Let's focus on Custom Fields in this release

The way you work is unique, so is also the way you work with CheckHub unique. That's why we provide you custom fields for you to tailor-made the way you want to use our solution.

List Support

You can create and manage custom field of "List" type with the options that you want to use in your Candidate profiles. If you work with multiple languages, custom field "Type" also support translation.

List Support in Form

Beside regular custom field, you can also use dropdown list in Form creation for easy data collection

Query List

If you need to use very large set of options (ex. more than 100) in your list, we support a "Query" custom field type. This field work as a "search" field. Just type the first letters, and result will be triggered from the database. If you already have existing lists exposed as API that you want to use, we can also integrate them as list of option. 

Organize fields by category

When you needs a large set of custom fields, it's sometimes convenient to group them by category or purpose. You now have this option to show/hide them in a default view

It’s all about performance

Within our May update it is all about performance. Though a new release of functionalities is always a cool thing to present, today we are going to talk about User Experience and how a better performance can impact this.

Filtering, sending requests, querying, all basic tasks you perform as a user, have a huge impact on performance and your user experience. As a user you want to smoothly navigate yourself through the areas and do the thing you came to do. Without any hassle, delay or whatsoever.

Handling a large set of documents with all of them having unique properties, candidates etc. can be quite an intensive task. For us as the facilitator, but also for you as a user. A great example is a spreadsheet application like Excel. You can have the best specifications for your machine, but a large dataset will still put a lot of pressure on your machine and user experience. Filtering, searching, it will all go less smooth.

First things first: Moving to the right database

So, for the last few months, we critically looked at our platform and highlighted where the performance (and thus your experience) could be hugely improved. Our main opportunity of improvement was our database model. A new model can even better guarantee the performance and security that matches our standard and our customers expectations. And so we did. After a very promising set of tests, we started the database migration process.

Reaching destination at speed of light

With this in mind we worked months on migrating our platform, your data, to this new database with tremendous results. Navigating through CheckHub was already smooth, but now it definitely feels like you are taking a new car for a spin; no hassles, all smooth and a great experience. It also offers more possibilities you’ll soon discover in future release notes.

You will definitely notice the gain within the following areas:

• Candidate FileBox
• Admin Interface
• Exports & Archives (XLS, ZIP, ...)
• API

We are therefore extremely happy and proud to facilitate this release (and also kudos to the tech team who did an amazing job on this challenge).

We also love to hear what your experience is. Feel free to let us know through the contact form or send me a personal email at laurent [@] checkhub.io.
