Summary
⠀
Search by keyword
To allow you to perform increasingly advanced searches on the Candidates, Resources, and CRM modules, we are evolving the search functionality.
From now on, you can use the words "AND", "OR", "NOT" as well as parentheses to perform increasingly refined searches.
Here is the list of available operators:
+{expression}: expression must be present in the result
-{expression}: the expression must not be present in the result (equivalent to NOT {expression})
{expression1} OR {expression2}: the result must contain expression1 OR expression2 (equivalent to {expression1} {expression2})
{expression1} AND {expression2}: the result must contain expression1 AND expression2 (equivalent to +{expression1} +{expression2})
{expression1} AND NOT {expression2}: the result must contain expression1 BUT NOT expression2 (equivalent to +{expression1} -{expression2})
What is an {expression}?
An expression can be a word, a phrase between \" \" (exact expression), or a set with ( )
Quotation marks (e.g.: \"project manager\") allow you to search for an exact expression.
A word (e.g.: \"Developer\") allows you to search for lots of words with the same semantics.
A set of words without quotation marks (e.g.: project manager) will be interpreted as several words separated by an OR operator.
Parentheses allow you to search for combinations (e.g.: Developer AND (Angular OR \"Ember.js\") AND NOT \"Junior\").
Sorting by relevance
Unless you sort by one of the proposed columns, the sorting of your results (when searching by keywords) will always be based on the relevance calculated with your search criteria.
Operators must be written in UPPERCASE
AND or && or +
OR or ||
NOT (with space) or !(without space) or -word1

Zapier
Zapier is an application designed to help you connect your different tools together so you can automatically perform certain actions from one tool to another according to your needs.
We are pleased to now have an application available in Beta test on their platform. With it, you can automate the creation/modification/deletion of BoondManager data based on events happening in your other applications (e.g.: automate the creation of a candidate record each time a Typeform/GForm questionnaire is submitted)
I invite you to read the tutorial written on this subject: Connect and automate your different tools thanks to Zapier

Improvement of extractions
We are taking advantage of this new migration to enrich all our extractions.
It will be possible to extract all "non-sensitive" data for a person with extraction rights.
⠀
Database migration
We have migrated our entire database to InnoDB, a new storage engine.
Point of attention:
If you use our BackupBDD App to perform regular SQL dumps of your database. The storage engine of our database is changing to InnoDB and our collation is changing to utf8mb4. If your developments require it, we invite you to take this evolution into account so that your next dump can be properly used by your tools. The following link can help you:
