2H – 2022 Release Schedule
- Preview Release – October 28 , 2022
- Production Release – December 9 , 2022
1. Updates to the People Section in Company Structure Overview Side Panel
We’ve made two updates to the People section in the side panel in the Company Structure Overview (CSO).
- Only up to 1000 employees are displayed in the People section of the side panel at a time. You can use the search bar to search among employees, including those that aren’t currently displayed.
- The system doesn’t consider an employee’s permission to User Permissions Employee Central Effective Dated Entities View History and View Current of an entity when it calculates the value of Full-Time Equivalents for an entity in the CSO.
We’ve made these enhancements to make system behavior more consistent and to improve system performance.
Now, up to a number of 1000 employees are shown in the People side panel at a time. You can use the search bar to search among all employees, including those that aren’t currently displayed. The system doesn’t consider the permissions to “View History” and “View Current” when it calculates the FTE value for an entity in the CSO.
How It Looked Before
In the previous version, there wasn’t a limit on the number of employees shown in the People side panel. The system calculated the FTE value based on a user’s permission for the respective entity. This could lead to performance issues.

5. Role-Based Permission for Emergency Contacts Import Entity
Role-based permission is now supported for Emergency Contacts import entity under Employee Central Import Entities.
When this permission is enabled, the data for Emergency Contacts is imported along with its corresponding address information. By default, the Emergency Contacts permission is displayed only on Employee Central enabled instances.
We’ve added the Emergency Contacts permission to Employee Central Import Entities, as this permission provides flexibility for users to set permissions at an entity level.
In this release, the Emergency Contacts entity has been added to the Employee Central Import Entities permission category.
In the previous version, the Employee Central Import Entities permission category didn’t support Emergency Contacts permission.
