04:02 Alright. So let's go ahead and get started. Welcome everybody 04:04 to System Admin Insights, a community of highly creative system 04:08 administrators getting the most value out of ISIMs. And welcome 04:11 to anybody who's joining us for the first time. Today, 04:13 this is an experiment 04:15 with hosting this call in circle. So bear with us 04:18 with any technical difficulties. Let us know how it goes 04:20 for you. And if there's any issues that that prevent 04:23 you from participating fully, 04:25 just send me a DM in the platform, and we 04:27 will work on that and figure it out. We like 04:29 to start with a little gratitude 04:32 every call. So today, 04:34 I am grateful for my 04:36 sister, 04:37 Alyssa, who is the queen of dad jokes. And this 04:40 has been a tradition 04:42 between us for for as long I mean, our entire 04:45 lives. And so and so she hit me with this 04:48 1 yesterday. She said, why should you buy a funeral 04:51 home? 04:53 And my answer was, 04:55 because of the inevitability of death, creates a fully recession 04:58 proof business. 04:59 And she said she said no. She said, it's a 05:02 unique earning 05:04 opportunity. 05:07 Peter Peter Peter appreciates it. 05:10 Yes. That is Terrible. 05:14 That is that is fully 50 percent of my dialogue 05:16 with with my sister. And, yeah. So what else have 05:19 we got in chat here? So Caitlin says, 05:21 Caitlin says, there's fluffy snowflakes outside my window. All the 05:25 other ones have been at night, so I've missed them. 05:27 Got it. 05:29 Vivian's grateful for family. Me too. Liam says, wish my 05:32 cat would hang up in the office. My cat hangs 05:35 out in the office too much. In fact, I have 05:36 a I have to have a I have a bell 05:38 to get rid of her when I'm on calls. 05:40 Patrick says, grateful for Super Bowl Sunday. 05:44 Alright. Michelle, looking forward to the Super Bowl. Go hawks. 05:47 Terry says 27 years married to the same Wonder Woman. 05:50 Alright. That's beautiful, Terry. Thanks for sharing that. 05:53 And we got Sherry coming in with 1 here. 06:01 Alright. Sharice is looking forward to Super Bowl halftime show. 06:04 Yeah. Me too. 06:06 Alright. So, 06:08 this recording is, 06:10 gonna be in the platform, so you can view it. 06:12 It'll get auto posted, and the transcript will automatically feed 06:14 the AI in here. So all the conversations we have 06:17 about ISIMS, you'll be able to reference with the, with 06:20 the transcripts and with the AI. 06:22 And we will start with Vivian. 06:26 Vivian Larson, HR technology strategist at IRD with a forthcoming 06:30 book 06:31 called from 0 to ATS hero. We've been working on 06:34 this for months, and it's it's in Vivian's it's Vivian's 06:38 career and brain in book form. And, 06:41 I worked with her on editing it, and we're looking 06:43 to release this very shortly, 06:45 probably by the end of the month. 06:47 So, 06:48 we are looking forward to sharing that with our members. 06:51 Vivian, you're gonna talk to us today about the ISIMS 06:54 developer site. Is that right? Yep. So I'm gonna talk 06:57 we're We're actually gonna do several now you knows on 06:59 this because the topic is just too much to talk 07:01 about in 1 of these sessions, 07:03 and I don't wanna bore everybody. We do still have 07:04 questions that everybody wants answered on these calls, so it's 07:07 not gonna be the me show. 07:09 But, essentially, 07:10 we've gotten a lot of questions 07:12 from a variety of our customers about, I have an 07:15 integration. I think I have an integration. I might wanna 07:18 do an integration. How do I do it? 07:21 And so we're gonna do a couple of now you 07:24 knows about, 07:25 the developer site and about the process of getting ISIMs 07:29 involved in an integration so everybody is in the loop 07:33 on what needs to happen, and some of it's stuff 07:35 that you wouldn't really intuitively think of. 07:38 So 07:39 there's a poll. Do you wanna launch the poll for 07:41 me, Alex? 07:43 Caitlin, you got it ready to go? So this we 07:46 had to do a workaround for poll functionality in Circle 07:48 because they don't have native poll functionality the way that 07:51 Zoom does. 07:52 Caitlin, how's it be? You on it? Yep. Great. Alright. 07:55 So the way we're gonna do this, 07:58 is we're gonna post the question, 08:01 and then we're gonna thread the 08:03 options. 08:04 And you are going to emoji the option that you 08:08 select. 08:09 That is our workaround for 08:11 rigging pull functionality. So Caitlin has a first question there. 08:15 You need to initiate a new integration or update an 08:18 existing 1. What is your first 08:21 step? 08:21 So let's see here. Option a is contact your account 08:24 manager to verify the connector is available in your contract. 08:27 Option b, enter a case with help desk to get 08:30 to to get the implementation queue to get in the 08:33 implementation 08:34 queue. 08:35 Option c is verify your vendor is available in the 08:38 ISIMS marketplace. 08:40 Option d 08:42 is request a scoping call 08:45 with 08:46 a solutions consultant to map out requirements. And option e 08:49 is reach out to your customer success manager for guidance. 08:54 First of all, bravo. 08:56 We did it. We did it. Okay. So react to 08:59 react to the reply there, 09:01 with the 1 that you're voting for. Oh, it's working. 09:04 It's multi select, folks. So if you wanna if you 09:07 wanna go ahead and select the ones that you think 09:09 are relevant, it must be 1. Select. 09:11 That's wonderful. So we've got 3 votes for select. 09:15 3 votes for 4 votes for option c. 09:19 Votes are incoming. 09:21 We'll get this 10 more seconds. 09:27 Where should I be seeing this? So it's in chat. 09:30 Yes. So if you haven't found the chats, it's at 09:32 the bottom of the screen. 09:33 So at the bottom of the screen, depending on how 09:36 wide your browser browser window is, 09:39 it should be 09:41 there's a there's a share screen icon in the middle, 09:43 which is to the right of the camera icon. 09:46 And to the right of the share screen icon is 09:48 the chat icon. Are you still not seeing it, Peter? 09:51 I see the chat. Okay. So click the chat, 09:55 and 09:56 you will see, 09:59 Caitlin has the most recent 10:02 chat there. She says you need to initiate new integration. 10:04 And if you click 10:05 replies, 10:06 view thread Ah. Then you can see the replies there. 10:10 I see it. Okay. 10:13 Yes. Okay. 10:14 So there's a very good reason this is my first 10:16 question because it's everybody's first question. I need an integration. 10:19 Now what? 10:20 And 1 of the things when I worked for ISMs 10:23 that we would frequently run across was that there's, like, 10:26 nope. There's no real good place to start. There's not 10:29 a lot of clarity. Customers didn't even know what they 10:31 didn't know because a lot of times folks that are 10:33 doing this day job are not IT people. They are 10:37 folks like you and me who started out as HR 10:40 recruiters, and this is not how we are trained to 10:43 think. 