As part of release Y24.2, the legacy WX homepage has been removed.

Updated processes

The following WX processes have been updated with a fresh new look and improved functionality including in-page editing without having to open a separate edit dialog. These processes are designed to work with the new My Profile feature that provides easy access to a team member's personal information and processes. For information about setting up the Profile service, see Set up the My Profile page.

Additional processes will be updated in future releases.

Contact card

The behavior of the people search bar has been changed to include a new contact card. User contact details are no longer displayed as part of the search results drop-down. After searching for a user, select their name to open the user's contact card. The contact card includes any contact details included in the WX People Bar Contact Details field set.

Select the Go to profile or Open org chart buttons to open the user's profile, or their entry in the org chart.

Updated picklist behavior

This release introduces an update to the way picklists are displayed in redesigned WX processes. Previously, picklists were always displayed as drop-down menus. Now, picklists with up to 5 options are rendered as radio buttons. When there are more than 5 options available, the list is presented as a drop-down menu.

The example below shows 2 picklists, the first with less than 5 options, and the second with more than 5 options:

This behavior currently affects all redesigned WX processes, and will be rolled out to additional process as they are updated.

Updated look for success and error messages

This release updates success and error messages to use a new component with a new look and feel. Success and error messages are displayed at the top of a page.

Updated error message look:

Legacy homepage removal

The legacy homepage for WX has been deprecated as part of this release, and the Updated WX Homepage toggle has been removed. As part of this release, all customers will be moved to the updated homepage.

For information about setting up the new homepage, see Set up the WX homepage.

Limitations

The new look WX currently has the following limitations:

  • Navigating to the Compensation Planning and Performance Management processes causes a switch to the legacy navigation menu. Select the company logo in top left of the page, or select a different menu item to return to the new menu.

  • You can display up to 20 internal communications in the carousel component.
