25 September 2024 – Enhancing Role Visibility

🪴[UPDATES]

Make it easier to identify staff or teachers by their roles

We’ve made it easier to identify staff or teachers by their roles. Now, you can quickly recognize staff based on their function and easily understand the specific roles certain teachers hold (like principal, academic advisor, etc.). With three key updates, here’s what you can now do or see:

• In the Administration Console, an administrator can easily assign a role to a user when creating an account (staff only) or when editing it (teachers and staff).
• In the Administration Console, if the role does not exist, an administrator can create a new role title. This action can be performed when creating a profile or in the “Manage My Institution” menu, under the “Role Management” tab.

• In the Directory, the role will be visible to everyone on the user profiles.

These initial updates mark the first phase of our role management project. The next phase will allow users to be searched by their role, instead of by role groups.

A big thank you to the City of Paris for funding this update.

Data management : When a user changes institutions or is transferred within the console, they will be automatically removed from both manual and automatic associations.

🐜[PATCHES]

Calendar : We’ve implemented several improvements to speed up response times.

Console d’administration :

• We enhanced the reliability of connector creation.
• To simplify tab navigation, we’ve added the project icon to browser tabs.

Blog

• When editing a post awaiting approval, the “Save” button has been renamed to “Draft” to make its purpose clearer.
• User profiles can no longer be accessed from the reactions display modal.
• To enhance the user experience, the reactions menu now opens when you click on it rather than when you hover over it.

New editor

• All YouTube links can now be used to embed videos into content.
• Padlet integration is working again.
• The embed or iframe integration of metascore animations (from the Philharmonie de Paris website) has also been restored.

Please note: These updates are being rolled out gradually across platforms. The availability of these features depends on your subscription type.
