- Below are the highlights of the recent updates to the REPORTER production environment, a full list and additional details can be seen here.
- Corrected an issue causing generic error messages to appear on the home page for some users
- Course / Instance
- Course Admins now have access to Create LMS Posts from within their instance. This means that registrants who registered prior to the instance being connected to Moodle can now be manually connected by the Course Admin. Click here to see the help documentation for this new option.
- Fixed an issue with instance creation that allowed users to bypass required payment functions in the cart
- Retroactively corrected instances set to have certificate programs enrollment as a restriction, but did not have a specific program selected.
- Updated Webinar instances to allow for more flexibility with webinar links. The link will no longer go out with the Registration Confirmation email but will be available in REPORTER via the âGo to Webinarâ button under Upcoming Courses.
