Review Items - FY24

Release 17.1 - 8/23/2024

Completed the following updates to the Subject Matter Expert (SME) evaluation process:
- Added functionality for HR users to revert previously Accepted Subject Matter Expert (SME) evaluations and return them to the SME, provided the applicant has a Record Status Code of PA. Once returned, SME evaluators can change their original evaluation determination and justification notes.
- Revised the queuing logic to eliminate the generation of tiebreaker evaluations when the tiebreaker would not alter the applicant’s outcome. As a result, if there is consensus among two SME reviewers that an applicant fails to satisfy one or more evaluation criteria, a tiebreaker evaluation will not be created.
- When an SME Evaluation assessment is utilized, USA Staffing will automatically generate a Subject Matter Expert (SME) review once there is one eligible applicant for the SME Evaluation. Users have the option to modify the Review Name, Review Owner, Due Date, and Review Assignments before sending the review.

Completed the following updates on the Evaluations page:
- Added an SME Recusal warning banner to the Evaluations page, displaying information about applicants requiring additional SME evaluators due to an excessive number of recusals, preventing the completion of their evaluation.
- Updated the Evaluation Progress Tracker to remove applicants deemed ineligible due to Conditions of Employment, Eligibility criteria, or Human Resources intervention.
- Added the Evaluation Type to the Evaluations table, which can be either Standard or Tiebreaker.

Added a Recusals page to track SME recusals. Users may filter by Applicant, Evaluator, and applicants who need additional SME evaluators due to an excessive number of recusals, preventing the completion of their evaluation. Results include the evaluator, the recusal date and time, and the recusal reason for each applicant.

Release 16.7 - 4/26/2024

Added the USAJOBS Job title, Pay Plan-Series-Grade, and Announcement Type to the Reviews tab.

Release 16.5 - 3/1/2024
