Product releases

During the past months, we’ve been working on implementing public API to provide a better way of integration with Choo i Skyen. REST API currently is available for solving a need of automatic members creation/synchronization. The new solution is more stable and convenient, as well as easier to use. If you’re interested in, talk to us to get more details. Please note the feature requires an additional fee for maintenance.

In case your level leaders struggle with choosing the correct invoice issuer for courses they create from My Page, now you’re able to set up a connection between a level and an issuer to solve this. Having this functionality set up, once the level leader will create a new course on My Page, the invoice issuer will be automatically chosen once the level for the course is chosen. If the connection is not set up, course leaders are still able to choose the invoice issuer from the list of all issuers created in your organization.

The connection is not shown in the interface, so let us know if you’re interested. Upon your request, we’ll set up a connection from our side, and all new levels you’d create will automatically have an issuer connected. The connection will be decided by the following logic:

• We set up a default invoice issuer for the organization. It is used once you create a new “mother” level. 
• If you create a nested level, the issuer will be the same as for the “mother” level.

A new ability is added to the course certificate functionality of Choo i Skyen. Now it’s possible to add custom short text to the course certificate issued once a participant finishes up the course/activity. The text should not be long – it’s limited by the number of symbols. Once you fill it in, the system will use it in the certificate pdf. Functionality is available both for course leaders on My Page, and Super Admins in Back Office.

How to use:

• Go to the course/activity page, and turn on the setting “Generate course certificate”.
• Put in the text to the text box that is shown, and save changes. 
• Once you change the status of the course participant to “Finished”, the system will generate the course certificate pdf that will include the text you’ve just filled in.

A new premium feature is released – now course leaders and Super Admins are able to have more flexibility in defining who from the course participants should be able to see the attachments added to the course. This update includes the following:

• An ability to add course attachments that should be shown to course participants with “Approved” status. 
• An ability to share course documents with people who have finished the course (course participants with “Finished” status).

How to use once the feature is turned on:

• Go to the course description page/step, either on My Page or inside Back-Office.
• Upload a new document, and choose the type of the document near by. You may choose from the following options: “For all” (then it’ll be working in the same way as today – the document will be publicly available for all people), “For approved participants”, “For finished participants”, “For approved and finished participants”.

Each ability may be turned on separately. Talk to us to get more information.

New functionality is added on My Page for course leaders – ability to see and/or manage activity attachments. The functionality is the same as in the Back-Office – course leader is able to add documents that are published on the activity page near its description. Limitation regarding file format or size stays the same.

• Course Super Admin, Admin, or Editor is able to see the list of attachments uploaded by other leaders/Back-Office Admins, as well as download or delete them, and add new
• Course Contributor is able to view the list of attachments and download them

People will be able to search inside the list of activities, using a search by activity name, or activity date(s).

• To search by a name, a person will be able to start typing the name of the activity in the search box. System will automatically filter the list of activities, showing up those activities that correspond to the search. If no activity is found, the system will show up a separate message about that. The person will always have an ability to clean up the search parameters to see the full list of activities back.
• To search by dates, a person will be able to define the start and end dates in the calendar, to see all activities that have at least one date within the chosen period. If no activity matches the search parameters, a separate message will be shown. The person will always have the ability to clean up the search parameters to see the full list of activities back.
