      SparkLearn® 3.4 Release Notes

      September 2022

      Overview

      The SparkLearn® 3.4 release has updated tools for automating group memberships as well as updates to our localization processes.

      Details

      • Group membership automation – This update makes it easier to assign users to pre-existing groups. In a previous release (3.2), we introduced the ability to use fields from SSO to define groups in SparkLearn. With this release, we are adding the ability to use pre-existing SAML groups already within an SSO integration.
        • Any attribute provided via your SSO identity provider can be used to assign users to groups (i.e., job role or region).
        • Managed Groups (membership is determined by SSO) and users who are added or removed from a group manually will not be affected by automated conditions.
      • Localization updates – We have made some updates to our localization process to make it easier for content managers.

      Enhancements and Bug Fixes

      Web App

      • Adds a feature, which enables content managers to assign users to groups automatically
      • Updated interface with more es-MX localizations
      • Fixes an issue related to the author field for translated content
      • Fixes an issue when the "Add Image" button would not be visible when adding to cards and article paragraphs

      Mobile App

      • Performance improvements and bug fixes

      • Fixes an issue when podcast episodes would repeat

      Known Issues / Limitations

      Web App

      • When the learner creates an article and tries to attach a table, it says that they don't have permission, but an empty table is created in an article
      • Group automation may unexpectedly add users to groups when a content manager adds a rule with empty conditions
      • The total number of articles in a library section on a dashboard page doesn't match with the total number of articles in the content section
      • A user’s group membership may be evaluated twice, causing a duplicated xAPI statement
      • Podcast report page incorrectly shows a "Complete" tab

      Mobile App

      • The app may crash when resumed from running in the background for a long time
      • Only up to 50 bookmarks will show
      • Large accessibility text sizes may cause overlapping text

      iOS-specific

      • A podcast cannot be replayed immediately after it finishes (workaround: exit and return to the podcast to restart the playback)

      Android-specific

      • When returning to the Group detail screen after viewing content, it frequently jumps to the top of the view
