Efecte Self-Service portal (ESS) 2024.2, Release notes
3Executive Summary
The Efecte Self-Service portal (ESS) 2024.2 release announces several new improvements in administrating and using self-service. To help administrators succeed in their tasks better while configuring, the additional information fields can now be collapsed to see a big picture of available fields quickly. Here, we introduce a quick action button to move form fields to the top or bottom of the list. From a deeper configuration perspective, the ESS can send a label code instead of a value to the ESM if the static drop-down codes are in use.
This version supports the following languages:
Czech, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, English (GB & US), Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
The following browsers are supported:
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
- Mozilla Firefox
- Mozilla Firefox ESR
- Safari 16.5 or newer
The only supported database for this release is PostgreSQL version 15.
Note

Efecte Identity Management version 2020.3.0 or newer.
