Recruitment Manager Upgrade
Step 1 - Record the Current Package Version
Prior to upgrading you will need to find and record your currently installed version:
- Navigate to Setup > Installed Packages
- Search for TargetX_SRMb
- Note the version number
NOTE: If your current version is 2502.0 you are on the most recent package and should proceed to the Email Upgrade.
Step 2 - Install the Upgraded Package 
This is your "ending version" (i.e., the version you want to upgrade to). You can select any version that's higher than your current package version. Packages are cumulative, meaning the upgraded package you select includes all features from previous packages. For example, if you're upgrading from Package A to Package D, that package includes all features from Packages B and C.
- Navigate to TargetX Recruitment Suite: Admin Group to select and obtain the upgraded package.
- Choose "Install for Admins Only."
- Remember to update the appropriate Profiles and Permission Sets if additional security is required.
Step 3 - Complete Additional Configurations
After installing the upgraded package (i.e., the ending version), you must complete additional configuration steps to ensure all functionality is available. Use the following chart to complete the additional configurations. Identify your starting package and your ending package, then complete all configurations steps in between. For example, if your starting version is xxxx.1 and you're upgrading to xxxx.4, you'll need to complete all configuration steps for xxxx.2, xxxx.3, and xxxx.4.
Starting Version |
Ending Version |
Configuration Steps by Release These are the steps you need to complete, from the starting version to the ending version. For example, if your starting version is 2205.0 (May '22) and you're upgrading to 2208.6 (August '22), you'll need to complete the configuration steps for 2206.3 (June '22), 2207.0 (July '22), and 2208.6 (August '22). |

Item 1: Review/Update RM Preferences (optional) Before enabling the new settings, review your automations, particularly if you have created Flows or custom Workflows, to ensure uninterrupted functionality.

Note: The Duplicate Contact Workflow Rule, which you may or may not have in your Org, was mistakenly marked as 'deprecated and relocated to a trigger'. While the workflow was deprecated, no trigger was created as a replacement. If the Duplicate Contact Workflow Rule exists in your Org, it should be deactivated, and no corresponding trigger needs to be activated. |

Note: During the installation of the February ’25 Recruitment Manager package, a batch class will populate the Access Key fields for the objects listed below. All records in these objects will be updated. Please review any workflows, process builders, and flows that trigger updates to these objects, as this mass update may trigger them. If the automations perform actions that you do not want occuring on these records, you may want to deactivate the automations temporarily while the batch job is running. This batch class will be removed in the May 2025 release. If you'd rather not have the batch class run automatically, you may choose to delay the Recruitment Manager upgrade until May. At that point, you can run the access key creation script manually by object if needed. Access keys are used as a security measure to ensure that the person viewing personal information through sites cannot view another user's data by changing the Salesforce Id:
Item 1: Create a Flow to update Access Keys for custom objects (optional) To update Access Keys for your custom objects, add an Access Key field to your custom object then create a flow to handle the key updates: Notes:
Item 2: Run Access Key Update in Base Settings for Custom objects (optional) To update existing Access Keys for your custom objects, run the Access Key Update in Base Settings:
