A walk through was required to introduce users to key features of the application.

Framework for Visual Guided Tours have been developed for users to walk through the key features of the application.

Benefit: Better user/employee engagement.

    

Comp Off made configurable

Development was done based on Comp Off date and lapsed Comp Offs as per requirement and employees could not choose Comp Off date.

Following Comp Off related details have been made configurable:

• Comp Off has been made configurable with employee able to enter comp off date which goes for L1 approval.
• Lapsed Comp Offs have also been made configurable with employee able to view how many days will be lapsed in next 7 days and how many days have already lapsed.

Benefit: Increases scalability of the application.

 

Different names were reflecting for the same employee in Employee List and FBP Reopen.

RCA: The value of last name was not being reset in the loop, so for employees having last name value as null, the last updated value of last name was being picked, for which extra condition has been added to avoid the same.

If an exit task was pending with multiple SPOCs and was re-assigned to a SPOC, all the tasks pending with multiple SPOCs were getting re-assigned to new user/SPOC.

RCA: Whole list of pending tasks was getting updated based on userid, for which code has been modified so that for task reassignment "workflowhistoryid" is used instead of userid.

Unable to declare NPS amount. Also, the NPS declaration window was not opening in one attempt. User needed to click on some other tab and re-click on NPS link to open it.

RCA: Due to JSF bug pop up did not get refreshed in first go. Due to query bug, data in comp. break up was not being picked up in spite of being there in database.

Print button was not printing the correct value in tax declaration.

RCA: JSF defaults to GMT (UTC) in date/time conversion, due to this date was considering a date previous to current date. Issue has been fixed now by adding IST timezone.

User was unable to click BRE claim as on click of print button it resulted in logout.

RCA: Unable to print due to JSF code bug in print page due to wrong name of field, cost center.

Only one project was reflecting under assigned projects for Timesheet for all employees.

RCA:

Some of the employees of PeopleStrong and one of the clients were not able to login even with hash password and reset the password.

RCA: Issue arose due to missing null check in the case of recruiter portal being assigned to a user.

On clicking Submit button, notification pops up 'Total CTC is not equal to sum of flexible components' and employee is not able to submit FBP and in some cases when employee clicks on Submit button, page gets hanged.

RCA: Due to missing null check, the special allowance was not being adjusted properly and this led to validation error on submit.

One of the client's employees were unable to reset password.

RCA: Even though mobile number is not required for resetting password through web, it was being checked and null value was encountered.

SSO login was not working.

RCA:

Exit letter was not getting generated when generating using Exit Admin role.

RCA: Due to a wrong check the letter was not getting generated as the check was placed on AttachmentFilePath instead of LetterFilePath.

HTML tags were not created correctly while configuring letters from front end.

RCA: Unnecessary div tags were getting inserted from code which have been reverted and if situation arises, div tag can also be added from template.

Unable to make changes to Car Hire page.

RCA:

When employees clicked on forgot password, it did not work and neither the link to reset password is recieved.

RCA: In case of rehired employees, enabled = 1 check was missing, therefore instead of one user multiple users were being considered.

At post joining stage, when user clicked on Ecode generation checklist to get the auto-generated code, system picked the Employee Code in increasing order irrespective of checklist submission.

For e.g.:- The last ecode saved in AltEmployeeCodeGenerationPolicy was 81258. When user on-boarded the next employee, it picked up 81259 which is correct. User did not submit the checklist and clicked on cancel. However, when user again clicked on checklist, it picked up 81260 for the same employee.

RCA: Admin API always gives new Employee Code when user clicks on generate employee code icon. Solution is to click employee code generate icon, so that the employee code is generated and saved against the employee with checklist completion instead of manually entering employee code as then user has to click on submit button to complete the checklist.
