Release Notes October 2026

Here is a structured, executive-ready release note for your new HRM Custom Groups feature:
HRM: Custom Field Groups
Admins can now create custom, employment-bound field groups in Global Settings → Features → HRM alongside standard system groups (like Compensation, Pension, or Benefits). This enables your organization to capture specialized employment data—such as training records, company car details, or NDA tracking—tailored to your operational needs.
What’s new:
Flexible Group Creation: Build custom groups directly from the HRM fields matrix with translated labels and a unique technical ID. New groups appear under the employment section.
Date-Based or Flat Structure: Choose between flat data structures or date-bounded entries (requiring a start date within the employment period) upon creation.
Full Custom Field Controls: Populate groups with custom fields using standard administrative controls—including per-employer toggles, bulk actions, required/sensitive flags, and field reordering.
Employee Profile Integration: Custom groups automatically display as dedicated sub-tabs under the Job tab on employee profiles, complete with individual change logs.
Platform-Wide Ecosystem Support: Full integration across HRM Reports, standard Excel employee imports, API/webhooks, Events API, integration mappings, and candidate onboarding workflows (carrying values over upon hiring conversion).
Safe Group Deletion: Protect operational data with built-in safeguards that prevent deleting any group currently containing active employee records.
Current Scope & Limitations: Custom groups currently support single-record entries (multi-record/historical groups coming later). Integrations allow field mapping but do not process inbound/outbound syncs yet. People Analytics and specialized additions imports (Compensation, Benefits, ICE) are currently excluded.