10:44 So 10:45 there are a number of good answers, 10:48 but there are also a number of best answers in 10:51 this list. Every single 1 of them is a possible 10:54 path, 10:55 but the 1 that is the most 10:58 appropriate path is d. 11:01 And the reason that I say that that is the 11:02 most appropriate path when I'm looking at your numbers here, 11:05 it only 2 people selected it, 11:08 is because 11:09 you come into an integration conversation with an idea in 11:12 your head of what you want. 11:14 And when you actually talk to someone who understands the 11:17 technical challenges of building an integration, 11:19 your perception of what you need will evolve 11:23 and change. 11:24 So I will frequently start with folks who think that 11:26 they need an API integration with all the balls, bells, 11:29 and whistles back and forth. And when you actually figure 11:31 out what they want, they want a single flat file 11:33 packet that'll take, like, 5 minutes to build. 11:36 So 11:37 before 11:38 you engage an ISIMS resource because that is a process 11:40 and we will get into that, 11:42 you wanna really understand what you're building, what you need. 11:45 And then 11:46 c, 11:47 verify that your vendor is available on the market place 11:50 is also really important thing to make sure that you've 11:53 done before you engage anybody at ISIMS. Because if they're 11:56 not, 11:57 there's 2 different layers of integration with ISIMS. They're standard 12:00 and custom. 12:01 That's any SaaS provider 12:03 across the board. This isn't an ISIMS thing. This is 12:05 SaaS software. 12:06 So standard and custom simply means you're building it yourself 12:10 from scratch, which means you need a developer 12:13 or 12:14 you already have a framework or a backbone that ISIMS 12:17 has navigated with vendor, 12:19 and that backbone is something that they can give you. 12:21 And you can work within that backbone. 12:24 There's pros and cons to both sides, but if they're 12:26 not on the marketplace, you're 100 percent guaranteed it's custom, 12:30 which means that there may not be an ability 12:33 for the 2 of you to do an integration between 12:36 ISIMS and whoever the vendor is on account of the 12:38 fact that it their the technologies haven't been evaluated by 12:41 both companies to see if they can communicate with 1 12:44 another. 12:45 It's very rare with API 12:48 available and with the way that ISIMS API is structured, 12:51 that it's not a possibility. 12:53 But ISIMS will need a developer on their side to 12:56 actually build the the protocol to connect the 2 systems, 13:00 and the vendor will need a pro an an, 13:02 someone on their side from a development perspective to develop 13:05 the protocol. So if it's a completely new vendor who's 13:08 never worked with ISIMS, it can be a very long 13:10 process. 13:11 So that's why starting with the marketplace, 13:14 is it available is your first step. And then your 13:17 next step, if you're positive it's available, is to reach 13:19 out to your account manager 13:22 to tell them what you're trying to do, account manager 13:24 or CSM, if you're lucky enough to have a CSM, 13:27 and then see if they can schedule a call with 13:30 a scoping, 13:31 solutions consultant. Doctor Rob Bursey about this before today's meeting, 13:36 and he said that this step is the 1 he 13:37 wished more customers would actually do. 13:40 And the main reason for that is because 13:43 in my experience, 13:44 hundreds of integrations 13:46 starting a lot of these conversations. The customer doesn't know 13:49 what they don't know because they don't know what's possible 13:52 coming into an integration discussion. 13:54 So they come in with 1 idea and then either 13:57 they're shut down because they don't know how to communicate 14:00 what they're trying to do, 14:02 or it's physically not possible to do what they're trying 14:05 to do, or there are technical limitations, 14:07 or there are regulatory 14:08 limitations. 14:10 I've had some 14:11 rare ones where folks wanted to create, like, email integrations 14:15 and the emails contained PII. 14:18 And so ISA just nope. Isn't gonna do that because 14:20 it's a major security risk. So, 14:24 like, you need to understand when you're trying to build 14:26 an integration, what it is you're trying to do, and 14:29 whether it's technically possible. So that step is a big 14:31 1. Any questions before I keep talking at you? 14:35 No? Alright. So go ahead and launch the second question. 14:40 Second question is incoming. 14:42 Mhmm. 14:45 So the question 14:51 is before selecting your integration type, 14:55 what do you prioritize? Option a, 14:58 speed and cost, 14:59 which means choosing standard API to get started faster, 15:03 b, creating a master list of all fields and values 15:06 that you might need with a 2 to 3 year 15:08 outlook, 15:10 c, understanding if you need bidirectional sync capabilities, 15:15 d, evaluating all 3 options, flat file versus standard API 15:18 versus custom API, 15:20 and e, whatever my vendor recommends as their default 15:25 connection. 15:28 Options are loaded up in the most recent chat message. 15:31 You can click where it says replies, 5 replies, view 15:34 thread, 15:35 and start voting. Voting is coming in. 15:40 We've got a couple of votes for option d evaluating 15:42 all 3 options. 15:47 D is pulling ahead 15:49 followed by c and b. 15:52 Nobody's choosing whatever my vendor recommends as a default connection. 15:57 If I'm being surprised by that. I would choose that, 15:59 but I would feel judged for choosing it in this 16:01 group. So I didn't vote for it. 16:05 So, Christine, to vote, you would put an emoji 16:07 on the option. So if you hover over the option 16:10 and click the smiley face, you give it a thumbs 16:13 up. 16:14 Alright. So, Vivian, it looks like Dee has pulled ahead 16:17 by significant margin evaluating all 3 options, flat file versus 16:20 standard API versus custom API. 16:22 What do you think? 16:23 So 16:25 I want everyone to take this with a grain of 16:26 salt that I've built hundreds of these integrations. 16:30 So my level of understanding 16:33 is different. But 16:35 personally, 16:37 I find that a is the choice most people pick. 16:40 And meaning 16:42 standard integrations are fast. 16:44 Standard integrations are preconfigured. 16:47 It means that you have an out of the box 16:49 set of fields that you are going to be 16:51 expected to, 16:53 map your process and your system configuration to 16:57 and deliver, and they will turn around fast. 17:00 Standard integrations are the ones that we have the most 17:02 help desk cases for within 6 months. 17:04 Because standard integrations do not take into account the fact 17:07 that every single customer that uses an ATS 17:10 is not standard. 17:12 Everyone has done something extremely custom, and standard integrations don't 17:16 give you the flexibility 17:18 of the customization 17:19 that you are looking for. So 17:22 in the framework 17:23 of ISIMS, 17:26 API is really 1 of your more 17:29 flexible 17:30 options. 