REPORTING

New Content Fields in Reporting Hub

Using Reporting Hub Explore, you can now create reports with Content Access Dates, Enrollment Dates, and Publish Dates. To get to Reporting Hub Explore, log in as a manager role and go to Reporting Hub > Explore. Most explore base configurations have a type of Content Details section that will include these new fields (transaction explores will not have these details). 

• For Access Dates, look for field titles like content start date and content end date, or just start date and end date.
• For Enrollment Dates, look for enrollment start date and enrollment end date.
• For Publish Dates, you can find the most recent Publish Date in the field updated at.

 New Features

CONTENT

Limit Access Days for Free Content

If you use the Free Access with Registration setting to offer free content on your site, you can now limit the number of days learners have access to your content after enrolling. Limiting Access Days isn’t a new feature altogether, but now you can apply this limit to paid or free content.

 Tip

We also adjusted the location of the Free Access with Registration setting, so when you edit a content item you’ll now find it in the Enrollment step > Ecommerce tab.

To apply a limit to content that is free with registration, go to Content > Manage Content click on Content Title > Enrollment step > Ecommerce tab. Make sure Free Access with Registration is enabled. Once it’s enabled, the pricing info will no longer display and the expanded Advanced menu will appear right below the toggle. Enable Limit Days of Access After Enrollment? and set a number days. Don’t forget to Save at the top of the page!

 New Features

API

Enable/Disable Panoramas via API

We’ve added a new API functionality that will help alleviate some of the manual work involved in managing complex panorama structures. With our new Update Client Status endpoint, you can now disable and re-enable panoramas via API, allowing you to automate the process of suspending and reactivating panorama access.

 Quality Improvements

• ILTs and VILTs with Pre/Post learning now display webinar dates in the sidebar of the content detail page, making the experience consistent with standalone ILTS and VILTs.
• New translations are available for the messages that learners see when they try to enroll in a course that has no available seats. New translation fields (located in the Learner Experience section):
  • course.no-available-seats-no-waitlist
  • course.no-available-seats-join-waitlist
  • course.exceeded-max-seats

 Early Announcement

REGISTRATION

New Flow for Invalid Redemption & Registration Codes

We’re improving the experience of learners who try to enter invalid redemption or registration codes when they are registering in your Thought Industries instance. Currently, learners who enter an invalid code are still registered in your main school, which can lead to confusion and extra administrative work to move learners to the right panorama and/or ensure they have access to the right content. When this is released, learners won’t be registered when they enter an invalid code, and we’re expanding the functionality of the translations available for our /redeem page so that you can enter a custom call-to-action that includes linked text.

This update was originally scheduled for release on October 26, however, penetration testing revealed a security vulnerability that we are currently working to resolve. We’ve delayed the release to address this issue and will share a new release date ass soon as possible.

 Bug Fixes

We released fixes for the following:

• Enabling “Always skip detail page” at the global level & clicking into the course detail page of a SCORM Content Type automatically embeds the SCORM package into a browser (even if embed page is turned off).
