Bulk Delete & Deactivate Users According to Status

For those of you struggling to delete or deactivate large numbers of users, you'll be pleased to hear that we've just released an update to the users page that makes this simpler than ever!

New 'Activity' tab

In many cases customers looking to delete large numbers of users are looking to delete users based off their activity status — that is, they are looking to purge those users who have either never logged in, or haven't been active over a period of time.

In light of this, we've moved the User activity report to the Users page, and create a new tab called ‘Activity’. The 'Activity' tab lists every user in the platform, and you can filter them by status; Active, Inactive, or Never logged in. For both the Active, and Inactive statues, you can also select a time period. 

Key points

  1. The User activity report has moved to the Users page as a new tab called 'Activity'
  2. The 'Activity tab' lists all users, both Learners and Trainers
  3. You can delete or deactivate users in bulk 
  4. You can filter users by status

Invite & Restrict Only Invited Learners to a Catalog!

We’ve just introduced the ability to invite new and existing learners to a catalog, with the addition of a new access setting that allows only invited learners access to the catalog.

When inviting a learner to a catalog by email, they will receive an email that includes the workspace name, the name of the catalog, and a button that links to the catalog . On clicking the link, they’ll be sent directly to the catalog where they can browse, and self-enroll into the courses they choose.

Access settings

If you’ve been hesitant to share enrollment links due to the lack of access restrictions, you’ll be pleased to know that catalogs solve that problem with a new access setting that restricts access to ‘Only invited learners’.  Now you can share courses for self-enrollment with the confidence that only the learners you choose can access them.

To restrict access to only invited learners, select the ‘Only invited learners’ option from the dropdown menu under access settings.

Customizing the invitation email

If you’re on our Premium plan, you’ll be able to customize the invitation email sent to learners invited to a catalog.

From the navigation sidebar, select the setting menu, and click ‘Customize’. Navigate to the ‘Enrollment emails’ tab, then select the ‘Catalog invitation’ option.

Self-Enrollment Confirmation Emails

Coassemble now sends a confirmation email to learners, and trainers when a learner self-enrolls into a course via an Enrollment link or Catalog.

Confirmation sent to learners

If your learners are forgetting how to get back to your workspace after self-enrolling, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve introduced a confirmation email that gets sent to a learner when they’ve self-enrolled into a course.

The confirmation email includes the name of your workspace, the name of the course, and link to the course they enrolled in.

If you want to disable enrollment emails, go to Workspace settings > Course notifications screen and switch the ‘They are enrolled in a new course’ setting to OFF.


Customizing the confirmation email

If you’re on our Premium plan you can customise the confirmation email sent to learners who self-enrol from the Customize page.

From the navigation sidebar, select the setting menu and click ‘Customize’. Navigate to the ‘Enrollment emails’ tab, then select the ‘Self-enrolled’ option.


Email sent to trainers

Included in this update is an email that is sent to trainers each time a learner self-enrols into a course via an enrollment link or catalog.

Included in this email message is the name of the learner and the course they enrolled into.

To disable this email, go to Workspace settings > Course notifications and adjust the settings for the Trainer notification that gets sent when Learners self-enroll into a course.

Choose Which Trainer Will Appear on the Course Overview

You can now choose a specific trainer to appear on a course overview for your learners to see!

Until now, it hasn’t been clear which workspace trainer will appear on the course overview, as previously you needed to add a Group trainer to a group, otherwise no trainer would display here.

Now you are able to choose a specific trainer to always appear on the course overview screen. If you want to keep using Group trainers, leave this set to automatic.

Note, if you don’t want any of your trainers to appear here, use the visibility settings to hide this page element altogether.

You can now force learners to watch an entire YouTube or Vimeo video, before a video screen is marked complete!

The addition of support for Vimeo and YouTube videos is a welcome improvement to the enforce video completion feature. Prior to this release, this functionality was limited to uploaded videos only.

Enforce video completion is only available on Premium plans. To find our more about this feature, check out the original release post here.

🧭 Sidebar Navigation Changes

We’ve just released a change to the trainer sidebar navigation to cater for the introduction of our latest feature release — Catalogs.

What’s changed?

Collapsable sidebar

The sidebar can be collapsed to provide more horizontal space. Coassemble remembers your choice, so if you close it, the next time you visit it will remain closed.

Create section

We’ve added a new Create section that contains both Courses, and Catalogs. The course page will remain the default screen, so every time you enter your Coassemble workspace, you’ll still land on the courses page.

Chat / Support button

Our chat support button has now moved into the sidebar from the bottom-right-hand-corner of the page.

Page header

We’ve made a significant cosmetic change to the page header in order to provide more vertical space on most pages in your Coassemble workspace.

Part of this change required us to move the Grade button, and the Learn button (only visible if you are enrolled in a course), to the sidebar.

Branching Scenario – Improved Visibility for Start and End Scenes

We've made some minor improvements to the Branching scenario screen to make it clearer where your start and end scenes are. 

What's changed?

Start scenes

Every Branching scenario requires a start scene. The start scene will always be the first scene in your scenario. Prior to this release it was possible to reorder the scenes which would sometimes result in your start scene being out of order. We've fixed this issue by ensuring that the first scene always remains as the start scene. 


End scenes 

Every Branching scenario requires at least one end scene, but can contain as many as you like. All scene types except for Feedback popups can be set as an end scene. 

The main focus for this release was to make sure our users don't publish a Branching scenario without setting an end scene. This is important because an end scene marks the screen as complete, and without one, learners will not be able to complete the course. 

To make it difficult to do this, we display a warning message that persists until you add your end scene. 

In addition we've made it easier to set an end scene by displaying the controls in a more prominent position. 

We've also included helpful visual aids to indicate where each end scene resides in your scenes list.

UI Improvements to the Grading Screen

We've just released an update to the grading screen to help improve performance and usability!

What's changed? 

You'll notice while using the new grading screen that it feels a lot more performant. By rebuilding the front-end, we've been able to provide noticeable performance improvements. 

In addition, we've implemented familiar controls and components that will provide our users with a more cohesive experience across the application. 

Legacy grading screen

Although there have been no functionality changes with this release, we've retained the legacy grading screen so that you can switch back to it if you choose. Simply click the 'Switch to legacy grading' button and you'll be sent back to the old experience.
