Training & Learning Release Notes

November 2022

• When creating a Program, Administrators have the option to enforce the order in which users must complete the courses.  
• Hyperlinks to courses in emails users receive have been removed. When a user receives an email notifying them of an enrollment, due date, or overdue course, they will now need to log into the site to take the course. 
• The Edit option has been restored to the Actions button drop-down in a user’s transcript, allowing an Administrator to update the transcript. 
• Users can now launch courses from the Home page and My Enrollment.  
• The Training Report now reflects data in real-time, providing more up-to-the-minute information.
• The graphs in the Training Report have been removed to better align Training & Learning reporting functions with those in the upcoming Accelerate platform.

September 2022

Improvements

• Improved and aligned report formatting with that of other Velocity products
• Added Export button to updated Training reports so users can continue to export necessary data
• Updated course package descriptions to clarify what they include

Changes

• Usage Reports have been removed from the Reports menu

Bug Fixes 

• Recently, updates were made to course statuses to reflect Complete, Incomplete, and Not started. Two additional statuses, No Show and Passed, did not update properly; these statuses will now show as Incomplete and Complete, respectively. 
• Enroll button on the class sessions list page will now allow users to enroll in a session of their choosing when they are enrolled in a class.  

August 2022

Improvements

• Classes can be created without subjects  
• Users no longer receive notifications when they are added to or removed from a group 
• Instructor names can now be seen on the Class Session Details page 
• Updates to the Training Report provide an improved filtering and exporting experience 

Bug Fixes 

• A permission error that was preventing some users from being unenrolled from courses has been resolved. 
• Subjects created by customer Administrators will now display in the Learning Center. 
• Enrolling groups in a course/program has been corrected, so that only the users in that group will be enrolled. 
• Incorrect program links, under Learning Content, now take users to the correct program details pages. 
• Status in scoring was inconsistent with recording Complete or Passed, Incomplete or Fail. With the recent fix, the system will now show consistent statuses of Complete, Incomplete, and Not Started. All courses subsequently will record statuses consistently, providing better reporting for all customers. 
• The notification “bell” has been reinstalled on the user’s home page to provide easy access and the ability to see notifications quickly. 

June-July 2022 

Summary & Highlights 

To stay on top of your training needs, our team has worked hard to add the course length to the details section of the transcript, enhance archiving, and fixed an important issue with the Require User Emails setting in System Settings. Read below for more details on our improvements and bug fixes. 

Improvements 

• The Course Length is now visible in the Detail section of a User’s Transcript. This creates visibility for how long courses should take to complete. 
• The Archive feature has been enhanced to give administrators the ability to archive any courses they do not want in their course list. In addition to the archive feature, completion records will remain in user transcripts of that archived course. Please note, if a user has not started the course that is being archived that course will be removed from their transcript. 

Bug Fixes 

• In Security Settings, when customers have Require User Email unchecked, users with an email will only receive one email to complete their account set-up and they should receive no training notification emails. Users with no email will receive no emails, as expected.  
• Certificates with long file names now display correctly. 

May 2022 

Summary & Highlights 

• To streamline the onboarding and organization of learners with the recently provided Training Management functionality, the User Import spreadsheet has been revised to include job titles, locations, and work functions in Advanced Training & Learning. Once the User Import spreadsheet is completed and uploaded, learners will automatically be assigned to the groups noted and enrolling learners is easier than ever. 

Improvements 

• Advanced Training & Learning Administrators can use the enhanced User Import Spreadsheet to associate learners by Job Title, Location or Work Function to a group, or groups, to simplify getting learners into the system and organized to assign training.  
• The GDDPR Audit, Privacy Banner now presents on Login Screens to allow users to consent (or withdraw consent) to the use of any cookies and provides user with information about how the cookies are used and the data is tracked (see Privacy Policy.) 

TAL (Training and Learning) v.0.19.0 

April 2022

Summary & Highlights   

• We are continuing to work to make Training & Learning better! Work has been continuing to include Training Management functionality within the application and will be released soon. Otherwise, we made a small but significant improvement to the Course/Class/Program/Groups description field to present with formatting. 
• We said it was coming and now some of Training Management functionality has been released to Advanced Training & Learning. You may now add Job Title, Location and Work Functions Groups to easily assign learners by these attributes. Advanced Training & Learning Administrators may also create new subjects to better organize courses that are uploaded via the PowerPoint Plug-in. 

Improvements   

• The description field will carry over the formatting from the Course/ Class/ Program/ Groups description fields on the “Add” pages to the listing screens, respectively. 
• Advanced Training & Learning Administrators can now assign a Group Type of Job Title, Location or Work Function to a group to simplify the enrollment process.   
• When a learner has been added to a Group with a “Group Type” of Job Title, Location or Work Function, the learner’s User Details Screen will have the corresponding fields populated with job title, location, or work function.   
• Multiple job titles, locations and work functions are allowed   
• Known Bugs: Currently, Job Title and Work Function assigned to a learner do not appear on the learner’s User Details Screen. Locations are inconsistently working.  

• • Hot Fix to resolve these bugs was released as TAL v0.18.1 on April 27, 2022. 

• Standard Training & Learning users will see that the Job Title field has been removed from learner’s User Details Screen.  
• Advanced Training & Learning Administrators may now add and manage new custom subjects on the Learning Center screen to provide Company Specific Course Subjects, if desired
