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.

4.23.2018

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• We made some adjustments to shorten the amount of time it takes for portfolio forms to save.
• For community moderators, we updated the community listing so that the communities now appear in alphabetical order.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Due to some server issues, there were some long load times for our set of stock images in Presentation accounts.  These images will load more quickly now.
• The Scoring Guide report was running very slowly when collecting large amounts of data.  Its speed has been improved.
• The Scoring Guide Unit report was not listing the students in alphabetical order.
• When a user reset their password, the system was not enforcing the password requirements.  As a result, a user could set their password to something the system would not recognize and refuse to allow them to login, even though they had just reset the password.

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• We updated the queues we employ to create screenshots, send emails, and package edTPA transfers.  This should alleviate some recent issues with these areas.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Some large images used as screenshots for projects and portfolios were not being displayed correctly on the user's dashboard.
• Users who had received some Acclaim badges were not shown the image for the badge on the dashboard.
• Administrators who ran very large Student Activity reports were unable to share them via a shared report with faculty members.
• The Scoring Guide Unit report was optimized to make it run faster, especially if the report contained a lot of data.
• There was a visual issue with the report parameters section of the Scoring Rates report.
• A change was made so that the 'Moderate Communities' button opens straight to the community if a moderator is only moderating one community.
• We also made some changes to the 'view' button when a moderator is working inside a community.

• Emails to external evaluators were not being sent for a while last week, that issue was resolved and the emails went out immediately.
• The auto-save function for radio button questions on evaluations being completed by faculty members had quit working.
• Portfolio-Integrated Evaluations which used multiple stages were not sending subsequent stages to the student's evaluations area.
