• Adjust pre-defined filters: “As a user I want pre-defined filters that I can better understand (based on customer and support feedback)”.
• Track who attended a​ course/activity incl. easily mark all or selected participants as attended.Export function to have more information: “As a course organizer or teacher I want the result of the export to also include Department, Location and Phone information on about participants, to better support scenarios where this is needed”.
• Type-ahead field for people filters: “As a user filtering courses based on Participant or Teacher, I want the input field to be a type-ahead, to not lose overview, when there are 500+ users to select from”.
• Course E-mail templates should be selected on instance level: “As super user I want to select different e-mail templates for the same action (sign-up, deregister etc.) on different instances, to have one mail sent for one scenario (instance) and another for other scenarios.”.
• Support Course Overview Web Part targeted front page scenarios: “As Wizdom we would like to offer that the Course Overview Web Part can be used other places on the solution to show of relevant courses” (Modify solution so that links in Course Overview Web Part will still work, when not located on same site as Course Site).
• Add course name to default print participants list.
• Improvements for multi time zone usage (better info on Time Zone in mail texts).
• Extensibility support for scenarios where Courses are spanning a non-continuous period. We still will not have direct OOTB support for this however have added Web hooks and can provide guidance on how this can be achieved with the addition of customization.

Special considerations​​​​

CDN Usage

​From this version and on, style sheets, templates and wizdom javascript files are loaded from our CDN.

However, for some local installations of wizdom, it may be faster to use the local blob web site instead. This can be enabled by setting the feature toggle “clientSideFeatureToggle: CDNType” to “local”.

This is done, by adding the following AppSetting to the web.config:

If the toggle is added after a wizdom upgrade, it’s important to click “Install” from the configuration site, to send the feature toggle to the sharepoint site.

Corporate News with Video Page Layout​​

The “Corporate News with Video” page layout has been changed so the video is displayed with a 100% width which means height will now be dynamic. This means large screens will see a large video, because height will be set based on the videos aspect ratio.

This is done to ensure that the video controls are always accessible.

Lightning Pages​

​Changes in the injected scripts when creating new lightning pages (the old scripts don’t work as of Wizdom 6.24).
