Once you submit your review, all the drafts saved, irrespective of who created it, are deleted. For **example**, the drafts saved by the Hiring Manager are restricted to the Hiring Manager who creates it. Similarly, drafts saved by the New Hire are restricted to the New Hire who creates it. The Hiring Manager can’t view the drafts saved by the New Hire and vice versa. If the Hiring Manager submits the data after review, then all the drafts saved by other users are deleted.

We’ve made this enhancement to ensure that only you can access or edit your [draft](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/successfactors-onboarding-h2-2022/). ### Technical Details | Reference Number | OBX-24299 | | Product | Onboarding | | Module | Onboarding | | Feature | Onboarding | | Action | Info only | | Enablement | Automatically on | | Lifecycle | General Availability | | Type | Changed | | Major or Minor | Minor | | Software Version | 1H 2023 | | Valid as Of | 2023-06-02 | ## 3. Configurable Due Date for New Hire Task Completion You can now configure the **Due Date** for new hire task completion to a date before the new hire’s start date. Using this configuration, you can define a custom due date which can be applied to all new hire tasks. These tasks include **Personal Data Collection**, **Additional Data Collection**, **New Hire Data Review**, **Document Flows**, and **Onboarding Rehire Verification**. The **Onboarding Dashboard (New)** displays the corresponding task due date for various new hire tasks based on the configured value. **Note** * The task due date configuration is a global setting. Once configured, the changes apply to your entire organization. * You can configure the due date only for new hire tasks. The configuration isn’t applicable for internal hiring, Offboarding, Compliance, or hiring manager activities that include writing a welcome message, assigning a buddy, scheduling meetings, setting goals, and so on. ### Configuration Requirements If you want to modify the new hire’s task due date to a day before the new hire’s start date, you can configure the task due date using the **Number of Days Before Start Date by when Assigned Task must be Completed** option in the **Manage Data** page of the **Admin Center**. ### What’s Changed ![Displays the Number of Days Before Start Date by when Assigned Task must be Completed option in the Manage Data page in Admin Center.](data:image/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01% 00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00% 00%02%01D%00%3B "Displays the Number of Days Before Start Date by when Assigned Task must be Completed option in the Manage Data page in Admin Center.") **How It Looks Now** In the current version, the start date and due date are decoupled. You can now specify the number of days before the start date by when the assigned task must be completed by the new hire. ![Displays the Manage Data page where there is no option to set a separate due date.]( data:image/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00% 00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B "Displays the Manage Data page where there is no option to set a separate due date.") **How It Looked Before** Previously, all tasks were due on the **Start Date** of the new hire and weren’t configurable. ### Technical Details | Reference Number | OBX-16753 | | Product | Onboarding | | Module | Onboarding | | Feature | Onboarding | | Action | Required | | Enablement | Customer configured | | Lifecycle | General Availability | | Type | Changed | | Major or Minor | Minor | | Software Version | 1H 2023 | | Valid as Of | 2023-06-02 | ## 4. Configurable New Hire for Onboarding With the configurable new hire feature, you can create hire templates with the blocks needed for the type of employment you’re hiring for in Onboarding. You can also configure the templates with business rule scenarios. Configurable new hire in Onboarding enables you to create a **Hire Template** and create a business rule that helps you in selecting the right template. You can either use **Onboarding New Hire** or **Onboarding Manager** from the ** Template Type** drop-down list while creating the **Hire Template**. ![On the Hire Template page, you have the option to select the hire type from the Template Type drop-down field. There are two Onboarding hire types included in the drop down, one is Onboarding New Hire and the other is Onboarding Manager.](data: image/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00% 2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B "On the Hire Template page, you have the option to select the hire type from the Template Type drop-down field. There are two Onboarding hire types included in the drop down, one is Onboarding New Hire and the other is Onboarding Manager.") There are two new rules that you can use to configure the **Hire Template**. One is the **Set Hire Template for New Hire** rule and the other is the **Set Hire Template for Onboarding Participant or Responsible User** rule. You can assign the business rule to different scenarios in the **Onboarding Configuration** page. There are three new fields added: * **Rule for New Hire Data Review Template** * **Rule for Personal Data Collection Template** * **Rule for Access New Hire Data Template** Once, the **Hire Template** is configured, based on the rule, the right template is selected in the Onboarding hiring activities like **New Hire Data Review**, ** Personal Data Collection**, and **Access New Hire Data**. While creating the **Hire Template**, you can add, remove, and rearrange the order of the blocks as well as add standard and custom MDF objects to the configuration. ### Role-Based Permission Prerequisites * You have the **Administrator **  **Manage Business Configuration**  **Hire Template** permission. * You have the **Administrator **  **Onboarding or Offboarding Admin Object Permissions**** Onboarding Configurations** permission. ### What’s Changed How It Looks Now You can create the **Hire Template** based on your hiring requirement with custom MDF objects. You can then configure the **Hire Template** using business rules. For example, the template is configured with custom MDF objects such as the new hire’s gym membership and vehicle details. **Details of New Hire’s Gym Membership in Data Collection Page** ![Gym membership details with data fields such as, Is membership required? height, weight, and preferred time.](data:image/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00% FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B "Gym membership details with data fields such as, Is membership required? height, weight, and preferred time.") **New Hire’s Vehicle Details in Data Collection Page** ![Vehicle details with data fields such as, vehicle type, vehicle number, is company owned?

Custom Card on the Latest Home Page for the Complete New Hire Profile Task You can now create a custom card on the latest home page that enables new hires to complete their profile details.
