New Features and Enhancements (January 2020)

Links to the Skillsoft Percipio mobile app in the App Store and Google Play Store now display on the sign in screen and Skillsoft Platform page footers.

In the Admin menu, under the SETTINGS menu, the Notifications page is now the Engagement page. Functionality for this page is unchanged.

For more information about this page, see Engagement.

Promoted content banners are now in general release.

Use banner promotions to highlight specific content items relevant to your learners, and target these promotions to specific groups of learners using audiences. You can also add your own call-to-action and change the promotions at any time to support various objectives your organization may have.

A promoted content banner displays at the top of the home page and in the Mobile App, in place of the search banner (which moves to the top of the page). Up to five banners can display via a carousel.

For more information, see Promoted Content.

Compliance users can now access Compliance training from the Skillsoft Percipio mobile app side menu. Click the link to open your Compliance site.

Certitude assets now support translations. In Percipio Compliance admin, create a new questionnaire or assessment in the language of choice, or copy an existing one for translation.

When you assign Certitude assets that are copied for translation, all translated copies are made available with one assignment. Learners will see the copy that is translated into the language their site is set to.

For more information, see About Translations in the Compliance Knowledge  Base.

• Aspire Journeys in the Resume Learning strip

You can access Aspire Journeys from the Resume Learning strip on your Skillsoft Platform home page.



• Aspire Journeys tab on the Activity page

Use the Aspire Journeys tab on the Activity page to view a list of your accessed Aspire Journey courses and their completion status.

• Progress and completion status

You can now view and track your progress for your Aspire Journey on both the journey and the track level. When all tracks are complete, the dashboard displays 100% on the progress indicator.

The Aspire Journeys dashboard displays the overall completion status of the journey as you complete each track.



The Aspire Journeys track page displays your overall progress of each track as you complete the learning path.



• Return to Track link

A new Return to Track link displays when you launch a page from an asset within a journey. The link returns you to your previous track page.

If your organization uses Skillsoft Platform login names and passwords instead of corporate credentials to sign into the platform, you can update or change your email address on your Account Information page.

For more information, see My Settings.

Search results are now further optimized to bring you better, more targeted results.

In an ongoing effort to ensure a positive user experience, when you Replace an Existing SCORM or AICC Package, the platform now maintains only the most recently-uploaded package files. Previous versions of these files are cleaned up from the server to free up more storage space.

We recommend you download a copy of the current package files prior to replacing them.

Future enhancement

In an upcoming release, we'll continue data clean up for hosted custom content packages. We will remove any previously-versioned package files, so none of the older content is included in your storage usage calculations.

On the Engagement page, the Organization Name setting is now set to ON for all Skillsoft Percipio organizations.

When this setting is on, your organization's name replaces the Skillsoft Platform's in all Skillsoft Platform-generated email subject lines, body, and From: fields. It also can increase learner engagement by providing better context in emails from the platform.

For more information, see Organization Name.

When you open an .mp3 or .mp4 video file, the video plays directly inside of the platform instead of downloading to your machine. All other audio and video files download to your machine, but now a message informs you that your content was downloaded.

For more information about what file types are supported, see Single file types.

When managing your team automations, you can now pause a team automation rule instead of deleting it.

For more information, see Pause a Team Automation Rule.

When creating or updating user profiles, the platform now supports the @ character in the Login Name field.

For more information about acceptable characters in login names, see the User Profile Fields table on the Create a New User page.

You can access Aspire Journeys from the Resume Learning strip on your Skillsoft Percipio mobile app home screen.

The My Assignments screen now displays a list of your assignments with the assignment title, description, completion status, and date. Click an assignment to view its content.

For more information, see Assignments.

The Channel screen includes a banner background that displays the channel title, description, Expertise and Technology selection (if available), Like button, and Action menu.

If your organization uses Skillsoft Platform login names and passwords instead of corporate credentials to sign into the platform, you can update or change your email address on your Settings screen.

For more information, see Settings.

Custom content now plays directly in the Skillsoft Percipio mobile app and no longer requires you to download files to your device.
