Production Server Updation Date - 16 Feb 2024

1. Fields or records which are updated by employees in Profile page or during Onboarding process so far had only two options, "Optional" or "Mandatory". In this update we have added a third option "If Available". For example you can configure PAN as a "If Available" field, the way it would work is that if it is included during onboarding and if the employee declares that he does not have a PAN then he will not have to update it.
