New features & Improvements
- The team page has an updated look, separating tasks into completed, upcoming and overdue sections for clarity.
- As an educator, I can now set a maximum size for a team under Experience Settings > Participants.
- Setting teams to be “Individual” now changes the UI for creating teams, starting projects, applying to projects and the team page itself in some minor ways to reflect that no other team members exist.
- Maximum pending applications per learner: As an educator, I can limit the number of pending applications a learner can be part of at a time. This is primarily a PPD use case, allowing programs to prevent learners from "over-applying" to projects and inundating employers with applications that can't all be accepted.
- A company profile now has a representation field to capture tags mostly related to diversity and inclusion, including Women-Owned, Black-Owned, Public Benefit Corporation, and many others. We can add tags as needed. This is also an optional field in the project wizard's company step.
- Scale improvement for multiple choice questions: a user creating a survey can now copy-paste a list from another source into the option field of a multiple choice question and it will automatically create up to 200 options from that list.
- First step of sign up wizard shortened and visually improved for all users. (No changes to required fields.)
- Emails about project closure in the marketplace have been updated to further clarify there is no impact on applications or teams.
- In the match request wizard, when selecting a project or experience from the dropdown you can now see a date related to the content (close date, for experiences; updated date, for projects) to help you distinguish between similarly-named items,
- When an existing user has a membership created via an import, they now receive a distinct notification email alerting them of this.
- As an educator, when I allow teams or projects to set the dates in my experience, I can now set date ranges that teams or projects must conform to. This extends on the existing “maximum start date” and “maximum end date” feature to allow educators to provide minimum dates as well.
- As an educator with admin access, I need to be able to differentiate between my pending match requests and the portals pending match requests. A user by default sees only their experiences' match requests and can filter to view all portal match requests if they choose.
- As a learner, I shouldn't have the worklog sidebar component until kickoff is complete for the current team
- Add matches count column to Portal > Companies table.
- Tasks on the team page that are for employers are now labelled to make it clear.
- Work log entries should be sorted by Date of work by default
- "User" filter on work log should be inline on the page, not in the advanced filters modal.
- As a learner, if the experience assignment type is self-assign, the button on the match page should say 'Join project' rather than 'Start'.
