BI CONNECTOR
Require SSL for BI Connector
We want to ensure our security is top notch so we are going to require enabling SSL for BI Connector in an upcoming release. If you are using BI Connector, you most likely do not need to take any action. However, if you haven't installed a certificate and enabled SSL with your connection, please review the steps below and decide if action needs to be taken.
- Download the certificate from AWS by clicking here.
- Follow instructions for the relevant product you’re using to connect to BI Connector.
- Install the certificate and enable SSL with root certificate.
Warning
If you have not enabled SSL by the release date, there will not be any adverse effects on your data. However, you will get errors and be unable to connect going forward. If this happens, please follow the steps provided to solve this issue.

Ensure header logo has the proper label so it can be read by screen readers.

WCAG: Mediation on Learner Transcript
Ensure that the header and “Print” links on the transcript page can be read by screen readers and that the learner profile menu is keyboard navigable.
If your site has custom CSS targeting elements in the header on the transcript page, the accessibility changes included in this ticket may have an impact on your custom styling. In order to retain your styling, you may need to make adjustments in the elements you’re targeting:
- When there is no company logo uploaded, the default fallback text in the
.company__beta-logo .company-logo__container
class changed from anh4
tag to aspan
tag with class ofh4
. Anyone targeting.company_beta-logo. company-logo_container h4
will need to update CSS to.company_beta-logo .company-logo_container span
- The transcript page title in the
.company__school-name
class changed from ap
tag to anh1
tag. Anyone targeting.company__school-name p
across all pages will need to update CSS to.company__school-name p, .company__school-name h1
. Anyone who is specifically targeting.company__schoolname p
inside the learner transcript page will need to update thep
tag to anh1
tag.
Examples
Original Code | Updated Code |
.widget--transcript-header .company__schoolname p |
.widget--transcript-header .company__schoolname
h1 |
.widget--transcript-header_standard
.company__schoolname p |
.widget--transcript-header_standard .company__schoolname h1 |
.transcript .company__schoolname p |
.transcript
.company__schoolname h1 |
ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENT
WCAG: Provide a Valid Label for Form Fields
Ensure that fields on the assessment, reflection, survey, catalog, cart, and learner profile pages have valid labels so that they can be read by screen readers.
We’ve also made two key updates to the comment box field on discussion pages:
- We added a new translation to define the instructional text that appears to learners in the comment box field. The translation is called
thread.enter.comment
and defaults to “Enter your comment here.” - We adjusted the label on the comment box field. If your site has custom CSS targeting this text area, the accessibility changes included in this ticket may have an impact on your custom styling. In order to retain your styling, you may need to make adjustments in the elements you’re targeting:
- A new label has been added above the
textarea
element on the comment form. A new translation has been added for this label: thread.enter.comment - The
textarea
has been moved out of a label element. Anyone targeting thetextarea
in the comment form currently with a rule that includes thelabel
tag will need to update the CSS rule to remove thelabel
tag. - To target the elements specifically: the comment
textarea
has a id of#comment-text
and the new comment label has an id of#comment-text-label
- A new label has been added above the

CONTENT
Allow Non-English Characters in Content Titles
We previously required content item, course section, and course lesson titles to have at least one English (Roman alphabet) character because we use those titles to build the content URL slug (e.g., …learn/course/intro-to-marketing).
With this update, we’ve expanded the languages that can be used to build slugs, so you’re no longer required to include roman characters in title fields.
Examples of how we build slugs:
- If a title contains only Roman characters (i.e., the letters and numbers used in English, Italian, French, etc.), those form the slug.
- E.g., Video test > …learn/course/video-test
- If a title contains non-Roman characters, they will be converted into Roman characters in the slug
- E.g., введение в маркетинг > …learn/course/vvedenie-v-marketing
- If a title contains a mix, slug formation depends on which languages are involved. It may only include the Roman characters and omit those characters from the other language, so we recommend that you do not mix different languages within a single content title.
- E.g., Intro to マーケティング > …learn/course/intro-to
ECOMMERCE
Allow Credit Redemptions Exclusively
If you’re using our training credits functionality to allow learners to purchase content with credits, you can now configure content items so that they are purchasable only by credits. Previously, you were required to also input a real-world currency cost (e.g., in dollars) in order to make the item purchasable with credits.
This functionality includes a new translation field redeem-with-credits.credits-only
, which defines the text that appears at the top of the course details page sidebar when a course only has a credit cost and no dollar cost. This translation defaults to "Redeem with credits".
Heads up! We’ve also taken the opportunity to improve the navigation of the Ecommerce settings. You’ll now find the Credit Requirement field in Enrollment > Ecommerce > Pricing section together with all the other price settings.
See our Training Credits article for more information.
We released the following quality improvements:
- When learners view the session selector dropdown on the content details page, learning path page, or reschedule page, the sessions are now listed in chronological order of when they start (i.e., the start of the first meeting).
- Starting today, clicking on the Suggestions link in the left sidebar in the management interface will take you to our new product suggestions forum, where you submit your product suggestions as well as review and upvote suggestions submitted by other users. We’ll also be using this space to give periodic feedback as we incorporate your suggestions into the Thought Industries platform. The Suggestions link is currently only available to default Admin roles from the management interface.
- The Client Detail endpoint will now include the panorama status (
disabled: true/false
) as an additional value in the API response. - The Credly integration will now only sync and pull in badges in an active status in Credly. Badges in an archived or draft status will be filtered out. Up to 50 active badges can be synced.
We released fixes for the following:
- Prevent all Google Analytics events from firing in cases where a Google Analytics integration was previously connected and then disabled.
