UI Improvements πŸ’ͺ

This weekend, our Content team updated all our Recommended Advanced paths by adding the word "Advanced" to the name. Previously, they would only show the language and/or technology. We hope this makes finding the right content for your learners even easier!

New Assignments Feature & Content Type πŸŽ‰

Assignments Table

This week, we released the Admin's Assignments Table. This new view provides Training Admins with better visibility of their active training assignments. The Assignments table displays:

  • Your assignments by name

  • If they are currently active

  • Due date (if applicable)

  • Number of users by status (Complete, In Progress or Not Started)

  • Percentage of users by status (Complete, In Progress or Not Started)

Coding Challenges

We've also added a new lesson type to the Security Journey Platform. They are called "Coding Challenges." This lesson type can be added to path or tournaments. These are hands-on and are within an integrated development environment. These are language specific.

Platform Updates & New Features 🚨

We have several new features that were rolled out this week!
​

Duration Based Assignments

We now allow you to specify how many days a learner has to complete an assignment vs. only being able to choose a strict start/end date.
​

Restricted Paths

You now have the ability to "restrict" a path to an assignment. This means that a path would only be visible to a learner if it was assigned to them. If restricted, the enabled path will not show up in the map or list view as an available option when choosing a path. For more information check out this article.
​

User Properties in Reporting

We've gone ahead and updated the Platform reports to include ALL available user properties as filters. This applies to properties created via SSO and to customers who manually added user properties in their user profile.
