So, the children are back to school and summer in the UK is fast becoming a memory. The autumn rains are upon us, which means it must be KS Devs update time!
We've had a busy year in 2015, keeping the KS library titles up to date with the latest releases. We've also been working steadily through the customer wishlist, improving existing tools and adding some new ones into the mix.
Here are the highlights..
New Query Tool
We've been working on new and improved ways to filter and search KS results, users and invites data. This will be a 3-phase dev, as follows:
Phase 1
Create new query tool. We have built a new tool for searching, filtering and capturing KS data.
Query outputs can be captured in a table and exported to csv.
We are capturing a list of popular 'pre-defined' queries, which can be copied and edited.
For example:
Most popular test topics by number taken
Average score and time for top 5 test topics
Global benchmark comparison for top 5 test topics
Users who have 'incomplete tests'
Last 20 results: user names, test names, scores & times
Top 20 skills gaps (i.e. training tags)
Top 20 hardest test questions (i.e. lowest scoring average)
And so on.
Phase 2
Allow KS admins to perform a series of bulk actions, with the results of a query.
For example:
Delete users
Move users from one account to another
Invite users to a test
Delete results
Move results from one account to another
Delete invites
Change invite expiry date
Re-send invites
And so on.
Phase 3
Graphics & charts: we aim to display summary fields on a new dashboard landing page.
For example:
No. of invites sent in last 30 days
No. of completed tests in last 30 days
No. of incomplete tests in last 30 days
Most popular test topics by number taken
Average score and time for top 5 test topics
Average score for Employees vs Interviewees
Global benchmark comparison for top 5 test topics
Last 20 results: user names, test names, scores & times
Top 20 skills gaps (i.e. training tags)
Top 20 hardest test questions (i.e. lowest scoring average)
Plus offer an auto email report to KS admins, which can contain custom values and timescales.
Survey Tool
We have built a survey tool, which sits inside the KS admin dashboard and allows you to create a hybrid assessment/survey. For those times when you want to include questions in the mix, which don't have a 'right or wrong' answer. The UI is mobile responsive and captures survey results and charts in the same KS admin dashboard, for further analysis.
Other Items and a look ahead to 2016
Add Ecommerce page to KS site
Helpdesk part 1: Add new 'Support' section in admin dashboard. Simple form to complete for tech support which is captured in KS CRM system. Future updates may follow, if more functionality and issues log is required.
Design refresh on main dashboard login page/password reset page: make page mobile responsive.
Go live with new KS test report design.
Design refresh on main test taking UI: make mobile responsive; add 'confidence meter' and associated admin dashboard links.
API calls: we have an ongoing dev with a third party vendor, to add more integration to training material hosted in their LMS.
Admin UI design refresh.
System mails: Revisit logic for KS system mails (invites, results, reminders) and how admins/others are copied on system mails.
Allow more than one user group/dynamic group to be selected at a time when sending invites.
Allow selection of default landing account for admins of multiple accounts.
Allow bulk copy & paste of emails on invite page.
Allow bulk upload/import of KS questions.
Key skills search tool.
As always, we'll keep you posted as these devs progress to go live status.