17:31 And the standard API is the 1 that I would 17:33 recommend going for because it is the most stable. 17:36 There are a set of fields that are preconfigured as 17:39 available. 17:40 But as opposed to I know you're hearing standard and 17:42 standard. This is 1 of the confusing things about the 17:44 way that they name their stuff. 17:47 It's a what's on first, who's on second kind of 17:49 conversation because you're hearing standard API and you're hearing standard 17:51 integration out of my mouth. These 2 are not the 17:54 same thing. 17:56 A standard integration 17:57 is the vendor has a list of stuff that they 18:00 want from ISIMS 18:02 1 through 50. 18:04 Standard API is here are all the possible things you 18:08 could potentially call 18:10 within ISIMS 1 through 1000. 18:13 The difference between the 2 of them is if you're 18:15 building an API integration using the standard API, 18:19 you can customize whatever within that list of fields 18:22 that are and options and items within the standard API 18:26 are available to you, and you can build what you 18:29 need to collect 18:31 even though it's standard 18:33 versus a standard integration 18:34 is rigid. It's this is a list of what you 18:37 got, and we can't 18:38 within reason, there there are 1 or 2 areas that 18:41 they could potentially customize. 18:42 But for the most part, you are stuck with whatever 18:45 the standard list is. And if you have gone and 18:48 customized your system extremely 18:50 everybody hates those ex education fields. They're ancient. They stink. 18:54 They don't work well. A lot of people will go 18:57 out of their way to get rid of the the 18:59 education fields and put in a custom education field. Well, 19:01 now guess what? 19:02 You can't send education as part of most of your 19:04 standard integrations because you're no integrations because you're no longer 19:08 using the standard field within ISIMS, and you've been gathering 19:10 data in a place that isn't available in the standard 19:13 integration anymore. Oh, Vivian. Sure. For a second. Go ahead. 19:16 Yeah. Yeah. Sherry commented, I've never been able to use 19:18 anything standard. There's always something we need that is not 19:21 included. Yep. 19:22 Yeah. 19:23 So standard is a 19:25 going I'm gonna tell you a little bit of a 19:27 long history story and date myself here. Going back to 19:30 2008 19:32 when I was working at KBR 19:34 implementing Brassring, 19:36 there was this mindset that we were going to start 19:39 creating plug and play 19:41 integrations. 19:42 And that mindset has stayed within 19:45 the ATS world. 19:47 I've talked about it and complained about it to friends 19:49 at Workday and friends who work with SuccessFactors and a 19:52 girlfriend who works at Dayforce and a friend of mine 19:54 who works at SAP. We all have the same 19:57 executive battle with the leadership mindset that there should be 20:01 this plug and play ecosystem 20:04 with all of these different systems. You find in this 20:06 you find the same thing with with, Salesforce, which is 20:08 another big SaaS software where they think that everything should 20:11 be plug and play. But, unfortunately, 20:14 the nature of software is that it is customized for 20:16 the user, 20:17 and there is no such thing as plug and play 20:20 in these worlds. If you think physical hardware, 20:23 your laptop could have a completely different DRAM set than 20:26 somebody else's, and those 2 manufacturers' 20:29 hardwares have different firmware, and the firmware doesn't talk to 20:32 1 another. So 20:34 it's the same thing. Let me think of, more non 20:37 techie answer. Well, if I could jump in, I think 20:39 a lot of people's expectations 20:41 are set by, 20:43 b to c software experiences. 20:45 Yeah. Google is so easy to use. It integrates with 20:47 everything. It's easy. And Google's also 1000000000000 dollar company or 20:50 whatever. Right? And so, like, 20:52 subgiant 20:53 things that we use every day, 20:56 it gets more complicated. Right? Mhmm. Don't ever get anybody 20:59 who does app development get started on Android. 21:02 Yeah. But, anyway, so it's 21:07 standard is this 21:09 ideal, 21:10 pretty everybody thinks it's gonna be perfect because it's a 21:13 set of fields, and it's speedy, and it's fast, and 21:16 it's wonderful. 21:18 But really take the time. That's why the previous question 21:21 I was saying start with a solutioning expert is so 21:24 important. 21:25 Really take the time to understand your ecosystem, what you've 21:28 built within ISIMS, 21:29 and what your 21:30 benchmarks 21:31 of crucial information are 21:34 before you decide. 21:36 It doesn't matter flat file API, custom standard. None of 21:39 that matters. What matters is, are you a special squirrel 21:43 or are you a simple Sally? And if you are 21:46 very special, you've built customizations 21:49 and workarounds 21:50 around fields that are standard within the system, those standard 21:53 integrations are gonna be a pain point for you for 21:56 the most part. And the place where I see this 21:59 pain the most is HCM integrations, 22:01 especially HCM and data warehouse 22:04 integrations, the, you know, Workday, Dayforce, 22:07 SAP, Oracle, all of those. They have a set of 22:10 standard integrations that ISIMS will ask you 22:14 to first look at because they are 22:17 preconfigured 22:18 and they are the quickest timeline and turnaround for their 22:21 integration 22:21 specialist to help you stand up, which is attractive on 22:24 both sides. ISIMS has the resource, has a defined time 22:27 frame for the resource to work with you. You have 22:30 the resource on your vendor side. They have a defined 22:32 time frame. They can work with you, and it looks 22:35 great on paper. 22:36 But at the end of the day, if you didn't 22:38 really sit down and analyze what you need in your 22:41 system's architecture, 22:43 that final product 22:45 may be 50 percent of the end goal of what 22:48 you were trying to achieve. So I'm gonna shut up 22:50 now. Questions? 22:54 Alright. So, 22:56 I have a question. When you say, when you say 22:58 standard, it's it's their 22:59 ISIMS calls it as prime. Right? 23:02 So so this is another place where they've relabeled things 23:06 and named them different things throughout the year. So, yes, 23:09 Prime Okay. And Standard are the same thing. I think 23:12 they've moved away from Prime. Prime is just a kind 23:15 of, 23:16 standard integration. 23:18 Okay. 23:18 Yeah. 23:20 Thank you. 23:21 So at the top of the hour, we're gonna move 23:22 over to our member questions. We've got questions from Christine, 23:26 from Tanya, Amanda, 23:28 Peter, another 1 for Christine, and Cheryl. 23:31 But we're gonna we're gonna do 1 more poll. Vivian, 23:33 is this a good point to transition to the third 23:35 1? Great. Yep. So Caitlin's gonna load up the final 23:37 poll question. 23:38 And the question is, what derails integration projects most often 23:42 in your experience? 