Release v10.4 has some exciting new additions! We are working hard to provide the best tools for you and your team. Check out the Feature Release Summary Video available as of March 7th!
Adaptive Employee Experience
Tax Wizard Updates
Tax Wizard is having a little change in Adaptive! In this release, we are introducing changes to the Tax Wizard feature within Adaptive under both Tax Updates and Onboarding. The main change will now be that the feature will pop up in a separate window, rather than be housed on the screen. But not to fret, all content and elements will remain the same! Below are the following updates in the respective areas:
Tax Wizard:
User Experience: The Tax Wizard will no longer open within the current screen. Instead, users will be prompted to complete the tax wizard in a separate browser tab.
Enhanced Clarity: We have updated the verbiage on the page to provide clear instructions to the user regarding the wizard workflow. Additionally, the button to initiate the tax wizard has been renamed from Start Wizard to Open Tax Wizard for better alignment with the updated process.
Refresh Changes Options: To ensure that users have the most up-to-date information on the Tax Updates screen, we have added a Refresh Changes button. This button allows users to refresh the page and view any recent updates made to Tax Wizard.
Onboarding:
User Experience: The Tax Wizard will no longer open within the current screen. Instead, users will be prompted to complete the Tax Wizard in a separate browser tab.
Enhanced User Guidance: A warning message has been moved to the page before starting the Tax Wizard, stating: "All tax forms must be completed and submitted to save your information. Any partial updates will be lost." This message will help users understand the importance of completing all tax forms.
Updated Button: The button to initiate the Tax Wizard has been renamed from "+ Tax Forms" to "Open Tax Wizard" for better clarity and consistency with the updated process.
Confirmation Button: Once the user has opened the Tax Wizard, an additional button has been added to confirm completion of the wizard. This will provide users with a clear way to indicate that they have finished updating their tax forms.
Success and Warning Messages: To further assist users, we have added success and warning messages to the page:
Success Message: "Tax Form updates confirmed. Click 'Next' to continue onboarding."
Warning Message: If users have not completed the Tax Wizard, a warning will appear stating: "Tax form information not completed. All tax forms must be completed and submitted to save your information. Any partial updates will be lost."

Occurrence Count Alert Report Enhancement
You’ve asked for this! We have updated the "Alert Occurrence Count Report - Date Range" to have an option to enable occurrence tracking point amounts to be displayed along with the alerts!
Note: The report will not give employee balance totals, only point amounts per alert and the corresponding point totals for the date range selected.
