Onboarding: Automated Template & Step Synchronization
We’ve introduced a Sync feature to keep your onboarding step updates consistent across templates and active employee journeys, eliminating manual rework.
What’s new:
Library-Level Sync: Editing a step in the Step Templates library now allows you to propagate those changes directly to all connected Process Templates and unstarted Active Processes.
Process Template Overrides: When editing a step within a specific Process Template, you can choose to keep the change local or sync it back to the library and other active processes.
Smart Eligibility Safeguards: Syncing strictly targets pending steps (not yet sent or started) to ensure completed tasks and ongoing work are never overwritten.
Full Transparency & Preview: A new "Apply changes" confirmation dialog breaks down exact changes and provides an expandable list of every affected template and boardee before you confirm.
Comprehensive Field Syncing: Propagates changes across step names, content, attachments, multi-language versions, recipients, assignees, deadlines, and reminder settings.
Survey: Smarter Hierarchy-Based Report Sharing
We’ve expanded report sharing capabilities in Survey to ensure managers get the insights they need while strictly preserving respondent anonymity.
What’s new:
Flexible Manager Eligibility: You can now share a report with a manager even if they do not meet the minimum response threshold through their direct reports alone—provided their total hierarchy of respondents meets the requirement.
Hierarchical Anonymity Safeguards: Sharing rules remain fully anonymous. Managers will only ever see aggregated responses that are permitted based on their exact position in the reporting hierarchy.
Direct vs. Hierarchy Toggle: A new Direct / Hierarchy down switcher has been added alongside the filter controls, allowing users to easily toggle between viewing direct team data or the expanded hierarchical scope.
Alignment & OKRs: Site Walling by Employer
For companies running multiple legal entities within a single site, you can now segregate Alignment and OKR data by employer—allowing each entity to maintain its own vision, strategies, and objectives. (Note: This feature is enabled site-wide by the Heartpace team; un-walled sites remain unaffected.)
What’s new:
Employer Selector & Custom Views: Users assigned to multiple legal entities can toggle between employers within the Alignment module using a new selector. The system remembers your choice upon return, while single-employer users automatically see their default view.
Role-Based Employer Management: A new access control permission allows designated "Alignment Managers" full administrative rights (create, edit, delete across all levels, including vision) strictly for their assigned employer(s).
Cross-Employer Manager Visibility: Managers leading team members across different legal entities can now seamlessly track objectives assigned to direct reports in other employers.
Smart Department & Strategy Visibility: Departmental objectives and strategies from other employers are only displayed to managers if a direct report’s objective links directly to them—keeping unrelated departments hidden.
Strict Employer Data Ownership: Every vision, strategy, objective, activity, and key result is explicitly assigned to a single employer.
Focused OKR Access: Employees see public objectives belonging to their own employer, while managers gain additional visibility into all objectives assigned along their reporting lines under the respective employer.
Equal Pay: Global Search in Filter Panel
We’ve improved filtering in the Equal Pay module to help you find categories and values faster.
What’s new:
Global Filter Search: A unified search bar has been added to the top of the right-hand filter panel, allowing you to search across all filter categories and values simultaneously.
Smart Results Display: To keep results clean and easy to navigate, search queries display up to 5 matching values per category whenever a pattern returns broader results.
