Martide's End of 2019 Updates & Upgrades

While most of us spent the latter end of 2019 winding down for Christmas and/or New Year, as per usual the Martide Development Team were still hard at work creating new functions and features and putting any bugs to bed before they took a well earned rest!

So if you’ve been wondering what the team got up to at the end of last year, wonder no more. Here’s a rundown of just some of the great new features they built, fixed, tweaked or added to the platform during October and November.

Changelog updates: new features and amendments in October

• Employers and manning agents are now sent an alert if they try to add the same seafarer to more than one job vacancy
• We added a vessel’s flag information into the PDF resume/CV for seafarers
• We built a basic integration for the ATPI travel agency
• We added the vessel’s flag to the Recruitment Page
• Employers and manning agents now have the ability to print out the questions and responses for any given interview
• Users now have the ability to rotate attachments
• We added Rank, Gender, Airport and Phone Number to Data Templates

And this is what the team were working on and upgraded the platform with during November.
