View Details - Resend Email

The email field that is used for determining the recipient address when sending out password reset emails can now be set in a configuration option.

Data Collection - Default Grid View for Forms / Skill Scans to Complete

The list view can be displayed by clicking the List View button at the top-right.

Assessor Dashboard - New Learners Widget

The assessor dashboard now includes a New Learners widget which shows how many learners have been added to the assessor's caseload recently. The dropdown box at the top-right of the widget can be used to show new learners in the last week, in the last month or since a date that the user can specify.

Clicking the date will show a list of the relevant learners.

Web User Editor - Reset Password

The Web User Editor now includes a Reset Password button on each user's account which will email the user a password reset link.

When the button is clicked, you will be asked to confirm the email address that the reset link will be sent to.

When the Confirm button is clicked, the password reset link will be emailed to the user.

The body of the email that is sent out is defined by the existing password recovery configuration option:

  2. Click the System Configuration button.

  3. Go to Admin on the left (under the Maytas Hub Online header).

  4. Locate the General section on the right.

  6. Click Save.

Learner Journey Updates

Submitted Evidence

When evidence has been submitted against a learner's module and the required amount of evidence has been met, the module's status in the Learner Journey will now show as Submitted. Previously, this would show as Outstanding until the submission had been verified by an assessor, but this status now only used if the required evidence for the module has not been met.

Journey Items Past Planned End Date

A configuration option is available which allows the Learner Journey to show items that occurred after a learner's planned end date. When the config is enabled, the latest date the Learner Journey will show up to depends on several factors:

To set the config:

  1. Go to Settings on the sidebar.

  2. Click the System Configuration button.

  3. Go to Learner Login on the left (under the Maytas Hub Online header).

  4. Locate the General section on the right.

  5. Ensure the box is ticked for the permission Extend the Learner Journey timeline past POT end date.

  6. Click Save.

Data Collection - Form Information on Email

When a user is notified by email that they have a data collection form to complete, the email can now include the name of the form. This is done by including the {{FORMID}} tag in the email body configuration:

  1. Go to Settings on the sidebar.

  2. Click the System Configuration button.

  3. Go to Assessor Login on the left (under the Maytas Hub Online header).

  4. Locate the Data Collection section on the right.

  5. Ensure the boxes are ticked for the following permissions:

    • Body of the email sent to existing users with a data collection form to fill out

    • Subject of the email sent to those with a data collection form to fill out

  6. Edit the email body and subject as needed so that they include the {{FORMID}} tag, e.g.:

    You are required to complete the form {{FORMID}}.

    The tag will retrieve the form's name from the relevant lookup. Note that a lower case {{formid}} will also work.

  7. Click Save.

Re-Captcha on Application Forms

Re-captcha can be enabled on application forms to prevent spamming and malicious usage.

Once enabled, application forms will have a captcha checkbox on the last page that prevents users from submitting until the captcha is verified.
