Updated Help Topic: Automations
Idea Exchange ID: Not applicable

We made several enhancements to Automations based on user feedback.

Instructors

  • Better visibility of Automations actions
    • Users can now check the status of each automation directly from the list.
    • Each automation now displays who executed it, increasing transparency in multi-instructor courses.
  • Cleaner interface and more intuitive interactions, including:
    • Pagination on the automation list for smoother navigation.
    • Improved error messaging and validation when configuring numeric inputs.
    • Minor layout and usability improvements for the automation rules panel.
    • String and localization improvements.

Image 1: There is an indicator of the status of each automation in the list (active or inactive). The last person to execute the action is stated under each automation, and an error message is displayed for an automation that is incorrectly configured.

A list of automations, showing an active or inactive tag for each one. Below each automation is information about either who last edited or who last ran the automation. At the bottom of the list, there is an error message that states "This automation has an invalid item reference."
