement Statement using a rich text editor. This allows administrators to create custom text with tailored formatting, embed hyperlinks, and include images. This enhancement streamlines policy communication while enabling efficient tracking of user acknowledgments.

To enable and use this feature:

Step 1: Log in to Pulse as a DPR Admin user and navigate to the DPR Module.

Step 2: Navigate to Admin > System > General Settings > Policies.

A new configuration section, ‘Policy Acknowledgement Statement,’ is now available just below the ‘Policy Flags’ section

Step 3: Add the required text, links, images, and other elements to the statement area.

Use the arrow keys to navigate and scroll through the content of the statement.

Use the toolbar to format and customise your statement as needed.

Step 4: Click ‘Save.’

Step 5: Log in to DPR as a normal user assigned to a policy requiring acknowledgment.

Step 6: Navigate to the Policies menu > My Policies.

Assigned policies are listed with a light blue ‘Acknowledge’ button, enabling you to acknowledge them.

Step 7: Click ‘Acknowledge.’

The configured statement will now appear in the Policy Acknowledge pop-up.

Step 8: Select the checkbox labeled ‘By checking this box, you are agreeing that you have read and understood the above Policy Acknowledgement.’ and then click ‘Confirm Acknowledgement.’

1.2 Improved Delegation Importer: Checkbox to Control Position Changes in Legal Firm Import

A new ‘Do not add, update, or delete positions against the delegations’ checkbox has been added to the Legal Firm Import option in the Delegation Importer.

• The checkbox is checked by default to prevent unintended position changes during imports.
• When checked, the ‘Position No’ column in the Excel template is ignored, ensuring no positions are added, updated, or removed.
• When unchecked, the Delegation Importer follows existing functionality.

This feature is available to Delegations and Policy Administrators and can be accessed via: Admin > Delegations > Import Data > Import Delegations > Legal Firm Import

The screenshot below highlights the new checkbox:

Filter Options for 'Number of Positions'

Administrators can also filter employees based on the number of active positions using the More Filters option:
