This release includes a change to the date format in Skillport Administrator (including Advanced Compliance features). Dates now display using the long form ISO-8601 format (YYYY-MMM-DD) to make the year, month and date more discernible.
There are areas in the Skillport 8 Administrator where the date format will not be updated:
Reporting is not affected and continues to output in YYYY-MM-DD (all numeric) format.
Batch inputs/outputs (e.g. Batch User Upload) are not affected.
APIs including Skillsoft’s Batch Command Set (BCS) and Open Learning Services Architecture (OLSA) services are not affected.
