Advanced Group Permissions and more

by Paul Janssen, Innovation Manager
Improvements

Member profile page

We've overhauled the Member profile pages. There are now dedicated tabs for various info and settings:

  • Profile: see the member's profile info, like company, address, custom fields, etc

  • Participation (only shown when inside a course): see the learner's history, certificate, results.

  • Assignments: see all roles/assignments of the member. If you have permission, then you can assign new groups, courses, programs, etc. You can also change the role of the member. 

  • Account (for managers only): view and manage the user's Email/username, access code, external IDs, deactivation date, etc, etc.

Member profile page

Decentralized group and member management

There is new “advanced group permissions” feature, which (when enabled) features:

  • Domain managers can delegate member management to "Group Managers" (as defined per group)

  • Group managers can only create and modify members within their own group(s).

  • Group managers can only view learning results of the members within their group(s).

  • When setting the permission of a course, a group manager can only select (members of) his own groups. E.g. he cannot assign other groups/member to the course.

Please contact us to enable the advanced group permissions feature.

Course/ program settings

  • There is now a dedicated “Permissions” tab where you can control the visibility and enrollment settings. The “Seat limit” field has moved to the “General” tab.

  • On the “Permissions” tab you can now specify which Groups of members should be “automatically enrolled” in the course (or program). Previously, this had to be done by domain-level managers under Setup > Groups. 

Course settings

Miscellaneous

  • The Setup section now has crumb-style navigation

  • Added support for images in WebP and HEIC format

We have just released some improvements that we think you'll appreciate:

  • Audio Playback: Now you can make audio playback mandatory in courses. Similar to video content, you have the flexibility to set the minimum percentage of audio that must be played before learners can proceed to the next step.

  • Hyperlink Insertion: You can now directly insert hyperlinks in Programs, Hand-picked widgets, and the Navigation bars. This eliminates the need to navigate through the Setup section to add a link.

  • We fixed an ugly 500 error that occurred when performing bulk edits on members.

Improvements to Start Pages and Editor

by Paul Janssen, Innovation Manager
Improvements

Start pages

  • Place widgets side-by-side by choosing one of the new 2 and 3 column layouts.

  • Add video, images, and text blocks directly on the start pages for short introduction messages.

Further changes

  • The "Arrange blocks" function has moved to the Edit mode of the Page and Start page editor.

  • Date and Time pickers have been replaced with browser/platform native controls. This is especially handy when you're using Coursepath on iOS or Android.

Bug Fixes

We're excited to let you know that we've fixed a couple of bugs:

  1. Sometimes, the banner wouldn't show important course details like duration, start and end dates. That has been resolved now.

  2. Previously, the Course Visits report wouldn't display all the data when the selected period crossed daylight saving time. But now, all the data is included again.

We apologize for any trouble these bugs may have caused and thank you for your patience while we sorted them out.