23:44 Option a will be starting with standard API, then discovering 23:47 we need custom mid implementation. 23:50 Ouch. Question, 23:51 option b is realizing too late that we needed bidirectional 23:55 sync. 23:55 Also, ouch. Question c, incomplete field mapping and missing must 23:59 have data points. All of these are making me cringe. 24:02 Option d, underestimating timeline and resource resource availability, 24:06 4 to 6 plus week queues. Or option e, vendor 24:09 API limitations 24:10 we didn't know about upfront. 24:12 I have no idea, frankly. What derails integration projects most 24:15 often in your experience? 24:20 Sorry. I'm gonna let everybody answer. 24:24 Alright. Give another 24:25 10 seconds. 24:29 I was reading that as what is the thing that 24:31 most derails are where you're asking for people specific experiences. 24:34 Got it. Okay. Yeah. 24:35 Alright. So c, incomplete field mapping and missing must have 24:39 data points, 24:40 is actually option e is now leading with vendor API 24:43 limitations 24:44 we didn't know about upfront with 8 votes. 24:48 It looks like that's a clear winner. Vivian 24:50 Yeah. What do you think? 24:51 It's kind of all of the above. 24:53 And the reason I say it's all of the above 24:55 is I've been in a scenario where every single 1 24:57 of these is what's happened to my customer. I've even 25:00 been in scenarios where every single 1 of these happened 25:02 to 1 customer on 1 integration. 25:06 So that was a nightmare. 25:07 But, essentially, I agree with Eve being the 1 that 25:10 most people have 25:12 problems 25:13 with, and that is a pivot point for me. I'm 25:16 gonna drop something in the chat, and that is something 25:19 I don't know if all of you are aware of, 25:20 but if you're not aware of, you really need to 25:23 be. So ISIMS has spent 25:25 a ton of time and effort in documenting every single 25:29 piece of their 25:31 integration functionality. 25:32 There are gaps. 25:34 They don't always 100 percent line up, but there is 25:37 a group in that, in the organization now that is 25:40 very 25:41 dedicated to trying to keep this thing as up to 25:43 date as humanly possible. 25:45 So the developer site, I'm gonna just quick flash over 25:48 to it in the 5 minutes that we have. If 25:50 you are not, 25:53 then you see my screen. 25:55 No. I don't wanna share this window. 25:58 Share this window. Okay. So if you are not familiar 26:00 with the developer site, you should be seeing an ISIMS 26:02 page right now. Everybody seeing it? Okay. This is the 26:05 ISIMS developer site. 26:07 So anytime you have an integration, 26:10 start here. And start here with a technical resource because 26:13 this resource, it's a fabulous resource, 26:16 but a lot of us have no idea how to 26:17 read it because we're not technical people. 26:20 It actually if you look into the developer site, it 26:23 will go into calls 26:26 and the specific 26:27 call structure 26:29 that you need in order to do the different payloads. 26:32 And so this can be a lot if you don't 26:34 really know what you're gonna do. So in the next 26:37 series of now, you know, I'm gonna be deep diving 26:39 into each and every individual piece of this. But if 26:42 you have not requested access because it is behind a 26:45 login and it isn't something they have open to everyone, 26:50 you're gonna wanna go to the link that I just 26:52 dropped in the chat 26:53 and 26:54 ask them to create a new user for you. You've 26:57 got a new user request form, 26:59 and just go in here and familiarize yourself with us. 27:02 This is a really important resource for you to know 27:04 even if you're not currently in the process of looking 27:06 at integrations 27:07 because it gives you the ability to see all of 27:10 the different potential integrations that ISIMS has. 27:14 It gives you the ability to to I identify some 27:17 of the different 27:19 kinds of integrations, whether they're API, whether they're flat file, 27:23 etcetera. And it actually gets into the specific nitty gritty 27:27 of every single 1 of the integrations that is out 27:29 there. So it's a really great resource you really need 27:32 to familiarize yourself with even if you're not currently 27:35 in the process of planning an integration. 27:37 So any questions on this? Boy, we got Jeff Mueller 27:41 on the call here today. Jeff, you got anything to 27:42 say about integrations? 27:46 Wow. Unexpected pressure. Yep. 27:49 You're welcome. 27:52 Yeah. No. I'm just it's I I think Vivian's hit 27:54 every point. And and I'm just gonna say that the 27:57 the 1 thing that drives me the craziest is having 28:00 because I'm experiencing it right now with a, 28:03 a certain ATS and trying to trying to do some 28:06 work with them is 28:07 their ATS documentation 28:09 is straight trash, 28:11 and it doesn't do 28:13 some, like, of the most fundamental basic things you would 28:15 expect 28:16 ATS API integration to do. And it's make it because 28:20 it's not well documented, because it it lacks basic functionality, 28:24 you know, my customer is like, what what do I 28:27 do here? The answer is you can't make the vendor 28:29 change the API. 28:31 You can't make, you know, hang out new, 28:35 new endpoints. So 28:37 what I've been trying to push 28:39 a lot more is make sure if you're gonna use 28:41 a vendor, make sure they can actually do it. It's 28:43 like, It hit the vendor. It turned out to be 28:45 a nightmare, and it's gonna be ongoing. It's so now 28:47 they're stuck with this for, like, 2 or 3 years. 28:50 It's it was just a poor decision. You know? So 28:52 make sure 28:54 your vendors 28:55 can do what you want them to do. Mhmm. By 28:58 the way, Jeff has a business called Ironclad Consulting, and 29:02 they do data migration, everyone's favorite thing. 29:05 In fact, we we send referrals out to Jeff for 29:08 the work that he does with data migration. So that's 29:10 that's why I picked on you today, Jeff. Yeah. That 29:12 was great. That's for Jeff too. Jeff and I have 29:14 worked off and on together on data migration projects for 29:17 15 years now. So yeah. 29:20 I 13. 29:21 I'm old. 29:23 Still. 29:24 You're in good company. 29:26 Ariel has said you can also request developer side access 29:29 for your other internal technical resources and your vendor contacts. 29:32 Yeah. Ah, that's good. They're not too precious about giving 29:35 access. They just want everybody to go here first because 29:38 they spend all the effort to actually build this resource, 29:41 and it's all written down there. So familiarize yourself with 29:44 it. It's a great place to go. 29:46 Great. I was typing something in the chat, and so 29:49 I wasn't fully listening. But I think Jeff may have 29:51 mentioned what I was typing in the chat, and that's 29:53 a recent gotcha that we had from, like, a payment 29:56 and contract standpoint. 29:58 So I 29:59 was not aware that you can't just pay for the 30:03 API fee for 1 year at a time. So let's 30:05 say you have a new vendor and you want there 30:07 to be an API and you want your contract with 30:10 a vendor, you only sign for a year. 30:12 ISIMS will 30:14 force you to pay the fee for your whole contract 30:17 period. 