Sometimes you need a little more than just knowing your people have viewed a piece of training.

For Document and URL lessons, we've added the ability to turn on a system-wide declaration. When your users complete these types of lessons, they'll be asked to declare that they have read and understood the content.

You can turn this on/off for all Document Lessons and URL Lessons at one flick of a switch!

Lesson Completion Declarations

Powerful insights come from having all your data in one place. This is particularly true for L&D, where the goal is to drive efficiency and performance across your entire organisation.

We're building a Data Extraction API so you can pull Perform reporting data out of Kallidus and into your own centralized data store or BI tool of choice. From there, you can merge Kallidus data with data from other sources to generate multidimensional insights that will prove and improve the value of your L&D programmes.

We'll be enhancing our Skills Assignment report to give you powerful insight on skill gaps across your organisation.

Reporting on Skill gaps

Based on your feedback, we understand that users do not always need to see all available fields within a report - particularly custom fields. Additionally, we also know that some fields hold sensitive data that should not be over-shared. 

We are currently exploring solutions to enable the excluding/hiding of specific fields within a report on role/user/view basis.

Managing sensitive fields

Learners can add extra skills to their dashboard - whether it's something they want to learn or already know. They can even set a target skill level to work towards.

We are currently researching where to take skills in Perform.  We have a plan on where to go in terms of your skills landscape and how skill attaintment can be linked to business outcomes.  However, we are really keen to hear in which direction you think we should go and how Perform can help you take your business to the next level.

Please contact Mike Smithers (Product Manager) and we can arrange some time to chat:  mike.smithers@kalidus.com

Bulk manage invited users via People Directory

With our legacy Reporting solution, user access to BusinessObjects was dynamically managed via Learn LMS Roles and ACL permissions.

We'll soon be rolling out a similar functionality for our current Reporting solution, ensuring users are given access to Power BI without requiring manual intervention. 

Dynamic access to Reporting

We've added a new option under Platform Settings to hide inactive users in search results from Managers and Employees. This helps ensure inactive users are less discoverable by non-Admins. Learn more 

Deprioritize or hide inactive users from search

In Learn, Users or their managers can submit a notification request when they want to attend an event that is either not currently scheduled or doesn’t have a suitable date. This lets Learn administrators know there’s interest in a particular lesson - even if no sessions are currently available.

The Future Event Dates Notification report brings all these requests into one place to help administrators track and respond to this demand. It provides visibility over how many learners are waiting, what they’re waiting for, and how well the current event schedule is meeting demand.

Reviewing this report regularly helps you:

We recently added the optional ability for members of a Learn group to be visible to the group's administrator in Perform. This gives the Learn group administrator an extended reach in Perform. We will soon update our Reporting security model to reflect this expanded visibility in Perform reports as well. 

Expanded Perform visibility in Reporting

We will be adding the option to have OTS refresher mode only show the refresher mode dialogue if a user has completed the course in question before.

This will affect any second completion of the course, whether the course is a part of continuous accreditation or not. This option would suit setups where refresher behaviour is desirable but going through the full course on the first completion is desired to be mandatory.

Existing users will not be affected without action as this will be an entirely opt-in behaviour. 

Update to OTS course refresher mode

A new section within the review form which can be added.  This section enables both the reviewer and reviewee to record actions at the end of the review. 

It also includes generative AI to help suggest actions based on the review outcomes.

We're making several highly requested improvements to Sapling's signature request documents. 

Document Enhancements

Based on your feedback, we understand that some customers need to export the specific report they've built - instead of the underlying dataset as currently available via SFTP. Additionally, we also know that the in-app Power BI export functionality is highly limited for large reports exceeding 150,000 rows. 

We are currently exploring solutions to enable the exporting of large reports as CSVs on a schedule, via email and/or SFTP.

Extracting large reports on a schedule

We've added the ability to show document descriptions in the notification to all assignees. This improves your employee onboarding experience by providing clarity on the contents of each document - and you can also use it to include key instructions! Learn more

Currently, giving users access to a specific report within Reporting requires you to multi-select individual users from a long list. To help reduce this manual effort, we'll be adding the ability to select users by Learn group. This not only allows you to quickly give a group of users access to the report, it also allows you to dynamically manage access to the report using Group Rules.

This data can be useful to L&D teams to understand how much time is dedicated to learning, and how efficient their offering is in terms of delivery. In this report, you can see both actual time spent in eLearning and live events, plus estimated durations set at the Lesson level. 

Note that time spent viewing learning while in Review mode, is not tracked.
