Introduction of ‘Purchases’ Widget on User Profile Description: Purchases widget is currently not available on user profile. With this release we are introducing a purchases widget on user profiles. This widget will give admins visibility into all purchases made by the user. In addition to this, admins will also be able to manually add refund details against individual purchase and report on it. System & UI Changes: 1. The new purchases widget is visible on user profile only when e-commerce is configured in the portal.

Purchase Report: Addition of Refund Details Description: With the newly added purchase widget in the user profile, refund information is available if entered against a purchase.

Three new columns related to refund information, highlighted in the screenshot below are available on the purchase report.
Certification Transcript Report Enhancement Description: New columns have been added to the certification data set to report on credits earned by learners. This will help with the use case where a manager wants to run a report to see how an employee is doing towards earning their certification. Existing certification report does provide the status of each requirement (complete/incomplete) but it does not allow them to see how many credits have been earned so far. We have added two new columns – ‘Requirement Credits' and ‘Requirement Credits Earned’ to the list of columns on the user certification transcript report to enable the above use case. System & UI Changes: 1. Highlighted in the screenshot below are two new columns - ‘Requirement Credits' and ‘Requirement Credits Earned’.
Catalog & Course Information Report Enhancement Description: Currently, when you report on ILT module sessions, and choose to pick the date/time for the session, the catalog and course information report will display multiple line items for a single session if the session is scheduled of multiple time slots. We have introduced three new columns – session type, first session date/time and session end date/time which will allow you to choose if you want to pull all session time slots or just the first one in your report. System & UI Changes: 1. Three new columns are available as highlighted below.
Email Notification Enhancement: Addition of Hours Option Description: Administrators will now be able to create/update email notification scheduled to be triggered ‘hours’ before the event. This new addition will come handy when you want to automate notification to learners about ILT sessions just a couple of hours before the session. System & UI Changes: 1. A new ‘Hour(s)’ option is now available under email notification -> properties. You can choose to configure the notification to be send certain hours before or after the session.
Quiz Module: Question Limit Enhancement Description: Quiz module previously had a limit of 50 questions, which has now been updated to 1000 questions. This will help admins to create quizzes without having to worry about the previous 50 questions limit.
Instructor Led Training: ‘Add User’ to Waitlist Description: Administrators can now directly add users to an ILT session’s waitlist. In the system today, there is no provision for admin to add users directly to a waiting list other than by adding them to the enrolled list and then demoting them to the waiting list. Additionally, there is no way for admins to add learners to a waiting list once the roster is full other than having to log in to each learner account and enrolling them one by one. System & UI Changes: A new ‘Add User(s)' button is available under the waitlist. This option is visible to admin’s and users with ILT manager role and instructors other than the ones added in limited access instructor section for a session. The video below shows the new configuration.
Instructor Led Training: Session Type Enhancement Description: Once an admin creates an ILT session of any type and saves the session, the type field will become non-editable. If you are required to change the type of session, then you can use the existing duplicate session functionality to clone the session and make the required changes. System & UI Changes: The video below takes you through the new functionality.
Instructor Led Training: Private Session Setting Description: A new configuration setting is introduced at the ILT session which will provide admins with the ability to create ‘private’ sessions within an ILT module. This setting is introduced keeping in mind the situation where the trainer wants to conduct training sessions for specific audience and not open to everyone. System & UI Changes: 1. A new config setting called ‘Private’ is available under ILT session -> Properties. 2. The setting has two values – Yes or No, No being the default value. 3. If configured as 'Yes', the ILT session would not be visible under catalog and enrollment to the session can only be managed by users who have access to the session roster. 4. If configured as 'No', the session will function as it does today. 5. ILT module level setting like ‘Standalone Enrollment’ will overwrite this setting. This means if at the ILT module level, standalone enrollment setting is set to yes and at the ILT session level, private configuration is set to yes then the module level setting will supersede and the session will be available for enrollment under catalog. 6. Video for configuration setting 7. Video showing what learner will see once the setting is turned on
Custom Data Set: Permission Management Description: In the system today, if you have ad-hoc custom data sets there is no way to restrict the view of custom reports for certain users or groups. To overcome this issue, we are introducing a new custom reporting permission which will dynamically appear in reporting permissions if you have custom data sets for your portal. Using this permission, you can manage which users have access to these reports. System & UI Changes: 1. Your Inquisiq LMS portal will dynamically show the custom report permission if you have custom reports for your organization. You can choose to configure a role’s access to custom reports.
2. Once configured users with access to custom report will be able to see the custom report under reporting as shown below.

b. Any user who were not part of the original roster but had attended the session, the system will notify you about them and you can action their attendance.
GoTo Web Meeting: Authentication Workflow Update Description: GoToWebinar, GoToMeeting, GoToTraining – all three web meeting integrations uses an authentication workflow that has been deprecated by the provider. To support the new changes, we have made updates to our existing integration and now support OAuth 2.0 authentication flow. System & UI changes: 1. If you currently do not have any GoTo web meeting set-up in your portal, you do not have to worry. You will only see the set-up with new authentication, as shown in the screen below.

This link has detailed instructions for creating an app. You will receive an application id and secret key which needs to be entered in Inquisiq web meeting configuration. You will also find your portals redirect URI in the info section highlighted below. The redirect URI needs to be entered in GoTo app creation process.
