February 10, 2012: This weeks Litmos upgrades

Feb 9, 2012 | LMS Features

On Wednesday 8th February our development team released the following new features and enhancements:

Custom fields available on the user profile.
A highly requested addition to the system, you can now create your own custom fields for learners to fill in upon first sign-in or within their profile area which means you can now collect more information about your learners than ever before! Check it out by going to the “Account” tab, then “Messages & Labels” area and scroll down to “Custom User Data / Fields”:
Report on Custom Fields
In relation to the custom fields mentioned above, that new user data is now available in user and custom reports:

Also, the custom fields can be added to certificates as placeholders. The new placeholders that you can now add are as follows:

[LEARNERS_CUSTOM_FIELD_1] [LEARNERS_CUSTOM_FIELD_2] [LEARNERS_CUSTOM_FIELD_3]
New custom report to drill down into user’s modules
Our reports area is slowly getting an overhaul and this week we added a new way to view your user course / module results. In the Custom reports area, select the User Report and try searching on all users and a specific course. You will see a new icon to expand the users course results to show a module view on the same page:
Minor enhancements to result editing/ hiding assessment results and messages

You will now find a new setting in the Assessment module ‘Edit Settings’ area to give you more control over the assessment results that your learners can see:

There have been a few minor adjustments to the way course results are edited such as when you update a learner’s course result to ‘complete’ you no longer have to check all the boxes but can make one adjustment at the top:

Also, when you change a user’s compliance date this will automatically update the compliance date on their certificate:

Finally, the Team Leader Dashboard feed now only shows activity for users that belong to the Team Leader’s teams.
