Release Updates November 2023

Save time and share key insights for each panorama client by copying panorama custom reports! We’ve made it a whole lot easier to share reports with Panorama Admins and Managers. Main Site Admins can now copy any Looker look or dashboard from a panorama reporting hub into other selected panoramas.

See the Panorama Reporting Hub article for the how-to.

• Image of certificates imported via the External Course Activity REST endpoint are now visible to learners and admins in the learner transcript.
• Admins can now print/download the full transcript in cases where it extends past one page.

• Learners receive a processing error alert when logging in if they have a linked workbook associated with a course that has been deleted.
• The share to Facebook button on the "Social Share Cards" link to X (formerly Twitter).
• When a learning path is associated with a tag and that tag is used in a recommendation assessment, when the learning path is deleted, it remains associated with the recommendation assessment.

We released three updates to improve site security surrounding account lockout and login rate limiting functionality.

1. New Account Lockout Functionality
2. New Login Rate Limiting Functionality
3. Change to existing Security Volume Requests setting

We’re making admin permissions a bit more granular to make it easier for your admins to manage webinar connections. The new Manage Webinar Settings permission will allow users to access the Webinar Settings page, where admins can add, manage, and reconnect accounts for various webinar providers.

This permission was previously included with the Manage School Settings permission. Access to the Webinar Settings page was enabled as part of the Admin default role, since Manage School Settings was enabled for the role by default.

Change to permissions for default Course Author role:

We’re also enabling this permission for the Course Author default role because Course Authors need to have active and accurate webinar accounts as part of their normal course authoring flow. If you do not want your Course Author users to access webinar providers, you can assign your users a custom role without the Manage Webinar Settings permission enabled.

Change to permissions for custom roles:

This permission is disabled by default for all other roles, including all existing custom roles. If you would like any of your users with custom roles to have access to webinar settings, you’ll need to enable this permission for those roles.

When you make copies of learning paths and courses, you’ll now see more objects and settings copy over to the new course or session. Save time by creating content templates and know that important settings will be in any copies of that template!

You’ll notice this improved copying behavior when you copy a course or create a new session from within the admin interface, when you use bulk import to create new sessions, and when you clone or create new sessions via API.

If you utilize Training Credits as part of your panorama content distribution workflow, today’s release gives you additional control over your credit batches!

It’s now possible to set different expiration rules for each credit batch, to edit expiration dates, and to edit credit batch balances. These actions can be accomplished in several ways:

• Main site admins with the Manage Credit Accounts permission can now edit expiration dates and balances in the admin interface.
• Credit batch expiration dates can be set via API with the existing Create Credit Batch REST API.
• Credit batches can be updated via API with a new Update Credit Batch REST API.

You can use our new Conditional Detail Page Redirect functionality to effectively increase privacy for your unreleased content detail pages. With this functionality enabled, when users try to access the native detail page of an unreleased content item they are not enrolled in or provisioned to (e.g., by copy/pasting the detail page URL into their browser), they can be redirected to another URL of your choice.

This new functionality relies on the existing External Detail Link field. You can read more about it in our Building a Detail Page support article. Also note that, unless the new functionality is enabled, existing functionality of the External Detail Link field is unaffected.

• Not able to use the bulk "Course Group Import" functionality with tags.
• While editing a panorama landing page the 'View Live Page' button displays the redemption page (/redeem) rather than the panorama landing page.
• When the "Always Regenerate Certificates" feature flag is active, the link to past certificates on a learner's transcript is updated to the current certificate when a new certificate is issued.
• When editing the catalog settings for content items, specifically the tags field, the names that are used for folders are showing up as tags that can be selected and added to content.
• When editing a quiz or test page type and adding questions the questions appear for the learner even if the updates have not been published.

You can now limit the number of days learners have access to content when they are enrolled via API. Previously, the Limit days of access after enrollment? setting did not apply to learners who gained access to content via API enrollments. With the release of this optimization, the Create and Update Users API endpoint now contains a enforceAccessDays property that, when set to true, will enforce access limits for new API enrollments. The attribute will also be available in the interface for OID and SAML, and will work with JWT.

Our November 14th release will include a ticket that may have an effect on permissions for custom admin/manager user roles that have the Manage School Settings permission enabled. Please see below for details on this planned change and contact your CSM if you have any questions or concerns.
