Badge Format Defaults

You can set up badge format defaults in Configuration. Here you set the default values for badge format and border color.

The defaults are used for new badges in existing content and new badges in new content.

The settings are found in:

  • Configuration => Settings => Content Editor
Badge format defaults

Changing the settings will influence new badges only.

Bulk Update of Users’ Details

You maintain users and their details in the system using the Edit User option. This works well when you have a few users to update.

When you must change a larger number of users, then this is time-consuming and error-prone due to the manual nature of the update.

To simplify and accelerate updates to users’ details, we have added an Edit feature that handles bulk updates of user details.

You select the users and then you pick the property to update and the new value. The new value replaces the current value for all selected users.

Bulk update of user details

Here I have filtered for users matching part of the username as ‘user1’. Two users match the filter. Then the users are selected via the checkboxes to the left.

Press ‘EDIT’ to display the update dialog.

Bulk edit dropdown

The ‘Organization’ property is selected and the new value ‘uQualio’ is entered.

Press ‘UPDATE’ to apply the change to all selected records.

This is a convenient way to make bulk changes to your users. It reduces both time and the risk of making errors by manual updates.

Onscreen Help as Hints

To help you we have used a step guide to show how things work or what an element in the application does. The step guide with a tour through each application or feature is fine to get the overview, but feedback from users is that they just need an explanation for a single item on the screen.

We have changed the title from ‘STEP GUIDE’ to ‘HELP’. When you press ‘HELP’ hints are shown as circles where you can click to get the explanation of the element.

Onscreen help button for hints visual.

Pressing a hint circle shows the explanation linked to the item.

Help hints in action

If you press ‘GOT IT’ then the hint disappears from the screen until you select ‘HELP’ again.

If you click anywhere else then the hint dialog disappears, but the hint is still available if you want to see it again.

New Reports and Report Features

You can add users to the account by using ‘ADD USERS’.

Send invite option visual

When you select one or more users through filtering or selection, then you have an additional set of options displayed:

  • ‘Edit’, see explanation ‘Bulk Update of Users’ Details’
  • ‘Reset…’, where you can reset the user or send the user a reset password notification
  • ‘Update Info Request’, in case you want the selected users to update their user details
When you select one or more users through filtering or selection, then you have an additional set of options displayed:

When you first filter users and then select one or more users, then it is the selection that the actions work on. Here the filter on ‘User’ yields 21 users. Two users are selected using the check box to the left in the row.

Here the filter on ‘User’ yields 21 users. Two users are selected using the check box to the left in the row.

The action selected only works on the two selected users and not on the 21 filtered users.

Video Download Available

You can download videos from the Content Editor. When you have the topic listed press the download button on the topic and your original video is downloaded to your local machine.

The download time depends on your local connection to the internet and could take some time for larger video files.

You can download videos from the Content Editor.

We may later add an option to download all videos from your content in one step.