30:18 You can swap out the connector for a different vendor, 30:22 but you'll be stuck with that connector if you're in 30:24 a multiyear contract. So that's 30:27 really a bummer. You know, my feedback to them was, 30:30 wow. That really limits us from being able to try 30:32 to test new vendors when we have to commit, you 30:34 know, if you have a multiyear contract with ISIMs. 30:38 So something to keep in mind as well. 30:41 Thanks for sharing that, Jessica. 30:44 Alright, Vivian. How are we doing? 30:46 So that's all I wanted to cover for today. I 30:48 think the deep dive into the developer side and going 30:50 into the various pieces, we're we're gonna do that in 30:53 some upcoming now. You know, it's here. If there's anything 30:56 particular, like, 1 of our folks asked about a, apply 30:59 framework 31:00 that's actually in here. 31:03 So if there's anything in particular on this developer site, 31:07 go in there, look at it. If there's anything in 31:09 particular you want me to deep dive into in 1 31:11 of the upcoming now you knows, please post that in 31:13 circle, 31:14 so that we can continue the conversation. And, I'll make 31:17 sure in the now you know to mention and then 31:19 I'll go into further depth on it. But as we 31:21 continue this series, we're gonna talk about this probably for 31:24 the next 4 meetings or so. 31:26 Alright, Vivian. Thank you so much 31:29 for sharing all of that juicy 31:31 knowledge today. We're now gonna move over to our 31:36 full member questions. I will share my screen. Here we 31:39 go. 31:43 Alright. 31:44 Here we are. So we're gonna start with the questions 31:47 that are posted here in circle and then open up 31:50 it open the the conversation up to the floor. If 31:52 you're not on our paid tier yet, feel free to 31:54 drop questions in chat at any time. 31:57 But if you're a paid member and you haven't posted 31:59 your question yet, make sure you put it here in 32:00 the platform so we can prioritize it. Okay. So let's 32:04 start off with Christine. Christine, you had 2 questions. You 32:07 wanna pick 1 to go first here? 32:10 Actually, we talked about the LinkedIn applied network. Oh, we 32:12 did. I knew that. We did. Okay. How about this 32:14 next 1? 32:16 Terry actually sent me the answer already. So thank you, 32:18 Terry, for that. 32:20 I just had to remove it from her the person's, 32:24 their, login, 32:26 groups they were allowed to, and so she was in 32:28 the send from. I don't know how she got that. 32:31 We've I've been looking in the system for, I don't 32:33 know, it feels like forever trying to figure out how 32:35 to take it off, and Terry solved it in 17 32:37 seconds. So thank you for doing that, Terry. That was 32:40 awesome. Nice. 32:41 SAI to the rescue. Thanks so much, Terry. 32:44 Alright. So let's go to 32:48 Tanya. Tanya, are you in the call? 32:50 Yep. I'm here. Okay. So Tanya has a question about 32:54 screen tab configuration. 32:56 You wanna tell us about this? Yeah. So we ran 32:58 into an issue where we realized our recruiting team had 33:02 more access to background check information 33:05 than we would like. 33:07 In our integration with First Advantage, it basically imports a 33:10 PDF 33:11 of the background check. So even if you don't have 33:13 access to the First Advantage system, 33:15 you can still see every single detail on somebody's background 33:19 check, which 33:20 our HR teams are responsible for background checks. So 33:25 went into 33:26 the back end of the system just to see what 33:28 I could hide. 33:30 The hidden tab or hidden button is of is visible 33:34 there, but it was grayed out for the background screen 33:37 sections. 33:40 So I went to a TSE, and I was like, 33:41 hey. Can you just do this for me because it's 33:43 grayed out? And they said that's not possible. 33:45 So a little bit of a tease that it's visible 33:47 there but isn't actually usable. 33:50 And they said the only thing was to hide the 33:52 entire screen tab, which then you lose access to screening 33:56 questions, assessments if you have those set up, all of 33:58 that type of stuff. 34:00 So got a lot of really great suggestions 34:03 from everybody of just things like, hey. Maybe try this, 34:06 maybe try that. I think the route we're gonna go 34:09 is actually with the, 34:12 integration. 34:13 We can turn off the recruiter's visibility to it entirely. 34:17 They're not initiating background checks anymore, so it should solve 34:20 the problem for us. 34:22 But if you have recruiters initiating the background check and 34:25 somebody else evaluating, 34:27 then that solution wouldn't really work. 34:30 So You can hide the fields globally 34:32 for screening 34:34 in the background. 34:35 ISIMS can do that for you. 34:37 So they can't hide the tab. They can't hide the 34:40 background check, 34:41 but there's a set of fields that it sends the 34:44 information to. So you can actually hide those fields from 34:47 the user. It's not something you can do at a 34:50 user admin level, but a dev admin level should be 34:53 able to do it. 34:54 Okay. Because there's 2 34:56 there's 2 tabs. There's, like, our prime background screen and 34:59 then our regular background screen, 35:01 and they both contain the information. 35:04 And there was background screen, you can hide. The prime, 35:06 you cannot. Yeah. So, 35:09 I think for us, just removing it 35:12 with the integration works. But if, again, if somebody is 35:15 a bit more, 35:18 sharing responsibilities around background checks or 1 person does the 35:21 first piece but not the second, 35:23 that solution probably won't work for them. But 35:25 I think Security rule option would have been 1 of 35:28 the suggestions I made as well. 35:30 I think your route is the best way to go. 35:32 So 35:33 but just for the learning in the team, if you 35:35 don't want to hide it through the integration, 35:38 a security rule is something that you can build where 35:40 if the 35:42 background check is present 35:44 or if that field is not blank, then you can 35:46 hide the tab. 35:48 It does limit functionality. Like, they'll still you'll you're still 35:50 hiding the tab. You wouldn't be able to go see 35:52 screening questions or anything like that, but you're hiding it 35:54 much later in your process where it's less relevant for 35:57 you to look at screening questions. And then you should 36:00 still be able, even if the tab is hidden, 36:03 to attach them via email. If you're sending them out, 36:06 your user has permission to do that, or pull them 36:08 into reports if your user has that those permissions as 36:11 well. So 36:12 Okay. That's good to know too. Thank you. 36:15 Yeah. 36:16 By the way, I just wanna say hi to Jen 36:17 Theobald. 36:19 Thanks for joining today. Jen used to be a super 36:21 TAM at ISIMS, 36:22 and she's now at Air Methods. 36:24 So welcome, Jen. 36:27 Alright. Let's go on to our next question. 