Release Updates March 2023

• A CAM fix has been released to solve the following issue: adding a CAM downloadable resource to a course caused the locations of other CAM assets in the course to be removed. This fix is not retroactive so as a solution for existing courses--you can remove any CAM assets and reinsert them, in order to see the locations populate correctly.
• Allow updating the email address of dual role users via API when sending the externalCustomerId in the body of the request.
• Gamification award combining all points instead of displaying individual amounts.
• No Action Occurs Upon Selecting the Account Name Sort Arrows on Pano Training Credits Accounts List
• ILT Meetings Display in Inconsistent Order on Catalog Details Page.

You can now access all of your meeting rosters in one place. Our data engineering team has created a new dashboard that combines enrollment and attendance (roster) records for all meetings, including ILT and VILT meeting types with automated and manual attendance. Use this report to pull all attendance for a single learner, a course, or a specific period of time.

Find the new “Learner Attended Meetings” dashboard by visiting Reporting Hub > Library.

This data empowers you to:

• Filter reports to check attendance for an individual user across courses, sessions, and meetings.
• Track completion requirements
• Use meetings data in conjunction with other content actions to determine trends regarding potential risks with, for example, learner dropout, falling behind or performance evaluation.

We’ve created a new API endpoint to allow you to efficiently reschedule learners into a new session so that you can reorganize class rosters when classes get too big, too small, cancelled, or any other reason.

A few key things to note about using this endpoint:

• The endpoint can only be used for learner users.
• Seat limits are respected.
• The reschedule action is only successful if the intended course is open for enrollment and has seats available. Otherwise, the endpoint will return an error and learners will remain in the original course.
• The action is tracked in the Content Actions Log as a manager_reschedule action.

• API Endpoint: Our Assignment External Activity</a > API now accepts instructor feedback via a new optional gradeFeedback property
• Layout Previews: Improved experience when using layout preview button so that the left admin navigation bar is hidden when the layout preview is engaged.
  
• Likert Surveys: Removed “Likert Results Overview” report link from Reporting Hub Library. This link will be reintroduced when this new report is complete.
• User Management: Update the popup that appears when disabling users so it is clear that a user will be disabled.
  

We released the following WCAG quality improvement:

• Add Alt Text to Testimonial Star Rating: Ensure that screen readers can read the star ratings when the ratings appear on a content widget, such as a Featured Content widget or in the catalog widget. The stars display on the preview tile to inform learners of the content's star rating. The screen reader will now be able to read the star rating on a content tile.

Ensure that screen readers skip over decorative icons in the dashboard stats widget.

• When unselecting a multiple choice question in a quiz/ test in a mobile web browser, the answer remains highlighted.
• Using API endpoint "create & update user" to update a user email & name without including externalcustomerID creates new use
• When attempting to update a panorama client via the API, if required fields are not sent, they are set to NULL.
• When removing a course from a collection by archiving the course the collection's catalog information is not correctly updated.
• Tax code description does not appear until the page is refreshed when adding a new tax code.

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 an h4 tag to a span tag with class of h4. 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 a p tag to an h1 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 the p tag to an h1 tag.

Examples

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 the textarea in the comment form currently with a rule that includes the label tag will need to update the CSS rule to remove the label 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

Examples

Ensure that screen readers can clearly read the arrow buttons on the Testimonials widget.

Ensure that screen readers skip over hero images since they are used for decorative purposes.
