The Learning Event Catalog TreeGrids can now be loaded ‘As Needed’.
Only the top level of Folder and Learning Events are loaded initially. As a Manager drills down into the TreeGrid, each new level is populated dynamically using Ajax and Web Services. This allows Managers to manipulate very large Learning Event catalogs with thousands of folders and tens of thousands of Learning Events.
Manager > Configuration > General Options
- Manager Learning Event Catalog TreeGrids can now be loaded ‘Full’ or ‘As Needed’. ‘Full’ is the standard and default behavior. It fully loads the TreeGrid with all folder and LE nodes when the page is loaded. When expanding a folder the response is immediate. If you select the ‘As Needed’, the TreeGrid will only load one level of folders and LE at a time. The folder expansion time is slower, but barely noticeable.
Manager > Catalog > LE Details
- Accumulate Duration while Incomplete checkbox is now available for non-SCORM LE. This will cause the duration to be accumulated for each viewing. The duration will continue to accumulate until the LE is marked as ‘Completed’.
Learner > Transcript
- Private Logo branding is available for all the Learner Reports: Transcripts; Score Details and Attempt History
PDF Templates & Tokens
- [LE:SCORE] and [REF:SCORE] tokens have been added to allow score display as a decimal value.
