Planning & Self-Study Release Notes for July 15, 2025

Outcome Performance Dashboard

In this release, we are introducing the Outcome Performance Dashboard. This dashboard will provide a clearer, more interactive view of the Learning and Success Outcomes. This dashboard is located under Organization Management, within an organization or course's In Progress tab.

The In Progress tab under Organization Management page with the Outcome Performance Dashboard highlighted.

Dashboard Overview

All Outcomes Visible: Both current and archived outcomes are clearly displayed, matching the order on the Manage Outcomes page.

Pre-selection Logic: If only Learning Outcomes exist, all are pre-selected. If only Success Outcomes exist, all are pre-selected. If both exist, only Learning Outcomes are pre-selected.

Conditional Visibility: The Learning Outcomes accordion is hidden when none exist. The Success Outcomes accordion is hidden when none exist. If neither outcome type is present, an empty state message displays.

Outcome Measure Breakdown

New Toggle: See outcomes broken down by their associated measures with a new toggle. It turns off if no outcomes are selected.

Real-Time Data: Charts and breakdowns update instantly when measures change status, or if outcomes/measures are removed or deselected.
