Thank you very much for using learningBOX. Today, learningBOX has been updated to Version 6.0. We would like to introduce the various features that have been added or improved in this update. Enhanced Features: More Flexible Course Management with Per-Scene Permissions Previously, permissions were primarily granted at the course, folder, or group level. However, with this update, you can now grant “Content Management” “Grade Management,” and “Content Assignment” to specific scenes only. By granting scene-level permissions tailored to each company, administrators can reduce the effort required for course preparation and permission configuration. This minimizes the risk of configuration errors while allowing representatives from each company to quickly create and manage courses on their own. *For details, please refer to “Administrative Permissions.” View illustrated materials (PDF) Streamline Large-Scale Operations with Bulk CSV Configuration of Scene Permissions You can now configure the newly added scene-specific permission assignments in bulk using user CSV or group CSV files. In addition to configuring permissions individually on the screen, using CSV files allows you to easily add, remove, or overwrite existing permissions for multiple users or groups with a single upload. This helps prevent manual configuration oversights and errors, even when handling thousands of scenes or operating within large organizations with a vast number of learners. *For details, please refer to “Granting Permissions via CSV” and “Bulk Registration and Update of Groups.” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) Bulk Scene Configuration for Multiple Courses Now Possible! A new feature has been added that allows you to configure and modify “scenes” for multiple courses at once from the Content Management screen. Previously, you had to open the settings screen for each course individually, but now you can select multiple courses and assign scenes in bulk from a dedicated modal screen. A scene search function is also included, enabling smooth configuration even when multiple scenes are available. *For details, please refer to “Content Management.” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) The Group Record filtering feature has been further enhanced! Previously, it could be time-consuming to download all data and then process it manually, but now you can filter records directly on the screen based on “Account Creation Date,” “First Login Date,” and “Learning Rate” (e.g., 100%). These filter results are automatically reflected in Excel reports and CSV exports for individual courses or folders, as well as in the recipients of notification emails, eliminating the need for manual data processing. This makes it much easier to generate lists of “users who joined during a specific period and have completed their training” or to send bulk emails to those who have not yet completed their training. *For details, please refer to “Medical Records.” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) Batch Operations for Content Assignment, Course Expiration Dates, and Publication Periods Are Now Possible! Previously, you had to open individual screens for each course or folder to make settings. With this new feature, you can assign multiple courses or pieces of content to specific groups or users at once, and set course expiration dates and publication periods in a single operation. Additionally, since you can easily check the set completion deadlines and publication periods on the list screen, this helps prevent missed settings and errors. Furthermore, even if you want to set different periods for each learner, this significantly reduces the number of steps required. *For details, please refer to “Content Assignment Management.” View illustrated guide (PDF) Shortcut Creation Feature Added to Content List A new “Shortcut Creation” feature has been added to the Content List screen. This allows you to easily place existing videos, quizzes, and other content into other courses or folders as “shortcuts.” Since you can place multiple pieces of content together as a single shortcut, this reduces the effort required to manage them individually and allows for smoother management. Additionally, you can now preview content directly from the Content List screen, and the default setting now displays content sorted by registration date in “Newest First” order. *For details, please refer to “Content List (Across Courses and Folders).” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) “Sort by Oldest Due Date” Added to the Course List Panel on the Dashboard In the course list panel on the learner’s dashboard, “Sort by Oldest Due Date” has been added as a new sorting option. This makes it easier for learners to determine at a glance which courses they should prioritize, helping to prevent missed courses. Meanwhile, administrators can flexibly configure the panel to display only courses that meet specific criteria, such as “courses with a remaining number of days until the deadline within a specified range” or “courses that have passed their deadline.” In addition, the labeling of course deadlines has been improved, with phrases such as “○ days remaining” and “Expired” now displayed more clearly. This makes it easier for learners to reliably track their progress. *For details, please refer to “Dashboard.” View illustrated materials (PDF) Ability to filter by “Unfinished Only” on the “Select a Course” screen The usability of the “Select a Course” screen accessed by learners has been improved. A new sorting option, “By Oldest Expiration Date,” has been added to the search results, allowing learners to prioritize courses with upcoming expiration dates. Furthermore, a new toggle switch labeled “Incomplete Only” has been added next to the search bar. Simply turning this on allows learners to quickly filter and display only courses and content for which their completion rate has not reached 100% (e.g., in progress, not started, or failed). This enables learners to intuitively understand what they should study next and which tasks they have yet to complete. *For details, please refer to “Selecting a Course.” View illustrated materials (PDF) Adding enrollment expiration dates and other fields to report merge keys New merge keys will be added to the “Single Course/Folder Learning History” template in the Group Chart report generation feature. The three keys being added are “Login ID,” “Recommended Enrollment Date,” and “Enrollment Expiration Date.” Previously, when compiling annual training plans and performance data, staff had to manually cross-reference multiple data sets in Excel or similar software, which created a significant workload. With this update, you can easily export each participant’s course expiration date, actual learning progress, and login ID all at once to a single Excel file, significantly reducing the data processing required for performance aggregation and report generation. *For details, please refer to “Report Output.” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) Export Learning Histories for Multiple Courses in a Single Report! The report output feature in Group Records has been updated to be even more convenient. A new “Report Output” button has been added to the course list screen that appears after selecting a group, allowing you to export learning histories for multiple courses at once as an Excel report. A new template titled “Learning History for Multiple Courses” is now available, allowing you to extract data such as course expiration dates, start and completion dates, and login IDs all at once. Bulk export is possible as long as the total number of rows—calculated as “number of courses × number of users in the group”—does not exceed 5,000. *For details, please refer to “Report Output.” View Illustrated Guide (PDF) List of New Features/Functionality Improvements For detailed information on the new features and functionality improvements added in this release, including those mentioned above, please refer to the release notes below. ● Release Notes Announcement: Notice Regarding Certain Specification Changes In conjunction with this update, we have modified the specifications of certain features. ● Relaxation of access permissions for the “Content List” (across courses and folders) screen, and addition of a shortcut creation feature ● End of support for Mozilla Firefox Please review the details via the link below and take appropriate action as needed. ● [Advance Notice] Notice of Specification Changes Accompanying the Release of Ver. 6.0 Other For detailed instructions or if you have any questions, please contact us using the information below. ● Contact Form We will continue to do our utmost to provide products and services that satisfy our customers.