36:31 Amanda, are you on the call? 36:34 Don't see Amanda on the call today. 36:36 Let's see here. 36:38 Patrick, you're here. We've got Big Oops with confidential portal 36:41 posting on LinkedIn. 36:43 Uh-oh. Wanna talk us through this 1? 36:47 Yeah. We had a 36:54 Patrick, still there? 36:59 Let's see. I hear typing. I do not hear Patrick. 37:05 Patrick is typing. 37:07 Mic issue. Uh-oh. Okay. 37:10 Give me a few seconds here. 37:15 Can you hear me? Yep. Got you now. Okay. Alright. 37:18 Recruiter posted posted a job to the confidential portal. 37:22 They didn't want it to go out to anything else 37:25 but that and got a message for the marketing team. 37:28 Hey. This job also was on LinkedIn 37:31 as well. 37:32 What could we have done different to make sure that 37:36 it didn't post to the social media? Was it the 37:38 social distribution 37:39 toggle that should have been clicked? 37:41 Because I'm not sure. 37:44 Make sure Google Analytics is turned off for that portal. 37:51 Step 1. 37:52 So there's a step there's in the background. There's a 37:55 setting called turn on Google Analytics for this portal, which 37:58 means it's being sent via the XML feed. 38:02 So when someone scrapes you through the standard XML feed, 38:06 those jobs are in there. So so whoever set your 38:09 confidential portal up missed a step if it is there. 38:13 There. Okay. Alright. I will double check that. Thank you 38:15 for that. Yeah. Social distribution 38:18 is a very sad sundown function within ISIMS. I wish 38:21 still Lyft existed because it was a very cool feature. 38:24 But LinkedIn basically cut it down cut it off at 38:26 the knees in the late 2 thousands, 38:29 in the late tens. 38:31 And it's really I don't know too many customers who 38:34 are still using social distribution. They haven't taken it off 38:37 because we're SaaS and everybody's in the same platform. There 38:40 might still be some customers using it, but social distribution 38:43 is probably not your culprit. 38:45 Okay. You would have had to go into a totally 38:47 different system to set it up. 38:51 Got it. Any other thoughts on Patrick's issue here? 38:57 Alright. Thank you, Patrick. 39:00 Next I would also sorry. Just 1 other thing. I 39:02 would also reach out to your LinkedIn folks if you 39:04 have a rep or an account manager and just let 39:07 them know to block the URL 39:09 for your confidential portal from their scraping. 39:13 Okay. Alright. I will double check with them then. Yeah. 39:18 Great. Alright. So, Cheryl, you have a question. Cheryl, are 39:21 you here? 39:26 I'm here. Sorry. Yep. Hi. Do you guys hear me? 39:29 Yeah. Okay. 39:31 I've 39:32 I've seen this before where 39:34 a company has, like, multiple brands and then they brand 39:37 their job postings. 39:38 I can't recall if I saw it on my career 39:40 sites or the portals, 39:42 but we need to I'm not quite sure exactly where 39:45 we plan on branding certain things, 39:48 but I was just wondering if somebody could give me 39:49 a high level overview of how that's actually set up. 39:53 If I recall, the, like, logo was part of 39:56 a location 39:57 profile or a company profile, but I can't remember. So 40:00 I just wanted to kinda get a high level of 40:03 how that's set up. 40:09 Liam, 40:10 can you speak to that then? A little bit. It 40:13 was set up before I actually started, but we've done 40:15 some work, 40:16 as far as, like, modifying it, so I'm familiar. So, 40:20 it sits under, like, the 40:23 the location or data search. 40:25 So we have location fields under there for company location, 40:28 but then we also have, 40:31 company fields, brand fields, and a lot of that information 40:34 kind of, ports over to us from UKG. 40:37 But you're you're right that we do have 40:40 the actual 40:42 JPEG logos 40:43 stored as a field within our our brand 40:47 values, 40:50 along with, 40:51 like, company description information. 40:53 And then as as far as, like, the career sites 40:56 of the portals go, 40:57 they pull those specific fields into certain sections. So I 41:01 can 41:02 I could share our, 41:05 company career site, the public 1, if you wanna see 41:07 what it looks like for us? 41:09 Yes, please. That would be great. And then I can 41:12 that kind of explains what I was looking for, which 41:14 was 41:15 is that how it's typically and then do you use, 41:17 like, the postable fields just to be able to post 41:20 out, like, the logo or something as part of the 41:22 job description? 41:28 Not postable 41:29 fields. 41:31 So we we use ISIM's career sites, but then we 41:34 also have, 41:35 a third party company called Clay Global that did our 41:39 design for it. So it's like 41:42 a 3 company 41:44 project. 41:46 Unfortunately, I wasn't part of the project team that that 41:48 set it up. So hard for me to answer, but 41:51 I can confirm that we do use the logos from 41:55 the 41:56 the brand profiles, 41:58 and there is a specific field within that that we 42:00 pull from. 42:01 Got it. Got it. Okay. 42:03 And we also do that with, like, email templates and 42:06 things like that because we're Reyes Holdings is 1 42:09 1 company that we have multiple entities underneath us. So, 42:13 we set up the brand image variables within our email 42:17 templates and things like that so that when recruiters from 42:21 different businesses use the same email templates and brands correctly 42:24 for them too. Right. Nope. Oh, that's awesome. 42:27 That makes sense. 42:30 Okay. 42:30 Alright, Cheryl. Thanks. Oh, please go ahead. Thank you. 42:38 Alright. Let's go to, 42:42 Caitlin. 42:43 This is an article or is this a question? 42:46 That was just a reflection. This is a reflection. Got 42:49 it. That's right. Workflow protocol. Great. Thank you for sharing 42:52 that. 42:53 Cathy has a question though in the chat. Cathy has 42:55 a question in chat. Alright. 42:57 Let me find it. 43:02 I gotta stop sharing. That's what's going on. Alright. So 43:05 here we go. So, Cathy, 43:07 you said I missed if you said that social distribution 43:10 was sunset. Not sure if that is what was said, 43:12 but if so, is there an alternative we should use 43:14 in lieu of social distribution? 43:17 Social distribution was a really cool free functionality 43:20 that ISIMS offered, and it is not sunset in the 43:23 sense that it no longer works. If you've already got 43:25 it configured, 43:27 it is still out there and functioning in the world. 43:29 It is developmentally dead, meaning they are no longer doing 43:32 any development work on it to my knowledge. 43:35 So 43:36 social distribution, 43:38 was an ability for you to auto post jobs to 43:41 Facebook, if you have a company Facebook or something along 43:44 those lines. That functionality is still very much up and 43:46 active. But the LinkedIn piece of it, where 43:50 prior to, like, circa 20 18, 43:53 it used to be able to go out and look 43:54 at LinkedIn profiles and give you a list of possible, 43:58 like, LinkedIn profiles that matched your search or those kinds 44:01 of things. No longer works because LinkedIn shut the door 44:04 on the ability to do that kind of thing. 