What’s New in emPerform ?

See what’s new for you in version 5.3SP2 & 5.3SP3!

Refreshed Interface

We’ve updated emPerform’s interface for a sleeker and better user experience.

Important Fixes

We’ve made some great fixes that your users will love.

Changes to Browser Support

We’ve made updates to which browsers are supported.

Say Goodbye to the ‘url open’ Prompt

We’ve removed the ‘URL already open’ prompt for end-users and Administrators (when proxying in as user).  Your users will not get this warning even if the same person logs into emPerform in more than one browser tab. However, this action is not encouraged because if data is entered in multiple tabs, some data may not be saved and will be lost. When opening a new session in a separate tab, the old session in the original tab will expire. this helps prevent data loss. Administrators are still limited to one active session, but will not get the error when they proxy-in as a user.

Refreshed Homepage, Menu & Tables

We’ve kept the best of emPerform, but made some small tweaks that your users will love. A refreshed home screen features more spacing, a collapsed menu, new ‘home’ icon, and ‘more’ option on main menu to allow users to access other pages/modules, without taking up space on the menu bar.

Tables have also been refreshed. Borders and lines have been removed, and spacing has been added to help your users easily browse tables and lists.

NEW Tag Popup!

To help your users make quick notes and send more feedback using tag, we have added a floating tag pop-up at the bottom of most pages in emPerform. When a user clicks on the icon, they are given a pop-up write window for making journal notes or sending feedback (depending on how you have configured tag). The tag floating popup is NOT shown inside any succession manager or compensation manager module pages.

Review Updates

The new user interface brings a modernized look and feel for icons and buttons in review forms. As you can see below. Within review forms and On-Demand forms, the employee’s profile now shows on the left of the screen, instead of the right. The submit button has also been incorporated into the title bar to conserve space.

Library pop-ups have also been refreshed with thinner section dividers to help your users quickly expand and collapse sections and navigate content.
