Release Notes - September 2024

New Features:

Single Sign On (SSO):

Clui now supports Single Sign-On (SSO) functionality, providing enhanced security, improved user experience, and simplified management for accessing multiple applications with one login.

Key Benefits of SSO:

• Enhanced Security: SSO reduces the number of passwords users need to manage, lowering the risk of unauthorised access.
• Improved User Experience: Users can log in once and gain access to all necessary applications without needing to re-enter credentials, streamlining their workflow.
• Simplified Management: SSO centralises authentication, making it easier to manage user access across multiple systems.

Supported Framework:

Clui supports the widely-used SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) framework, which securely exchanges authentication and authorisation data.

Supported Identity Providers:

• Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
• Google SAML
• Okta SAML
• Auth0 SAML

This ensures compatibility with a variety of identity providers, providing a smooth and secure implementation process.

Please contact Customer Success if you would like to know more about Single Sign On.

Note: There is an annual SSO fee associated with this feature.

Expanded View Enrolment API:

Clui has enhanced the view_enrolment API to allow users to retrieve comprehensive form data fields, making it easier to manage and automate enrolment information. This enhancement eliminates the need for manual workarounds such as downloading reports to extract form data.

Key Benefits:

• Access comprehensive enrolment form data directly via the API.
• Includes form fields such as Information, Text field, Text area, Checkbox, Dropdown select, and Date field.
• The signature box and rating scale fields are excluded from this version.

API Functionality:

A new flag (includeFormData) allows users to choose whether to retrieve detailed form data, providing flexibility based on user needs.

This new feature streamlines processes, allowing direct API access to form data without relying on manual report downloads.

Improvements:

Expanded Support for Special Characters in Certificates:

• Certificates can now display most Unicode special characters, such as "ø," due to the implementation of a new font. This resolves a prior issue where certificates failed to generate if a course or user name contained special characters, resulting in an error.
• While most characters are now supported, certain Unicode characters (such as Chinese or Japanese) may still display as a "?" due to font limitations. However, the certificate will still generate successfully.

Enhanced Response Message for "Delete User from Group" API:

• The Delete User from Group API now provides clearer feedback. If the specified userId or groupId does not exist, the API will return a 404 error with the message: "No record found to delete." This enhancement ensures more accurate and helpful response for users.

Enhanced Error Message for Course Distribution API:

• When distributing a course via user ID, the system will now provide a clearer error message if the username already exists within the learning space. The new message reads:
• "Cannot distribute course via user ID because the username '[username]' is already in use within the learning space."
• This improvement helps prevent confusion when the same username is used for multiple distribution methods.
