NEW FEATURES
Percipio Admin
A Skillsoft Aspire Journey is a sequenced set of instruction that learners can follow to achieve their career aspirations. With this release, you now have the ability to create your own custom journeys specific to your company needs to upskill or reskill your workforce.
For more information, see Custom Journey Overview.
You can choose to send a series of up to six welcome emails to all new and updated users. With this release, you can now configure the welcome email series, choosing a custom subject line, header, preheader, and introductory text for each of the six emails.
For more information, see Customize Welcome and Reminder Emails.
The new multi-site management option supports those companies that need to have multiple independent Percipio sites (for things like different branding or user segregation) with the ability to run aggregate license reports across sites. All independent sites are grouped into one domain where there is a company domain administrator, who has the permission to create new sites, appropriate licenses across sites, and run aggregate license consumption reports.
If you are interested in enabling this feature on your sites, contact your account team or Skillsoft support.
For more information, see Multi-site Management.
