What's New in Version 7.0

Major Upgrade
 Version 7.0 is the first major upgrade for the WorkSource Washington web site since the release of Version 6 in the spring of 2000. The goals of the project are to:

  1. Increase customer satisfaction by improving usability and responding to customer requests;
  2. Improve the web site’s competitive position by meeting or exceeding the industry standard recruitment web site feature set, and
  3. Increase efficiency and accountability for staff-mediated Pending List transactions and Central Office administrative functions. Since the project is supported with special set-aside funding for infrastructure development, there will be no reduction in resources normally dedicated to field staffing

Change Control
The May 1, 2006 meeting is the last for the Go2Change Control Committee. The Go2WorkSource.com CCC will now merge with other change control boards related to WorkSource systems (i.e. SKIES, TAA, EJAS/CATS) to become one system change control committee.

Logon to Referral Queue

Go2WorkSource.com News

Thanks to all of you for reporting problems in the new Version 7 web site and Referral Queues. Our developers have been working very hard to fix as many of these problems as possible. Here is a list of everything that has been FIXED so far.
    Teri Butler/Sherry Kerrihard

During July, the following incidents in Go2WorkSource were found and repaired:
  • Employer using the copy an open job process to create a second job was removing the work locations from the original job.  This did not remove the original job from Search Results, but it did make the job impossible to find.  This was fixed quickly once identified.
  • WorkSource Job Orders, though closed in WorkSource, were not updating to closed status in SKIES.  A bug was found in how WorkSource sends the status change to SKIES for some WorkSource jobs.  This is now working properly in Production.
  • Seeker Post Resume and Employer Post Job forms, for incomplete or incorrect field entries, were showing error messages at the top of the screen and not near the field where the error occurred.  Users were getting lost in the form and becoming frustrated.  The forms have been fixed.
  • Limited use of HTML tags is available in Seeker Copy/Paste Resume and Employer Post Job forms but were not working properly either.  The errors have been found, fixed, and will be in Production by August 1.
  • Employers reported the Post Job form confusing when they were posting consecutive jobs.  At the confirmation screen an employer may simply select Post Another Job.  This brought up the correct form but it included the job details from the previous job.  Employers said no to this.  The form has been changed to display only the default settings.   
  • A few isolated instances were reported of seekers unable to perform routine processes after updating their resume.  The update process needed some fine tuning and this has been done.
  • For SKIES job orders, the Referrals Made counts between WorkSource and SKIES had some inconsistencies.  These have been found and tested.   The process to repair will include a data sync which will run in test next week.  Production fixes should follow soon after.
  • Finally, Resume Scouts are returning only resumes not shown in a previous Scout.  This was a huge improvement to Resume Scouts which could sometimes bring back 50 or more resumes again and again, each time the Scout was run.  Formatting of the Scout Results form was also improved.
