Now, users on the platform will not be logged out until they click the **Logout button.** 3. **Analytics Coverage:** Expanded Mixpanel tracking to cover core actions such as **invite, reply, and forward**. 4. **Candidate Experience:** Fixed display issues for **long-form candidate responses**. 5. **Intelligent Scheduling:** Addressed multiple issues impacting scheduling reliability: * Email delivery inconsistencies * Availability addition * ICS file RSVP actions 6. **Notification Inbox:** Corrected **status update issues** (from other statuses to “Read”) to improve real-time visibility. ## Candidate Experience Updates * **Phone Number Field with Country Code in Forms:** To improve data accuracy and global communication, a new phone number field with a country code selector has been added to data collection forms. This solves the issue of inconsistent or invalid contact information. * **UX Improvement on Mobile Device for Slot Booking:** When a candidate is initiating a booking on mobile device, we have introduced an auto scroll on the screen on slot booking page. As and when the candidate selects a date, they will be auto scrolled and displayed the available slot timings for the corresponding date. ### Payment Enhancements 1. **Meeting Status set to “Scheduled” earlier in the booking flow** * The meeting status will now be set to **Scheduled** in the database as soon as a candidate selects a slot and proceeds to payment. * Previously, the status was updated only after payment was successfully completed, which sometimes caused issues when candidates dropped off after confirming payment but before final processing. *This change ensures that:* * Slots are reserved immediately, preventing double-booking. * Candidates who drop off during payment can resume their booking without losing their slot. 2. **New “Initiated” status for transactions** * We have introduced a new transaction status: **Initiated**. * Previously, transactions were directly marked as **Pending** once candidates proceeded to pay. *Now:* * **Initiated** indicates that the candidate has started the payment process but has not yet attempted the transaction. * From this state, the transaction can move to **Pending**, **Success**, or **Failed**, based on responses from the payment provider. * For example, a transaction may remain in **Pending** if a candidate has attempted payment but it is still being processed by the provider. ### **Who are the primary users of this feature?** > The features mentioned above will provide the greatest benefit to the **recruiters, evaluators** and the **candidates.** ### **What are we working on next?** **Workflow Tools** 1. Stack ranking on Ivy assessment with score display in the list view 2. Drive management module rollout 3. CodeSolo integration 4. Registration workflow 5. Resume scoring **Candidate Experience** 1. Post assessment and interview forms 2. Payment enhancements to send reminders and allow invoicing for companies. ## Interview Rooms Updates * **Splash screen for introducing 360 Environment Scan** A guided splash screen introducing 360 environment scan in live interviewing, helping users quickly understand its benefits and usage * **Benefits**: 1. Instant Familiarization 2. Smooth Onboarding 3. Improved Efficiency 4. Seamless User Experience ## Assessment Engine Updates **Assessment Playlist Configuration:** * You can now **seamlessly control question randomization, skip, and review flows** for test takers while setting up assessments directly in the **Assessment Engine**. * Previously, this control was available only through a **GB Flag**, but it has now been moved to **Assessment-level configuration**, giving users greater flexibility to decide **how questions are presented to test takers**. ## What's Next? * **Ivy Persona Builder**: We are developing a feature that will allow content managers to efficiently manage Ivy from Assessment Engine Itself. Expected in Q4 2025, this feature will further streamline workflows. * **Migration of CodeSolo Score Computation and Reports**: We are transitioning CodeSolo’s score computation and reporting functionalities from the legacy system to the Assessment Engine. This migration, targeted for Oct 2025, will improve performance, reporting accuracy, and system consistency. ## Secure Browser Updates 1. **In Production:** Windows store: 2.0.12 | Mac: 2.0.10 2. **Confirmation modal on exit:** When a user attempts to close **the Secure Browser**, a confirmation modal now appears. This prevents accidental closure and avoids unnecessary disruption to the exam flow. 3. **Mac feature updates (parity with Windows)** * **Clipboard clearing**:` Copy-paste` actions from/to Secure Browser are blocked. * **Restricted software alerts**: A persistent message is shown until the conflicting application is closed. 4. **Detection of screen lock & user switch (Windows):** Secure Browser now detects when a *user switches accounts or locks the screen during an exam*. Such actions are logged, and the browser must be closed and relaunched to continue. 5. **Updated blocklist applications:** We’ve refreshed the blocklist of restricted applications. ## Integrations \[V7+] Updates * **Confirmation modal pops up when “Stop Proctoring” is clicked:** When a candidate clicks **Stop Proctoring** during an LMS quiz, a confirmation modal appears warning them of the consequences. Confirming this action ends the proctoring session and marks the quiz attempt as submitted.
