beqomPay Suite 23.0 - Feature release notes
This article details the latest improvements introduced in version 23.0 of the beqomPay Suite application, their benefits for our end-users, and their principles of use.
Compensation Management
Data model extension alerts in Compensation Rounds
In this version of the application, compensation rounds dynamically respond to updates in the underlying data model, improving transparency and administrative control.
When the data model is extended, the system now triggers an automatic alert within the compensation round, providing visibility into what exactly has changed, including newly added fields and entities. The Last updates section in Workbench > Compensation Management > Compensation Rounds > Round Management logs these changes accordingly. Additionally, new fields automatically appear in the Team planner view configuration but are non-visible by default to ensure controlled exposure. Admins can enable or disable these fields in the Team planner view before making them available for use.

More details option
Added fields visible in model details
This enhancement eliminates silent data changes that impact compensation rounds. It allows admins to fully control new data introduced into planning. It also increases trust and traceability of data model updates.
Last updates section expanded with audit trail
We have significantly enhanced the Last updates section in Workbench > Compensation Management > Compensation Rounds > Round Management. The application now offers a comprehensive audit trail of compensation round activities.
The section tracks all major actions, such as publish events, draft creation and deletion, data model updates and extensions, bonus plan changes, and data loads impacting the round. The UI shows five most recent updates, with full history available via the View all updates button. When the user clicks the button, the All updates drawer appears, with pagination for large histories. Each entry specifies the user who performed the action and a timestamp.

Importantly, the new audit trail is fully compatible with existing compensation rounds that have already been created. Historical actions, including those prior to this release, are also visible. The system continues to log data updates even when the data model itself does not change.
These improvements bring a single point of reference for tracking compensation rounds. They strengthen governance and compliance while enabling easier troubleshooting. This, in turn, ensures greater transparency across stakeholders.
Visual guide for calculated columns
A built-in, contextual Calculation guide now helps users work with calculated columns more efficiently within the Calculation workspace.
Accessing the Calculation guide from the Calculation workspace
The step-by-step visual guide is automatically displayed on first use – it appears on the page when the user creates or opens a calculated column for the first time in the Team planner view. It provides inline guidance for auto-suggestions via Ctrl + Space, data navigation through dot notation, and understanding of properties, operators, and functions. Once dismissed, the guide stays hidden unless manually reopened, making it available on demand at any time.
Step 1 of the guide
The new feature reduces the learning curve for advanced calculations, improves accuracy and adoption of calculated columns, and supports both new and experienced users.
Performance Management
PDF generation for career development plans
With this release, administrators can now generate PDFs of career development plans in Workbench > Performance Management > Career Development Plans. They can do so by clicking the name of the plan and later selecting Generate PDF from the action menu found on the worker list in the Manage plans tab. They can also click View plan under the worker's name on the list and then click the Generate PDF button on the plan view page.
Two entry points for generation of a career development plan PDF
PDFs can be generated regardless of the career development plan's stage, workflow progress, or worker status, whether active or inactive. The content of the PDF reflects exactly what the admin sees in the UI. Generated PDFs include all submitted and published data, goals, descriptions, sections, and structure. Draft manager inputs that have not yet been submitted, as well as chat conversations between the manager and the worker, are excluded from PDF documents.
Participants section added to career development plan PDFs
We have added a new Participants section to career development plan PDFs. It appears before the Stage section. The Participants section includes the worker and the manager assigned to the process, including reassigned or system-assigned managers. This gives clearer context and ownership visibility in exported documents, which proves especially useful for audits and external sharing.

Deletion of career development plans
Users who have access to the portal for career development processes, namely local and global owners, can now delete career development plans within Workbench > Performance Management > Career Development Plans.
Only plans that are not in the Closed stage can be deleted. Therefore, administrators cannot select or delete closed plans. They can select a single plan, multiple plans, or all plans on the current page in the Manage plans tab. Afterward, when the admin clicks the Delete selected button located above the worker list, a pop-up displays the number of selected plans, warning them that the action cannot be undone. Upon confirmation, the system processes the deletion and refreshes the list.
Deletion of two plans in the Manage plans tab
Deleted plans are removed from the portal's worker list through a soft deletion. They are no longer visible in the Planner for managers or in Passport for workers. Deleted plans cannot be restored via the UI, are excluded from filters and search, and return a 403 error if accessed via an old link.
Crucially, deletion does not affect other ongoing processes, and the system prevents inconsistencies if multiple admins act simultaneously. In addition, reassignment and PDF features remain unaffected.
Together, these capabilities enhance administrative control, reporting, and data visibility for career development plans. From PDF generation with key participant data to the new plan deletion option, users now have more tools at their disposal to manage career development processes effectively.