44:07 So when I say social distribution is dead, it is 44:09 not being pushed. It is not an actively marketed feature 44:13 within ISMs, and it is no longer being improved or 44:15 developed. But if you actually have it and are working 44:18 with it, it's not like they're gonna shut it down 44:20 on you. 44:24 That help? Yes. Thank you so much. 44:27 Okay. Great. 44:28 So we also had 44:31 I think that's it. 44:33 Tanya, I think we got your question about how you 44:34 handle a request for non electronic, etcetera, 44:37 previously. 44:39 Alright. So the floor is open. Who else has a 44:41 question today? 44:43 You can drop it in chat if you can't do 44:47 if you can't speak right now, 44:50 or you can just jump in. 44:53 Yeah. This is Ariel from. 44:54 I have a question. 44:56 And, oh, I actually also have an update on I 44:59 I missed the call after I posted that, 45:02 our jobs 45:03 were mysteriously 45:05 posted everywhere. 45:07 So I do have an update on that, which is 45:09 a fun Easter egg for anyone else that might wanna 45:11 check their configurations. 45:14 We 45:15 gave our business partners 45:17 full access search 45:19 at their very strong request, and 45:22 we didn't wanna do it, but we did. And, 45:26 I 45:28 I personally only use, like, a few of the searches 45:31 and just didn't really, 45:34 you know, clock them having 45:36 access to more searches, 45:40 thinking that they would just utilize the ones in their 45:41 dashboards. 45:42 And it, 45:44 when I was going through the implementation piece, you know, 45:46 I was trying to look and see, okay, what do 45:48 I need to take away to try to prevent them 45:50 from inadvertently doing things? 45:52 And as far as, like, posting jobs goes, that was 45:54 something we knew that we didn't want them to have 45:56 access to. So we, you know, hit the posting tab. 45:59 We took away the posting center button in the job 46:01 search because in the ISEN's documentation, that was, like, where 46:04 it says 46:05 is the only place you can bulk post it on 46:07 post jobs. But it turns out in the job posting 46:10 search type, which I do not use because all those 46:13 fields are available in the job search, 46:15 there is a cancel post button there. 46:19 And so I guess a VP had been trying to 46:21 run a report on, like, posted jobs 46:24 and pressed that button. And 46:27 there is a pop up that says, like, are you 46:28 sure? And I think she was just moving through and 46:31 didn't realize that she had done that. 46:34 And that is how she accidentally canceled the postings for 46:37 all of the posted jobs. So 46:39 it was definitely just, you know, kind of an eye 46:42 opener of, like, okay. Well, definitely, we just I actually 46:45 ended up, 46:46 taking away the search 46:49 drop down from their toolbar completely, 46:52 because I essentially just I only want them to go 46:55 to their dashboard to the reports they have made for 46:57 them. And then if they really want to, of course, 46:59 they can still edit the search forms there, and they 47:01 still have access to the searches. But that way, it's 47:04 less likely that they're gonna go and 47:06 be running other kinds of search types. 47:09 So, yeah, that was the it was not a gremlin. 47:11 It was a confused 47:13 business partner from the Netherlands, 47:17 pressing a big red button that we didn't know previously 47:20 existed. 47:21 So that was the update on that. And then, I 47:24 do have another question actually 47:26 about, 47:27 hidden field hiding fields 47:30 on the job 47:32 when no security rules are applied. 47:35 So the reason why I want to do this is 47:37 for the hiring managers. So, essentially, I'm trying to, 47:42 the business wants to make the create job process more 47:45 streamlined in terms of, like, they don't want the hiring 47:48 manager to even, like, see 47:50 the fields at all regardless of whether or not they 47:52 have to actually input values for them. They don't even 47:55 want them to see them at the time 47:57 they're in the create job screen, 47:59 so that it just looks more streamlined. 48:03 But then, of course, like, those fields then will be, 48:05 you know, populated later, and then they will be read 48:08 only at a later time. 48:10 And so I tried to, use a security rule that 48:13 was grabbing, you know, if the job is in preapproval, 48:17 because I was told by TSE, 48:20 apparently, incorrectly, that that would capture that time because it's 48:23 kind of a weird situation. It's in the create job 48:26 screen. Like, technically, the folder is pre populated as preapproval, 48:29 but it's not, like, really a job yet. So I 48:32 myself was doubtful that it would actually you know, that 48:35 the 48:36 field settings would take effect there, and they did not. 48:39 So 48:40 they were basically like, oh, well, if you just hide 48:42 them without any security rule applied, 48:45 then that will make it take effect 48:49 in the create job wizard. 48:51 And then as the other security rules that come into 48:53 play, like, you know, the job I have 1 where 48:56 the the job is pending approval, 1 where the job 48:58 is approved, and 1 where the job is closed. Then, 49:00 you know, when 49:02 I configure on, like, the pending and the approved security 49:05 rules, 49:06 I'll unhide and then make read only. I'm just wondering 49:10 if there is anything that I'm not thinking of or 49:12 any other implications that I'm not aware of in terms 49:15 of having a field hidden 49:18 without security rules applied just because, generally speaking, I know 49:21 that that is 49:23 you know, can have 49:25 issues. 49:26 So I'm just kind of wondering if anybody else has 49:29 any kind of experience or insight. 49:33 Do you have any conditional field logic configured on any 49:35 of those fields? 49:40 Some, but not 49:42 yeah. Only only some. So there's 1, like, 49:45 for, like, if addition or replacement. 49:47 Like, some are, like, they'll drop down other fields, 49:51 but not a ton. 49:52 Okay. So if a field is hidden from a user 49:56 and you have conditional field logic applied 49:59 and you don't have the conditional field logic doing the 50:02 hiding 50:04 or you're hiding the field itself manually in field hiding, 50:07 it may break the CFL. 50:10 Okay. I see. It's a bug. It's not supposed to 50:13 work that way, but I have seen it do it. 50:15 Like, even later on if the field is unhidden at 50:18 a later point when 50:20 Yep. 50:21 Oh, it'll just break it completely. It will break it 50:23 completely, or you have to go back and rebuild the 50:25 rule. I've had I had an implementation of a rule 50:28 that had, like, 16 different layers to it, and it 50:31 was so painful because we couldn't figure out what the 50:33 problem was 50:34 until we went into the hiring manager user and found 50:36 out that the field was hidden at the field high 50:38 level 50:40 instead of it wasn't a security rule. It was just 50:42 they hid the field, 50:43 somebody in configuration, and it just kept breaking the rule 50:47 for whatever reason. It would work for 1 user. It 50:50 wouldn't work for another. 