We’ve completely revamped the export functionality—now faster and more flexible.

You can now choose between:

✅ Export all results
✅ Export filtered results
✅ Export selected results (including individual entries)

For exports of up to 100 results, the download starts instantly in your browser.

For larger exports (even 50,000+ entries), you’ll receive a download link via email as soon as your file is ready.

More filtering & clarity in the dashboard

Your dashboard widgets now deliver exactly the insights you need:

The system remembers your selection across sessions—so your dashboard always looks exactly how you configured it.

PDF exports of internal jobs now include notes

With softgarden’s Feedback Solution, verified feedback can be automatically published on an SEO-optimized page and on kununu—helping you improve your employer rating.

Assign tasks to multiple people
