Today we have released an update with a vast array if minor changes. For almost all users these changes will not be visible, however for Site Administrators a lot of these subtle improvements will help personalise your platform further whilst also resolving several outstanding issues.

The Personal Development Log can now have custom fields added (similar to your additional user fields) so you can customise PDL to suit your organisations needs perfectly, whether that be Cost, Location or Reflection you can add an array of additional fields which a user can populate or you can report on.

The platform itself can now have easily added a favicon straight from within the platform making it one step easier to align your organisations branding with the platform.

A collection of issues have been repaired upstream with the Tiles format which will resolve several outstanding issues allowing you to fully benefit from the Tiles format again.

To begin 2023 we are releasing a new plugin called Personal Development Log and numerous new features, improvements and bug fixes to the existing plugins My Team, Learning Pathways & RoadMap.

Over the past few months we have been working at mitigating any possible schedule task delays, improvements on page load speeds and lots of improvements to our existing plugins which are listed below.

What is the Personal Development Log?

The Personal Development Log plugin allows users, managers and site administrators to log, review and suggest training resources. Within the Personal Development Log, a user is able to log any additional training that might have been required, suggested or planned. Managers and site administrators are able to monitor, change and validate any development records that a learner records.

What does a Personal Development Log contain?

Each organisation will use the PDL differently. Some may use it for their CPD, some for logging any external development activities. A PDL record has a Name, Description, time spent and status. You can decide what information you would like in a description to change how you use the tool. In addition to the description you are able to add supporting evidence; managers and administrators can also validate a record which will allow it to count towards the time logged for the learner.

How do I get started?

You are able to speak with your membership manager or the support team about getting started, or you can take a look through the new documentation to begin using it. To get started, you just need to add the manager permissions to your manager roles and add a way for the learners to navigate to their page (both of these are explained in the documentation here: https://support.charitylearnin...)
