OrangeHRM 7.13: Your Key to a More Effective HR Strategy

By OrangeHRM | Published on Apr 18, 2024 | minute read

OrangeHRM's latest update, version 7.13, brings a wave of exciting new features designed to enhance security, user experience, and overall efficiency for HR teams. Let's delve into some of the key highlights:

Enhanced Security with Two-Factor Authentication

Data security is paramount for any HR system. OrangeHRM 7.13 introduces two-factor authentication (2FA), protecting your sensitive employee information.  2FA requires users to provide a second verification factor, such as a code from a mobile app, in addition to their username and password. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, safeguarding your valuable HR data from potential breaches.

Improved Customization with Support for Secondary Job Titles

OrangeHRM 7.13 empowers HR professionals with greater control over employee data by supporting secondary job titles. Previously, including secondary job titles alongside other custom fields within the job details section posed a challenge. This update eliminates this limitation, allowing you to accurately reflect an employee's complete roles and responsibilities within your organization.

Granular Control with Custom Date-Based Email Notifications

Streamline communication and ensure timely reminders with custom date-based email notifications. OrangeHRM 7.13 addresses a previous limitation where email notifications were restricted to predefined dates. Now, you can leverage the power of custom date fields to trigger automated email reminders that align with your specific organizational needs.

Streamlined Request Desk for Enhanced Efficiency

The Request Desk in OrangeHRM 7.13 receives a much-needed boost in functionality. Supervisors can now submit salary increment requests directly through employee management requests, streamlining the salary review process. Additionally, the ability to define instructions within request forms and sections empowers you to provide clear guidance to employees submitting requests. Granular permission controls for request form sections ensure data privacy and access is restricted based on user roles. Finally, a new Quick Filter based on request type allows for efficient sorting and management of requests within the system.

Training Management Gets More Flexible

OrangeHRM 7.13 introduces more flexibility in managing online courses. System administrators can now revoke editing permissions from admins enrolled in specific courses, preventing accidental modifications. Additionally, the ability to make the online course coordinator role optional provides organizations with the freedom to tailor the training management structure to their specific needs.


OrangeHRM 7.13 is a significant update that empowers HR teams with robust security features, improved data customization options, and enhanced functionalities across various modules. With this update, OrangeHRM continues to solidify its position as a comprehensive and user-friendly HR management solution. Book your FREE demo of OrangeHRM today!
