🔥 New Features

REPORTING - Meetings Overview in Reporting Hub

We’ve added a new Meetings Overview dashboard to Reporting Hub Library! Here you can access a list of all scheduled ILT and VILT meetings in one place. This dashboard will make it easier for you to:

  • see upcoming meetings for a particular course or instructor
  • double-check that meetings data has been entered correctly
  • check number of enrolled learners or how many attended and more!

To view this new dashboard, go to Reporting Hub Library Learner Actions > Meetings Overview.

 

🔥 New Features

ECOMMERCE - Improved Dollar Off Coupons for Bulk Purchases

Users can now apply a dollar off coupon to multiple seats when purchasing in bulk. Previously, applying a dollar ($) off coupon only applied the discount to one seat in the order, rather than multiplying it across all seats.

🖌️ Note

It is also still possible to apply percent off coupons to bulk purchases (no change in behavior for that method).

 

🔥 New Features

TRANSCRIPTS - Show Multiple Course Completions on Transcripts

We’ve made an improvement to transcript functionality for courses that learners retake multiple times. You can now optionally display a record of all completions of courses, learning paths, and ILTs/VILTs on the learner transcript.

Previously, the only way to display multiple course completions was to attach a certificate to the course and enable the Display Expired Certificates setting. However, based on customer feedback that learners may need to see a history of all course completions for courses without certificates, we've added this new option!

Default behavior remains unchanged, but you can now enable a site-wide setting to display a record of ALL completions of courses, learning paths, ILTs, and VILTs on the learner transcript.

⛳️ Displaying Past Course Completions is behind a feature flag. Reach out to your CSM or Thought Industries Tech Success & Support for assistance to enable this feature in your instance.

 

🐞 Bug Fixes

We released fixes for the following:

 

  • Unable to refund purchases to learners from the payments tab
  • Unable to create Webex Training Sessions in anything but the instance's time zone

🔔 Early Announcement

ECOMMERCE - Allow dollar off coupons for bulk purchases

We’re expanding the function of coupons so that users can effectively apply dollar off coupons to bulk purchases. Currently, applying a dollar off coupon only applies the discount to one seat in the order but the new behavior will multiply it across all seats. This functionality is scheduled to release on January 18th (subject to change).

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.

  1. Download the certificate from AWS by clicking here.
  2. Follow instructions for the relevant product you’re using to connect to BI Connector.
  3. 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.
