Bug fixes

• Programme of courses – under certain circumstances users were not showing as enrolled on courses within a programme and again under certain circumstances course restrictions were not displayed accurately.
• Advanced competencies – under certain conditions expiry dates for competencies were not being correctly calculated.
• User dashboard – The “recently accessed” block action button can overlap the block heading causing visual clutter and reduced readability.
• Talent management – The filter worked as separate filters each time, rather than building on each filter which is the standard approach for filters.
• Appraisal reviews –  in multiple choice answers, the ordering of the answer options was in some cases not always the intended order.

• User dashboard – improved load time of the user dashboard.
• General display – footer information now utilises the full width of the screen.
• Courses – Side panels within course pages now make better use of space with reduced gaps between items when the page is scrolled.
• Course catalogue – The expand/collapse all link no longer appears when using the thumbnail view as it is not required.
• Recognition – Printing a piece of recognition now displays the name of the user who sent the recognition.
• Talent management – Succession chart cards now display the “When ready” data in the same way that the Talent cards do.
• Site groups – Suspended group managers are now removed from the group manager assignment list.
• Block configuration settings have been removed and placed in the Learning Experience area of the platform. A link to this site admin area can be found in the configuration of the block.
• General maintenance of the 360 Feedback and CPD plugins, no functionality has been added or removed in this process.
