Release 1.6.0 - 9 March 2025
A major release number means major new features in the system, and this time around it's Capabilities Standalone. There's also a bunch of other updates for momentum and accessibility improvements to boot.
What's New! 🎊
AR-7017 Added a colour contrast checker on the Update Tenancy page
In order to support better accessibility within the system, we added a new section to the Update Tenancy page that shows the contrast between the chosen tenancy colours and the white and grey colours for text and background that appear across the system. This will provide additional guidance when choosing colours, to ensure that colour accessibility requirements are being met while still allowing the flexibility to choose appropriate brand colours.
AR-7184 Supervisor can view the user's response when performing a capability assessment
We received feedback that while supervisor's were completing a capability assessment for a user, they were constantly referring to other tabs or windows that contained the previous responses of the user in their own assessment. We agree that this information is highly relevant when completing a supervisor assessment, so we made it visible while doing the assessment itself.
AR-7167 Momentum - Form Reminders
We added an option to the Form Node to allow it to send reminders to users when the form is not completed. Up to three reminders can be added, which can be sent to the owner of the application or any other user, and can also have custom timeframes. This is ideal to add follow-up steps for a form, particular performance cycles or other time-sensitive processes.
This was already supported within momentum, but was overly complicated to setup, so we introduced this feature to allow for this relatively common case to be much more manageable.
AR-6833 Momentum Node - Update External Learning
A new momentum node that can be used to update an existing external learning with new information. It can be configured to update any field in the external learning, with field responses from the momentum application or any other static information. This can be used to add an approval step for external learning, so that the momentum is only marked as completed when an admin reviews and approves it.
Changes ✨
AR-5407 Updated Go1 to handle content access consistently
Go1 content, accessible from the catalogue as partnered content, is now using a new SSO authentication method, directing users to access Go1 in a more consistent way. This will also reduce the likelihood of duplicate accounts or missing progress for completion.
AR-7227 Improved explanation of capability tags
Capability has always had icons for Assigned, Interested, and Focussed Capabilities, but they haven't been very clearly defined within the system. The tags now have a better hover effect, that explains what the tags mean.
AR-7112 Improved colour contrast of content price
The price of content displayed on content tiles and other pages has been updated to have better contrast with the white background.
AR-7113 Improved colour contrast of chip
The Chip component that appears across the system has been updated with a slightly darker grey interactive buttons, to be inline with WCAG guidelines.
AR-7121 Improved visibility of progress tracker in the My Stats widget
The My Stats widget includes a percentage tracker of the user's progress through any pinned programs. This progress tracker now has it's own background so that it more clearly has a lighter background colour against the white of the widget.
AR-6892 Improved calendar keyboard navigation
We've audited the calendar for screenreader and keyboard navigation, and make a number of improvements on the way that the interactive elements can be navigated with a keyboard.
Bug Fixes 🐞
AR-7232 Update Capability Assessment Chart Labels
The labels of the capability assessment chart on the My Capability page have been updated to better render on small screen sizes or with longer capability names.
AR-5892 Acorn SSO auto unsuspend
The Acorn SSO authentication method will now automatically unsuspend users, making it consistent with the other SSO authentication methods.
AR-7337 Prevent duplicate assessment emails being sent to the supervisor
Under certain conditions, finishing a single capability assessment would send a notification to the supervisor that all the capabilities were assessed. This has been corrected.
AR-6993 Own user appearing in supervisor assessment dashboard
After a supervisor completes a capability self assessment, their assessment was appearing in the list of pending assessments in their own supervisor dashboard. This has been resolved.
AR-7352 Fixed a bug in the report history
The report history page now correctly doesn't show any reports that were deleted before they were run.