50:52 Shoot. 50:53 Yeah. So just be careful if you have CFL configured 50:57 on any of the fields that are affected by what 50:59 you're trying to hide. 51:01 Any fields that are gonna be hidden. 51:03 Correct. 51:04 Now if you write the rule to hide the field, 51:08 it's a different story. 51:12 Because you can hide a field using CFL. 51:17 Yes. But what, 51:21 like, would that take into 51:23 effect, like, in that create job? Login group specific. 51:27 Oh, yeah. No. Okay. Yeah. That's right. That would not 51:29 work. Okay. 51:32 Thank you. Yeah. That's the kind of information that I 51:34 need to get. 51:36 Yeah. That that's an unfortunate gotcha, 51:39 when it comes to CFL. Now 51:41 I am going off of information from 20 19, the 51:44 last time I implemented a really crazy CFL. 51:47 So reach out to the help desk, ask a how 51:49 to question, 51:50 ask them if they fixed that bug. They might have. 51:54 I doubt it, but they do. Also. 51:57 Yeah. 51:58 CFL is already kind of buggy. 52:01 Yeah. 52:02 Yeah. Okay. Thank you. 52:04 I'll have to make sure that that is not being 52:06 used anywhere. 52:08 Thank you for the question, Mariel. 52:10 Thank you. 52:14 So if you're open oh, hold on 1 second. 52:19 Oh, there we go. Alright. So so if you're interested 52:21 in joining our paid tier, if you're on our, free 52:24 tier right now, it includes on demand consulting sessions with 52:27 the IRD team, ISIMS discussion moderated by our team, access 52:32 to our full course library, 52:34 and a whole lot more. I'll drop a link to 52:36 a form you can fill out to apply. We hope 52:38 that your employer can sponsor your membership, but if they 52:41 can't, we'll work something out. So I'll drop that link. 52:44 There you go. 52:46 And we'd love it if you could give us some 52:47 feedback on how this session went for you today. 52:51 I'll drop that link in chat as well. It's a 52:53 very quick little survey. It'll take you about 60 seconds. 52:56 Okay. With that, who else has a question today? We've 52:59 got another 10 minutes. 53:06 Floor is open. 53:18 Jen, can I pick on you? Because I'm curious to 53:20 see how things are going. 53:23 Jen Theobald. 53:26 Can you hear me? Yes. We can. How are you 53:28 doing today? Hey. Good to see you. 53:31 It's been a while. Yeah. You're going good. 53:35 AirMethods is a really interesting company. You know, I've spent 53:38 the majority of my career in the health care space 53:41 and then working at ISIMS. And, 53:44 now that it's kind of a combination of that, 53:47 aviation and health care, the needs are 53:51 definitely different. 53:53 You know, we've got multiple brands, and so working through 53:57 some of those components. We're working on, 54:00 implementing some some new screening tools, interview tools, 54:05 heading down the the route of 54:09 signing on with recruitix 54:11 to manage some of our, you know, programmatic and how 54:14 we're doing things there. And so kind of this the 54:16 the standard stuff, but it's always, really unique. 54:20 That's really cool. Health care in the sky. With a 54:22 new company. Yeah. You know, when I think of health 54:24 care, health care in the sky didn't occur to me 54:26 as a as a sub sub industry niche. That's really 54:29 cool. Definitely. 54:31 Anything unique about, 54:34 this organization 54:35 as far as what that means for you as a 54:37 system administrator? 54:41 You know, nothing 54:45 nothing more than, 54:47 I think what others experience when you experience when you 54:48 have brands and and sub brands. Yeah. So this company 54:52 specifically does emergency flight medevac, but they're known, as different 54:57 company names 54:58 based on the hubs that we have throughout the country, 55:01 as well as having a separate brand that, like, does, 55:05 retrofitting 55:07 aircraft for, like, government contracts and things like that, and 55:10 then a tourism division in Hawaii. 55:13 Okay. So, you know, a lot of, 55:15 thinking about branding and what that looks like in in 55:18 various spaces. But, 55:22 you know, the needs are are similar 55:24 because a lot of our roles 55:27 amongst all of the brands, 55:29 there's a lot of crossover in there. We still need 55:31 mechanics regardless of, you know, whether it's it's retrofitting an 55:35 aircraft or maintaining 55:36 an aircraft at a, you know, hospital or, you know, 55:40 for a tourism aircraft. So 55:43 Got it. That is fascinating. Well, good to see you. 55:45 Thanks for joining today. Yeah. Thanks for for opening these 55:48 back up again. There's always so much great content in 55:50 here, so I always appreciate it. Absolutely. 55:54 Alright. Who else has a question today? We have another 55:56 5 minutes. Anybody can ask a question. 56:00 I do have a just a quick question because I 56:02 hopped on late. 56:03 I caught the tail end of the ISIMS developer community. 56:06 Is, 56:07 I missed the part of how to access that. 56:11 Can I I didn't Drop the link in the chat? 56:13 Oh. And on the the link in the chat, go 56:16 to, 56:17 new member request. 56:18 So if you have to actually ask them to create 56:21 a username and password for you, but they don't they're 56:24 they're not really that strict about who gets 1. So 56:26 you just have to sign up and, ask them to 56:29 send you a username and password, and then they'll keep 56:31 it as part of your logins. It does expire every 56:34 6 months too. So you go in, and it's like, 56:36 it doesn't work anymore. It's because you have to reinitial 56:39 it. Okay. Change your password. And you said this was 56:42 kinda set up to kinda help guide us for with 56:44 any questions that we can kinda search here for before 56:46 submitting, like, a ticket? 56:48 Yep. It's a great resource. 56:50 It's a little hard to navigate. 56:52 So stay tuned for the next couple of weeks because 56:54 I'm gonna be going through it, like, page by page 56:56 to give you some more guidance on how to navigate 56:58 it. But you're welcome to go in there and and 57:01 look through it on your own because pretty much every 57:03 integration they have is documented on there somewhere. 57:06 Awesome. Okay. Thank you so much. 57:09 Thank you, Kathy. Mhmm. 57:11 Alright. I have a few more minutes. Time for 1 57:13 more quick question. 57:23 Going once. 57:25 Going twice. 57:28 Well, Vivian, thank you so much for bringing the the 57:31 wisdom and the value today. Caitlin, thank you so much 57:34 for your help with the polls. 57:36 So glad that folks are able to, 57:38 get on this successfully. Screen sharing, there were some resolution 57:41 issues, but I figured out how to zoom it. 57:43 So I think we're good to go. We're gonna keep 57:45 doing these in circle for the rest of this month. 57:48 Thank you everybody once again for joining system admin insights. 57:51 It's always so great to see you here. Hope you 57:53 have a restful and restored weekend. Take care.
