Your Docebo Product Updates

For those using groups to organize users in their platforms, please note that this area of the platform has gone through a complete restyling, which is now available on all platforms. The upgrade to the new groups’ management is not carried out automatically, and you will have the possibility to migrate at any time, after October 27, 2020, and before November 24, 2020. As communicated on August 25, 2020, the new version of the groups’ management does not include the possibility to manually add or remove users from automatic groups. Since the manual management of automatic groups has been highly requested by those testing the feature over the last two weeks, Docebo will make it available before November 24, 2020. Keep an eye on the Product Updates page.

For those using the Power Users App, the whole interface of the application has been updated and redesigned, in line with the newer user experience of the platform. In addition, it is now possible to assign the same Power User to more than one profile, so that he/she will inherit all of the permissions of all of the assigned profiles.

Today, Docebo releases a new Virtual Coach Beta feature aimed at improving the learning retention of the notions contained in the training material that learners complete. This learning retention strategy is based on the flashcard memorization technique and helps learners in keeping better memory of the content they learn. 

Flashcards (quizzes) are generated when any training material is completed, including those uploaded before the activation of this feature. 

The training material completed before the release of this feature will not be taken into consideration, instead. The feature will remain silent for the next month to collect data on training material completion and prepare decks of personalized quizzes based on each learners’ activity. The number of quizzes available to each learner will depend on the number of training materials completed by the learner and on the number of quizzes generated for each training material. The number of quizzes will increase over time.

A new parameter is available for those using the course advanced filters in catalogs, in the My Courses and Learning Plans page and in the Global Search (Course Catalogs tab). Use the filter_query_join parameter to set the filter connector behavior as AND or OR for dropdown Iframe course additional fields when multiple selections are applied within the same filter section.

Starting from today, the name of the Registrations and Lost passwords email sender option in the Self Registration tab on the Advanced Settings page changes to Registrations, lost passwords and background jobs email sender, to provide you with a more accurate description. This email is in fact used for communication about background jobs too.

This update includes three new features:

• Your learners can now submit assignments into courses from their mobile app too. Once they submit their assignments by adding a link, uploading a photo/video, or a document, you as the Superadmin or the course’s instructor can evaluate it and provide feedback. More details about assignment training material in the platform and info about assignments in the Go.Learn app.
• You as the Superadmin can now use the golearn://course/{course_id} deep link to directly navigate to the overview page of a classroom or webinar course too (in addition to an e-learning course) and the golearn://course/{course_id}/session/{session_id} deep link to directly navigate to the page of a session in a classroom or webinar course. More details on deep links.
• Category trees already used to organize catalogs content in the desktop platform are also applied to the catalogs on the Go.Learn mobile app. Remember that the Use category tree option (Course Catalog tab in the platform Advanced Settings) must be selected in order to display the categories tree in a catalog. Don’t worry, nothing changes for your learners and no configuration is needed from your side!

 Furthermore, a handful of minor issues have been addressed to give you a better, smoother learning experience.

For those integrating with Zendesk, starting today, a new option allows you to make the Zendesk Help button visible also to Superadmins and Power Users.

As communicated on September 29, 2020, for those who have activated Docebo Discover, Coach & Share on their platforms, please note that starting from today, the Available From filter on the All Channels page and on the page of every single channel will filter courses by enrollment date and not anymore by creation date.

In the linked APIs GET learn/v1/channels and GET /learn/v1/channels/{channel_id}/assets, the show parameter will then consider, for courses, the enrollment date instead of the creation date. Check out our API documentation for further details.

In order to improve the platform security, starting on November 24, 2020, when changing a user password via the /manage/v1/user/password API, the system will check its strength against the platform password requirements set in the platform advanced settings, even when the endpoint is called by a Superadmin.

As communicated on September 22, 2020, for those who have enabled the Use Selected Language option in the Date and Time tab of the platform Advanced Settings, please note that starting on October 20, 2020, the date format of the notifications sent via the Notification App will be in line with the date format related to the language selected by the recipient user, instead of the English language date format.

As communicated on October 6, 2020, for those using Discover, Coach & Share custom reports, starting from today, the User – Contributions custom report will be renamed User – Assets to be aligned to the name (“asset”) used throughout the platform to refer to content uploaded to the platform by users. In the report, you’ll find the word Asset instead of Contribution in every option and section. Don’t worry, nothing changes in the way this report works!

• Send an external notification

The [user_password] and the [password] shortcodes will no longer show the user password and will show the Reset Your Password link instead.
