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.

 

10.29.2018

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• Administrators now have the ability to change the Category image.
• Updates were made to increase the security of Foliotek Presentation.  The password retrieval and email address change systems were updated.

• We customized some error messages when users attempted to access an area of Foliotek Presentation that they did not have permission to access.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• If an activity that contained a Practice link was duplicated, the Practice link would not have the correct dimensions in the new activity.
• Administrators can now show or hide duplicated Activity Groups.
• The scroll bar inside activities can now be clicked and dragged to move up and down in the activity.
• The GRIT Gauge layout changed which caused some issues with scrolling and continuing work on GRIT Gauge activities.
• Some users have been able to submit quizzes in Canvas without completing all of the questions, a change has been posted to catch this and not allow submission.
• We updated our LTI system to find users even when they pass the wrong role from their CMS.
• If a user changed the layout of a portfolio in the Design tab, the preview would show default pages rather than the user's actual pages.  It will now show the user's actual pages.
• On mobile devices, the ID page projects area could display the project information incorrectly and the back button wouldn't take the viewer back to the list of projects.
• When editing an ID page, if the user opened the badges or projects area and immediately closed it, the edit buttons for badges and projects would remain visible.
• The Tags and Reflections areas weren't being displayed properly in Projects.

What we're working on

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

• Still working on the ability to better handle large image files uploaded by users.

10.22.2018

What's new

We released some new features and upgrades this week:

• Sorry...nothing new this week.

What we fixed

These issues were fixed this past week:

• Our inline document screenshot server was not taking screenshots of newly uploaded documents.  The fix for this is not necessarily retroactive.  If you come across an inline document that doesn't have a screenshot, please remove the document and re-upload it.  If you see either of these messages on an inline document in a portfolio, you need to remove and re-add the document.

• If an administrator attempted to preview an evaluation that had been set up, the preveiw window was very small.
• The arrow buttons for the next page of evaluations were incorrect when an administrator was viewing a list of evaluations.
• The 'merge changes' button in the Merge pop-up box inside the Portfolio editor was not working.
• Attempting to reorder pages in a Portfolio was not working.
• A user's dashboard was not showing the complete ID page preview image.
• If someone left feedback on a user's ID page, there was no indicator that the message was being sent.  Now a 'loading' spinner appears to reassure the viewer that something is happening.
