Versioning Redesign Enhancements (Early Adopter)

With this enhancement, new Curriculum Versioning workflows provide consistent and reliable behavior when a Curriculum child Learning Object (LO) is versioned or Curriculum structured is modified simultaneously. The new workflows ensure that the Versioning and Assignment process happens is correct and consistent. Additionally, an icon is available on the Curricula Administration page that lets administrators know that versioning is still in progress if versioning happened through an administrator's structure changes.

  • To enable this enhancement, administrators can go to Admin > Tools > Learning > Learning Preferences > Feature Activation Preferences. In the Activate New Versioning Enhancements area, click the Activate button.
  • To view the Curricula Administration page, administrators can go to ADMIN > TOOLS > LEARNING > CATALOG MANAGEMENT > CURRICULA. The versioning icon appears in the Options column, where applicable.

Considerations

  • This enhancement is available only in the Stage portal via the feature activation preference for enablement.
  • Cornerstone will communicate detailed Production Deployment Plan at a later stage.
  • Only Curriculum Admin Versioning, Child LO versioning – (Online LO, Material LO/ DMS workflows) are supported.
  • This enhancement is specific to the back-to-back versioning scenarios leading to versioning inconsistencies for Curriculum admin and Curriculum Child LO workflows leading to User assignment issues.
  • If a child LO is removed from the Curriculum structure by an administrator and at the same time, child LO versioning (CVR) requests comes for same LO, the child LO no longer exists in the Curriculum Structure, so the Curriculum versioning will not happen.

Implementation

  • This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations using the Learning module. Additionally, customers must self-enable the feature in Feature Activation Preferences in Stage Portal.
  • This enhancement will be auto-enabled for all customers in the July 2023 release, and it is mandatory to test all the scenarios during the extended UAT cycle ending 31st March.
  • To enable in Production before the July 2023 release, contact Global Customer Support (GCS) if all testing and validations are complete in the Stage UAT cycle. ​

Permissions

The following existing permissions apply to this functionality:

PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Curricula Admin - Manage

Grants ability to create new and edit/update existing curricula. This permission can be constrained by OU, User's OU, Provider, and User's LO Availability. This is an administrator permission.

Adding an OU constraint and a provider constraint to this permission results in an "AND" statement.

Tip: Do not constrain this permission to your entire corporation; it can cause long page load times and timeout errors. Applying this constraint is functionally the same as leaving the permission unconstrained, but omitting this constraint does not cause the system to do the unnecessary constraint checks as in the former scenario.

Tip: Do not constrain this permission to your entire corporation; it can cause long page load times and timeout errors. Applying this constraint is functionally the same as leaving the permission unconstrained, but omitting this constraint does not cause the system to do the unnecessary constraint checks as in the former scenario.
