# September 2024 Release Updates

> Stay updated with the latest features and enhancements rolled out in September 2024 across Talview’s Orchestration Platform (TOP) – including Workflow Tools, Candidate Experience, Interview Rooms, and Proview (Proctoring)

## Workflow Tools Updates

**Basic Pre-interview dashboard**

Interviewers often lack easy access to key candidate and job details, leading to inefficiencies. The new Pre-Interview Dashboard addresses this by providing interview, candidate and workflow fields, and job descriptions directly within Intelligent Scheduling emails, improving interview preparation and decision-making efficiency.

**Evaluator enhancements in WFT**

Recruiters can now assign evaluators to candidates directly through the platform, with evaluators receiving email notifications and viewing assigned candidates in list and detail views. This streamlines the evaluation process and improves engagement and efficiency.

**Pay and Book Workflow**

Candidates need a simplified and integrated process to pay for their exams and book exam slots, reducing manual coordination and delays in exam scheduling. The new Pay and Book Workflow allows candidates to seamlessly pay for their exams and book available exam slots in one unified experience.

**Async interviews with the Test taker experience**

Candidates face difficulties completing async interviews due to a lack of onboarding and technical setup, leading to delays and incomplete interviews. The new Async Interview workflow addresses this by providing guided onboarding with step-by-step browser permissions, hardware checks, the ability to hide video previews, configurable preparation time, and reattempt options. This improves completion rates, enhances the candidate experience, and reduces technical support queries.

2. **Proctor Buffer Time description**\
   Users creating an event lacked clear guidance on the meaning of the proctor buffer time and were unaware of the default start buffer time. To eliminate any confusion, a brief explanation about the default start buffer time has been added.
