Fixes and improvements

 

13.Layout and security groups: Layouts default setting by security groups was not applied properly. This bug has been fixed and it is now possible to force the layout to a security group. Note that if a user selects another default layout, this will take precedence.

15.Assignment and confirmation: For requests defined with Agency assignment method,  the button used to assign a candidate also had the effect to tick the candidate confirmation check box.
