Here, you can find out what’s new in our latest release. Enjoy!
6/21/2020 (v.1.2.12)
More opportunities to collect information and feedback
We added new types of questions (fields) that allows you to collect information and feedback using the questionnaires. A new hire can enter select options from a checklist, dropdown, or answer open questions.
Additionally, you can set up for each question whether the answer is required or define a placeholder.
Bulk actions with courses
The new version allows administrators to complete or delete multiple courses at once from the All courses page. Once you select a course using the checkboxes are contextual actions displayed above the list. We warn you that deleted courses can’t be restored. Use this function when you need to remove testing courses or when they distort statistics.
Improved list of assignments
1. To provide a better overview of people involved in the onboarding, we added information about who should they talk to about certain assignments. If the assignee views his courses, the column shows people who can help him with the assignment.
2. Assignments are ordered chronologically and overdue assignments are highlighted by red color.
3. To help users keep the focus on what needs to be done, we added a new filter that displays by default assignments with a deadline in the next 14 days. If users need, it can be activated.
A new way to show attachments
If you added a new attachment to the content, it displays as a widget displayed in the figure below.
This version added also a few small improvements to the user imports.
6/8/2020 (v.1.2.11)
Smooth transition from the end of course to My learning page
Once the user completed all course assignments the feedback form is displayed as the last step. To easier navigation to other courses, we added the ‘Continue Learning‘ button after the feedback submission.
Protection of personal contact information
Previously, were pending employees and candidates visible to all employees. They were able to access their profiles with personal contact information. The new version hides these profiles to regular employees. Administrators can see all users and superiors all existing or future subordinates.
New user type and permission role
For companies that don’t want employees to see all other employees, we added a new user type ‘Limited employee’. Users of this type see only people engaged in their courses, teammates, and superior. You can assign this user type manually or automatically with the users’ import.
To streamline permissions for managers, we added a new ‘Manager’ role that can be assigned to the Employee or Limited employee. Users with this role can create and edit their subordinate users and manage their courses. You can assign this role manually or automatically with the users’ import.
Automatic user archivation
When you periodically import all your active employees, you will definitely appreciate that employees missing in your import (inactive employees) will be automatically archived. Archived users don’t have access to the system and are not visible to other employees, but administrators can still unarchive them if needed.
Work with the system while user import is running
When the user import is running in your system, you can hide the progress and continue working with the system. Once the import finished you will see its result.
Improved document statistics
We received a lot of feedback on weird numbers in document (article, policy) statistics. We simplified the ‘Reach‘ widget that currently shows the total readers of the document across the organization and individual teams. You can also clearly see how many users haven’t read the document yet.
5/19/2020 (v 1.2.10)
Improved Teams Filtering
When you need to see courses or data for just a part of your organizational structure, you can find handy the improved filter that automatically selects all subordinate teams. You can easily view data for entire branches, locations, or divisions.
My learning page keeps courses position
We received a lot of feedback that it’s confusing if the course position on My learning page is changed after the user started working on it. It led to situations where onboarding courses could appear before the preboarding. Since this version, Clerbo always displays courses in the same position.
And few other small improvements and bug fixes.
5/5/2020 (v 1.2.9)
Bulk course creation improved
We have noticed that many existing Clerbo customers started creating hundreds of online courses for employees that can learn remotely from their homes during the crisis. With the recent improvements, we make bulk course creation more convenient to use and much faster.
How to assign the same course to tens or hundreds of employees? Select these employees from the list (filter them out and extend a number of items per page) and click on the “Create course” action in the top menu. Specify course details and hit the “Create” button. You can see how courses are created with our new progress indicator.
Faster list of assignments
When the user opens and closed an assignment detail from the My Assignments list, the list to tasks is not reloaded which makes the work with assignments much faster.
Other small updates
- Language updates – We received several complaints about the used language in Clerbo. We did a few updates and replaced some technical terms with more user-friendly words (e.g. ENG: SSO -> Employee Sign In). We are not done yet. Expect other improvements soon.
- Added an indication when Clerbo is loading.
- Few small bug fixes.
3/17/2020 (v. 1.2.8)
Onboarding Buddy
Buddies should help your new hires for better orientation at the company and ensure a smooth start. If your process uses onboarding buddies, you can newly assign a task to them and add them to onboarding courses.
New Users Imports
We unified the structure of user imports to provide a more comfortable way to load employees from other systems (HR systems, ATS, etc.) and automatic course creation. You can import users manually on the list of users. All users’ data to import should respect the following structure.
Increased security of personal information in courses
Protecting personal data has been always our priority. Starting this version you can mark in templates assignments that contain sensitive information. The content of these secured assignments can be viewed by trainees, reviewers, and administrators only.
HR administrator
We added a new user role “HR Administrator” that can manage all users in the system. Assign it to people from your HR team who should create new users in the system.
Request acceptance of usage terms from your new hires
Do you require new hires to accept your GDPR policy or another document before entering the system? No problem. Upload your documents to Clerbo and set up who needs to accept them and from what date.
Other improvements
- Performance improvements.
- Important assignments in courses are highlighted by red labels.
- Filter courses and templates by course type.
- Filter users by employeeID.
- Embedded videos from YouTube can be viewed in full-screen mode.
- Changed icon for our internal feedback tool ‘brouček’.
- New “Anytime” milestone for employee education course type.
3/9/2020 (v. 1.2.7)
New redesigned courses
We continue our mission to make Clerbo more attractive for your candidates and employees. This release brings newly redesigned course pages – new layout, branding option to upload the image to the background and new flow and more convenient how to navigate between the assignments (using next and previous buttons).
You can choose a different course background image for each course type. Just go to the All courses > Settings and set up the background image.
List of Teams
In addition to the visual organizational structure, we added a team’s list. This view is better for searching and filtering in teams and is much faster for large organizations. You can switch between the visual and list views using the top toggle button.
New team management
Management of positions within the team was moved from the modal window to the team’s page.
Fixed issues
- Paging on the All courses page should work correctly now.
