URL for the Optional Logo (New Feature)

The theme allows administrators the ability to add an optional logo at the top right of the header (available under the "Header" tab in the theme settings). This enhancement allows the administrator to also specify a URL that the user will be redirected if they click on the logo. The URL opens in the same browser window.

Calendar Invites for Sessions with Multiple Dates (Improvement)

When a user signs up for a face-to-face session, a calendar invite is sent to them and added to their calendar (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.). However, if a session had multiple dates in it (e.g. March 21 and March 28), both dates were embedded in the same invite and certain calendar applications only accepted the first date and discarded the second date. As part of this improvement, the learning environment now sends a separate invite for each date in a session.

Automatic Exclusion OCI Users from Program and Cohort Conditions (Improvement)

Programs and cohorts allow an administrator to define business rules to automatically add and remove users. In order to exclude OCI users from these programs / cohorts, the administrator had to set explicit rules. If an administrator were to forget this important step, OCI users would be added to programs / cohorts and potentially be enrolled in courses that are meant for internal users only. Given that these rules are always meant for learners known to the organization (and not site visitors), the system now automatically skips OCI users when evaluating programs / cohorts conditions.

Forcing Users to Complete Their Profile (New Feature)

Some organizations design a custom user profile form with mandatory fields, but the form itself is optional. In other words, they didn't necessarily want to force users to fill out the form, but if users did choose to fill out the form, then the organization wants users to fill out the form in its entirety. As part of this feature, a new setting has been added to the learning environment to determine whether or not the form is required to be filled out.

New Menu for OCI Users (New Feature)

Are you worried about what OCI users might see when they come to your site? In order to standardize the experience for OCI users and not display menu items that are meant for internal staff only, the top menu for all OCI users is now the same on all systems and displays:

Course Catalogue (but only lists your courses that are available in the OCI Marketplace)
My Courses
A link that takes users back to their employer's learning environment

Tracking User Licenses (New Feature)

This new System Health check called "User Licenses" tells you exactly how many users in your system consume licenses and how many licenses you have left. As you approach your limit, the system will automatically notify System Administrators) to that you can take action before you run out of licenses.

Did you know that users who register to your learning environment via the OCI Marketplace no longer count against your user licenses? Why not take advantage of this and encourage your site visitors to log in via their employer's "powered by Dual Code" learning environment!

Showing LRX Records in the Learning History Report (New Feature)

The Learning History report, which allows learners to view their historical learning records and download their certificate of completion, now shows learning records completed via the OCI Marketplace! This means that even when a learner completes a course on another organization's learning environment, as long as that environment is "powered by Dual Code", then they can download their proof of completion via their employer's learning environment. The report also has an "Issued by" column that names the OCI Partner that issued the learning record.

Hiding Programs and Courses from Compliance Archives (Bug Fix)

The compliance archives were displaying programs and courses that were not available to users on the date/time the archive was taken. With this change, the programs and courses are no longer displayed if, at the exact date/time the archive is taken, the program/course is not available to users (e.g. hidden).

Display the Face-to-face Activity Shortname in the Calendar Invite (Bug Fix)

According to the face-to-face activity documentation, the calendar invite sent to the user is meant to use the "shortname" of the face-to-face activity. It was detected however that the invite used the general "name" of the activity itself. This change ensures that the calendar invite now uses the shortname as per the documentation.
