New Features and Enhancements (February 2020)

The Expertise filter now has an information icon next to it, to provide further clarity when using it during a search.

Books are tagged as Everyone and are only included in filtered Expertise results if you select Everyone as one of your filters. Channels do not have an explicit Expertise level, and are included in filtered results regardless of the Expertise filter selection.

For more information about the Expertise filter, see Filtering search results.

You can now sort your results by Best Match or Newest.

Use Best Match to view the closest results based on your entered search terms, and use Newest to see the most recently-released content that matches your entered search terms.

For more information, see Filtering search results.

On the Create Assignment and Edit Assignment pages, a new button, Notify users, is available. Click it to open the email customization page, where you can edit the contents of the assignment's notification email for your learners.

For procedures, see Create a New Assignment.

You can now watch Live Events anywhere using the Percipio mobile app.

To access a Live Event, tap Search and enter Live Events. Open the Live Events channel, then click the Live Event you want to watch.

If you do not know your email ID or login name, and your organization has enabled it, you can view information for a support contact within your organization.

You may now be assigned single videos in your assignments. When the video displays in your assignment list, when you click it, the video opens in a player, but no course table of contents displays; it is just the video and the playback controls.

For more information, see Assignments.

You can now upload and store your HTML files and .zip packages containing web site files in Percipio.

For more information, see Supported web file types.

You can now search for assignments by title on the Assignments page.

For procedures, see Edit an Assignment or Copy an Assignment

If you do not access downloaded content for ten or more days, the content expires on your device. This notification is on your Available Offline page, with the option to download the asset again, or remove it from the page.

You can also see any download failures on this page, with the option to retry the download, or remove it.

When first signing into the Percipio mobile app, the site name page provides more context and clearer definitions around what a site name is and where to find it.

For a seamless and smooth reading experience, when reading ebooks from the Percipio mobile app, we've added smooth page swipe gestures and eliminated loading between book sections.

In an ongoing effort to ensure a positive user experience, when you replace an existing SCORM or AICC package, Percipio now deletes the older version of the .zip file from the server to free up storage space.

Three reports now have columns that give you insights into the Digital Badges within your organization.

• In the Learner Activity report, the Badge Earned column displays the date a learner earned a course's Digital Badge.

For more information, see the CSV field values table on the Download a CSV File page.

The Instance Management page is redesigned with more intuitive toggles instead of check boxes (excepting the Course completion score).
