Presentation   2017   July

July

 

At Foliotek, we work hard to provide the best assessment and portfolio software possible.  To do that, we make changes every week.  Sometimes we fix things that don't work, other times we release new features to improve your experience.  Below you will find a description of the changes we have made this month.

 

The new dashboard, that became available in December 2016, is now the default dashboard for new users.  If you are currently using the Legacy dashboard, you will not see any change in your account.

Dashboard

The option to use the new dashboard or the Legacy dashboard is still available using the dashboard preference dropdown in the Account Settings area.  If you have any questions about the new dashboard, call our support team at 888.365.4639, option 2.
