Presentation   2019   March

March

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.

 

3.25.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Nothing new to report this week...

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • Some students were having difficulty getting to Foliotek from Blackboard if they had never made the connection from Blackboard to their Foliotek account.
  • If a user creates a project and gives it a name longer than 256 characters, they will now see a warning telling them to shorten the project name.
  • In the Foliotek Assessment Files storage area, if a user attempted to rename the file twice during uploading, the name of the file would disappear.  The file would be successfully uploaded to the Files area.

What we're working on

Watch for these items to be released in the next few weeks:

  • We are working on improvements to the way the ID page works on mobile devices.

 

If you have questions or want more information about anything we released this week, call our support team at 888.365.4639 and select option 2.

 

3.18.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Nothing new to report this week...

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • The button to submit work from the My Assessments page in presentation was not working.
  • When a user attempted to add a project to a community from the manage communities page in their account, a project with a really long name would cause the dropdown box to extend past the edge of the modal.  The names will now be truncated to fit in the dropdown.
  • The Help button in projects was not working.  It will now open the project tutorial and guide users on how to create a project.

3.11.2019

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Scoring Guide and Scoring Guide Unit reports will now display a column showing which portfolio each student uses.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • Some users were having difficulty logging in when an administrator forced a profile update on the user's account.
  • Faculty members with administrative permissions to manage students and faculty were seeing student accounts that had been converted to faculty accounts in both the student and faculty search.  These accounts should only show up in the faculty search.
  • We improved the status message for edTPA users who attempted to schedule a transfer while a previous transfer was still in progress.

  • We fixed our integration with Google.  Users can once again connect their Foliotek accounts to their Google accounts. This affected signing in to Foliotek or retrieving files from Google Drive in a Project or using the Portfolio editor Gizmo.

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

  • Sorry, nothing new right now.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

  • The message shown to users who attempt to login to an account that has been removed from Foliotek has been updated to better indicate the issue.

Removed User Message

  • Faculty members with administrative permissions to manage students and faculty were seeing student accounts that had been converted to faculty accounts in both the student and faculty search.  These accounts should only show up in the faculty search.
  • A user that was converted to a community moderator was not able to moderate the community.  The proper permissions will now be added to the account to allow them to access the moderator tools.
  • Moderators will now be able to share a portfolio in a community from inside the portfolio editor.
  • A recent Firefox update made it possible to click on document files when adding an image as a background to the ID page.  An adjustment was made to prevent document files from being selected here.
